Do you feel like your body is always bracing… on edge, overstimulated, or reacting to things more intensely than you want it to?
Maybe there are experiences from your past that you know still affect you. Or maybe you don’t think of yourself as someone who has experienced “trauma,” but certain memories, relationships, fears, or situations continue to trigger anxiety that doesn’t seem to respond to logic..
You might find yourself replaying painful experiences, avoiding certain situations, scanning for danger, struggling with intrusive thoughts, or feeling a physical surge of anxiety before your mind even understands why. Sleep can feel off, your system exhausted, but wired.
Trauma doesn’t always come from one catastrophic event. Childhood experiences, difficult relationships, loss, medical experiences, birth trauma, betrayal, chronic stress, emotional abuse, or periods of life when you simply didn’t feel safe can all leave an imprint on the nervous system..
You may look high-functioning on the outside, but inside, you feel overwhelmed and depleted.
You’ve tried coping strategies. You’ve tried pushing through. You’ve tried talking about it.
But the anxiety keeps returning…
Sometimes, understanding why you feel the way you do isn’t enough. Your mind may know that you’re safe now while your nervous system continues to respond as though the threat is still happening.
You are not alone – and you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself.
My Therapy Approach
I specialize in helping women process and resolve trauma and the anxiety, fear, and nervous-system activation that can remain long after a difficult experience has ended.
My work integrates:
- Trauma-informed psychotherapy
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Somatic and nervous-system regulation
- Integrative wellness and lifestyle coaching
We don’t just process emotions. We don’t just reframe thoughts. We don’t just build routines. We work at all three levels – brain, body, and lifestyle, so transformation is sustainable.
Healing from trauma isn’t simply about understanding what happened. It’s about helping your brain and body recognize that the experience is over, reducing the emotional and physical response connected to it, and creating a greater sense of safety in your life now.
Alongside trauma processing, I help women understand and regulate their nervous systems, recognize patterns that may have developed as ways of protecting themselves, and build lives that feel calmer, safer, and more intentional.
Sessions are structured, focused, and collaborative. You won’t sit wondering what to talk about. We move intentionally toward relief.
How this practice is different:
Many women come here after trying traditional talk therapy and still feeling stuck. That’s because understanding a story isn’t the same as processing and releasing it.
You may completely understand where your anxiety comes from and still feel your body react. You may know a painful experience happened years ago and still feel activated when something reminds you of it. Or you may have talked about what happened many times without feeling fundamentally different.
This is where trauma-processing approaches such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy can be especially powerful.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
As an Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) specialist, I use this research-supported trauma modality to help the brain reprocess painful memories without prolonged exposure or repeated retelling.
ART incorporates some of the most effective elements used in EMDR and other evidence-informed therapies, including calming eye movements, while combining them with guided imagery and memory-reprocessing techniques designed to help the brain change the way distressing experiences are stored.
You remain in control throughout the process, and you do not have to share every detail of what happened in order for ART to work.
ART allows clients to “keep the knowledge and lose the pain” of traumatic memories.
With ART, you can experience relief in just 1–5 sessions for issues like:
- Trauma and adverse childhood experiences
- Relationship trauma, betrayal, or emotional abuse
- Birth trauma or difficult medical experiences
- Panic attacks
- OCD and intrusive thoughts
- Health anxiety
- Postpartum anxiety
- Performance anxiety
- Persistent stress that feels “stuck” in the body
- Specific memories or experiences that continue to trigger an emotional or physical reaction
Many women notice meaningful shifts in emotional reactivity, anxiety levels, and physical tension as unresolved memories are processed.
Extended 90-minute sessions are recommended when working through specific traumatic memories or entrenched anxiety patterns. These sessions allow for deeper, uninterrupted trauma processing.
For women who are short on time or hoping to move through multiple traumatic experiences more efficiently, I offer half-day ART intensives (3–4 hours). These focused formats are designed to address and resolve multiple traumas in a condensed, structured way.
You do not need to spend years repeatedly revisiting painful experiences in order to heal from them.
The goal is not endless therapy. The goal is resolution.

Hi! I’m Rebecca
As a licensed therapist since 2010 and coach trained in integrative wellness, my expertise lies in transforming women’s lives to alleviate anxiety.
