Hi! I’m Genevieve! (she/her)
I offer virtual EMDR Therapy informed by dance/movement therapy and parts work in Massachusetts for Adults looking to address anxiety, trauma and self worth.
Finding a therapist is not an easy task, and you deserve to take your time to find a good match. I’m not here to win you over or convince you I’m the best fit for you. I’m just here to remind you of your options. At the end of the day, I’m just a human trying my best to be there for other humans. So here’s a bit about me…
I grew up in the Midwest in a family of 7.
I’m a retired college dance major who still identifies as a mover and groover.
I have a dog who calms my anxiety as much as she activates it.
I am a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser who often feels like an imposter.
I value curiosity and believe in our innate capacity for healing and growth as humans.
I LOVE ABBA and most music… especially when there’s a banjo involved.
Playing games (card, board and video) is my favorite form of socializing.
Ted Lasso is probably, most definitely, my favorite TV show.
I am committed to creating a container of (relative) safety for the humans I see where they can reconnect with their inherent ability to thrive instead of just survive. You can UNMASK here. LGBTQ+ individuals, people navigating cultural or religious complexity, and others who have felt 'too much' in the wrong rooms are always welcome here.
If you’re interested in working together or want to connect and see if we could be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you!
My Training and Approach
Trauma doesn’t just live in our memories — it lives in our bodies. In the way we brace before a hard conversation, go numb when something feels like too much, or can’t seem to settle even when things are objectively okay. That’s why I’ve always believed that healing has to meet the body where it is, not just work around it.
My background in dance/movement therapy shaped how I understand the relationship between movement, the nervous system, and emotional experience long before I trained in EMDR. When I discovered EMDR, what struck me was how naturally the two approaches fit together — one offering a powerful, evidence-based path through trauma, the other bringing the body fully into that process rather than leaving it at the door.
That combination is what I call Embodied EMDR. It’s not a technique so much as an orientation — a commitment to working with your whole self, not just the parts that show up in words or narrative.
I hold a Board Certification in Dance/Movement Therapy (BC-DMT) through the American Dance Therapy Association. BC-DMT is the highest credential in the field, reflecting advanced clinical training in how the body holds and processes experience. It’s a relatively rare specialization — and one that very few EMDR therapists also hold.
I am also a Certified EMDR Therapist™ through EMDRIA. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most well-researched treatments available for trauma and anxiety, recognized by the WHO and the American Psychological Association. I also hold a certification in Traumatic Stress Studies through the Trauma Research Foundation and am a CAMS-trained provider.
But more than the credentials, what drives my work is a genuine belief in the body’s capacity to heal — and a commitment to creating the kind of space where that can actually happen.
