Therapists in Vermont

I am most effective with people who want to do deep exploration and to grow spiritually and emotionally. We start with body awareness, developing skills to tolerate strong emotions and cultivate deeper connection with the resources that are inherent to us all. Using the Internal Family Systems model as the foundation, we will get to know parts of you who are burdened with painful emotions and beliefs and restore them to their natural state. We will increase your ability to live life from a calm, clear state.

I believe we are all on a journey to know ourselves. What do you care about in this life? Are you living in a way that is in harmony with your values? Are there areas of you life that feel out of balance? Do you respond thoughtfully to life's challenges or do you react impulsively? These are meaningful and growth inspiring questions. Let's get to work!

An effective, compassionate therapist helps you connect to your own wisdom and harness the energy to thrive. Though life can be hard sometimes, extreme suffering need not persist. I will help you escape stuck patterns or traumas that stop you from enjoying life and doing what matters most to you. It's common to have to rediscover, or even learn for the first time, how to live well. During difficult times, we may just need a little assistance. I have twenty-five years of experience supporting clients as they eliminate obstacles, reach cherished goals & attain enduring satisfaction.

Access through my website. Professional Development and Supervision: I provide clinical supervision to pre-licensed clinicians with the option to bill through my license, and consultation services for psychotherapists, medical providers, businesses and organizations, school personnel, and other professionals. If you would like to be added to a mailing list for updates about clinical trainings available for CEUs, feel free to send me a message.

I offer consultations, psychotherapy, and intensive psychoanalysis. An initial consultation will allow an investigation into the possibility of working together.

I believe we all have the capacity for meaningful change, and am passionate about helping people recognize their strengths. The foundation of my therapeutic approach is simple; the relationship between counselor and patient is the most important consideration for positive change. I have over eight years of experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, life changes and more. My approach is strengths based, helping people keep sight of their inherent strengths while working through challenges. I enjoy incorporating drumming, music, and humor in therapy. I work with adults age 21 and up.

Asking for help can be one of the hardest decisions/actions an individual takes when they are struggling with actively using alcohol and/or substances. I also believe it is the most courageous decision/action you may make in your life. An individual who does this is allowing themselves to be vulnerable. When done with the right support can be the most rewarding and empowering experience for an individual. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, warm space for you as the client to explore your relationship with alcohol and/or substances.

Life is full of emotions, sometimes its joy but sometimes its a sense of struggling and pain. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship/marital problems can all add to this sense of struggling. Especially, when we aren't well equipped to withstand it. Sometimes that struggle feels like this heavy cloud or mask we walk around with. Sometimes that struggle isolates us and causes us to become disconnected from ourselves or our loved ones. Playing tug of war with that struggle only makes it more draining.

People approach my door with different degrees of readiness for change, hope for the future, and understanding of themselves. I aim to guide you in building the life you want with confidence, whether you are new to therapy or a seasoned pro. Together, we will navigate your depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, disordered eating, trauma, and other challenges. As no two people are alike, my approach to therapy is varied based on your needs, which may include challenging long-held beliefs, listening and validation, or bringing a sense of humor into the room.

Are you stuck? Worried about what direction you are going in and wondering why you struggle with relationships? I work with individuals who would like to explore their relationships, goals, communication skills and want to feel more satisfaction in their life journey. I have worked with folks who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, anger and fear and understand we don't live in a bubble but in the structures of our lives (school, relationships, careers, communities, etc.)

Being a person in 2024 is hard. Whether you're experiencing depression or anxiety, understanding new identities, working towards building healthy relationships, or simply trying to understand your own goals better, it can feel overwhelming. I see therapy as a means of helping you understand how you work, supporting you in identifying strategies for getting your needs met, and building motivation to try new things. I believe in a collaborative approach and work to integrate feedback to co-create a therapy relationship where you feel safe and seen.

My clinical experience includes assessment and therapy services to adults, young adults, adolescents and families with over 15 years in experience in the field in various environments. I want to be sure that therapy can be approachable and useful for everyone, adapting to the needs of the person, while having a grounding in cognitive-behavioral approaches.

Every person has resilience and the capacity to heal. In my clinical practice, I seek to help people build a life of their choosing. I am a therapist who will affirm and support my clients as they investigate their identities, life experiences, and values. I use methods including somatic awareness, mindfulness, and relational therapy.

When you’re depressed, something as easy as getting up in the morning, can take all your energy and motivation. Some days, you may even stay in bed all day, and then get mad at yourself because you didn’t do anything all day, again. You start retreating from friends and family and do less and less outside the home. Activities that once were "fun", no longer feel as exciting, and you just can’t seem to muster up the strength to do that one thing you know would make you feel better. You just feel blah, and it doesn’t feel like it will ever change. All you want to do is be able to enjoy life again, and not carry the weight that you

I have experience with a diversity of issues including anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. I am a trained depth psychotherapist (Jungian-oriented), and am concerned with addressing symptoms at their root cause. I balance this approach by offering avenues of relief from symptoms in the present. Easing the burden of suffering in the here-and-now allows us to engage more fully with the work of addressing original causes, and thereby contributes to long-term resolution.

Children are often puzzling, but when they behave in unexpected ways they are telling us something important. Students who are struggling in school need a system of support to help them succeed. When families, schools, and medical practitioners all work together, the 'picture' starts to emerge. My experience as a family therapist and a school counselor gives me insight into what they are trying to tell us and how their systems can work together to support them. My studies in School Psychology help me to assess issues and write positive behavior support plans.

I create a trusting, safe, and fulfilling bond with each client. From there, I follow your lead as we establish goals tailored to your challenges while slowly making strides towards a happier, more fulfilling, and healthier lifestyle. If you are someone that is interested in making changes for the better, while in a casual environment, then we are a good match!

Sometimes life is complicated, stressful, and can feel overwhelming, especially in today's world. When interpersonal relationships, family dynamics, or mental health challenges present themselves it is comforting to know that you don't have to sit with all of that by yourself. Connecting with someone and working on life's difficulties, whether it be old wounds or new, can be liberating and empowering. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions; together we can work on the difficult and rewarding work of being the best version of yourself you can be.