Beyond incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy and coping skills, I concentrate on comprehensive changes across health, lifestyle, and schedules. I also offer accelerated resolution therapy to quickly and efficiently resolve trauma and other mental health concerns.
As someone who understands the struggles of managing anxiety, I’m here to guide you through these shifts, fostering a holistic transformation for a more balanced and anxiety-free life. Let’s work together to simplify and create a path towards tranquility amid life’s demands.
Anxiety & Trauma Therapy For Women
Investment
I offer a highly personalized, integrative approach to therapy that is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and nervous system on any given day.
Personalized Therapy Sessions: $250
Each session is guided by what will be most supportive and effective for you in that moment. This may include a blend of somatic work, nervous system regulation, and deeper trauma processing approaches such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), when appropriate.
While many sessions are around 50 minutes, sessions that involve deeper processing work – such as ART – tend to be closer to 90 minutes when possible, allowing space for meaningful and lasting shifts. There is no separate fee for this work; sessions are paced and extended as clinically indicated.
Half-Day Intensives: $1000
For those seeking a more focused and immersive experience, I offer a limited number of half-day (3-4 hour) intensives.
These are designed for women who are ready to move through something more deeply or efficiently, or who would like to dedicate uninterrupted time to processing and integration.
A half-day intensive can be a beautiful option if you already have a therapist you love and simply feel ready to work through a specific layer of trauma more directly. Many clients choose to come in for an intensive as a one-time investment in their well-being, allowing us to focus deeply on what feels stuck, before returning to their ongoing therapy with greater clarity and relief.
For others, an intensive can serve as a starting point for our work together, creating meaningful momentum that we then continue to build on in regular sessions. It can be a great opportunity for women who are short on time and want to work through multiple traumatic experiences at any point during our work together.
These sessions are intentionally spacious and paced to support your nervous system, allowing for deeper processing work, such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), in a way that feels grounded, supported, and effective.
A couple notes…
Services are available to adult female Massachusetts residents.
Most insurance plans reimburse only for standard 40–50 minute psychotherapy sessions. Your medical insurance plan may reimburse you for a portion of that cost or pay for the whole thing. It is your responsibility to confirm benefits. If I am an out-of-network provider for your insurance plan, and you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly super bill for you to submit for potential reimbursement. Please reach out with questions.
Is This the Right Fit?
My work is best suited for adult women in Massachusetts who are ready to move beyond coping and toward meaningful relief.
If you’re looking for thoughtful, structured therapy that integrates trauma resolution with practical nervous-system and lifestyle support, I invite you to reach out to schedule an initial session.
Trauma can show up differently for every woman. You don’t need to have experienced one obvious catastrophic event for trauma therapy to be appropriate. I frequently work with women experiencing:
- Childhood trauma and adverse childhood experiences
- Relationship trauma, betrayal, and emotional abuse
- Birth and postpartum trauma
- Medical trauma
- Loss and painful life experiences
- Intrusive or distressing memories
- Panic and fear responses
- Health anxiety
- OCD and intrusive thoughts
- Anxiety connected to unresolved experiences
- Chronic hypervigilance or feeling constantly “on guard”
- Emotional triggers that feel disproportionate to what’s happening now
- Persistent stress or tension that feels stuck in the body
You don’t have to determine whether what happened was “bad enough” to qualify as trauma. If an experience is still affecting your nervous system, relationships, thoughts, emotions, or ability to feel safe and present, it is worth addressing.
Healing the Experience — Not Just Managing the Symptoms
Coping skills have an important place in therapy. But sometimes coping becomes an endless job: calming yourself down, challenging the thought, distracting yourself, breathing through the reaction — only to have the same fear or trigger return again.
Trauma therapy asks a different question: What if we could help your brain process what is driving the reaction in the first place?
That is the work we do together.
The goal is for the past to become something you remember — rather than something your nervous system continues to experience as though it is happening now.
Ready to feel different, not just understand why you feel this way?
Reach out to schedule an initial session or to learn whether Accelerated Resolution Therapy may be a good fit for you.
Some people do not meet criteria for an anxiety disorder, but still want to build a life with less stress. My coaching programs or creative tools might be a great way to get there.
