My practice is based on the premise that the relationship is key to emotional wellbeing. Life experiences and especially trauma can lead us to distort our interpretations of both our internal and external worlds. My counseling experience began in 2007 working with young people with extensive social, emotional, and behavioral needs. This inevitably raised my awareness of the importance of the family and related support systems. I spent much of my life as a professional musician and have been able to use music in my therapeutic work, supporting the development and maintenance of sharing, self-regulation, and effective communication.

There are many reasons why someone might want to seek out counseling; maybe it's the desire to feel less depressed or anxious, to be more connected or understood, or to learn better communication skills in relationship to others. More often than not, the reason a person reaches out to a therapist is because something is out of balance or 'off'. I believe that people have an inherent desire to feel good and that we do the best we can until we learn better ways.

I have been in private practice in Hardwick, VT since 2003. I use a psychodynamic approach. Psychodynamic therapy views the therapeutic relationship as a mirror of patients' difficulties in relation to others and, on a deeper level, of patients' earlier relations to their parents. This type of therapy is valuable for anyone but especially for people who are curious, who have the capacity for insight, and who are passionate for self-development. Common presenting issues are depression, anxiety, family of origin conflict, relationship problems (for example, divorce, separation), history of abuse/neglect, and obsessive and/or compulsive behaviors.

I like to work with people who are wanting to work on decreasing their anxiety, wherever this comes from including past trauma, OCD, or present life circumstances. I have worked with military members in the past, and have always liked working with them and other adults. I find that people like to look at their attachment styles and see how this affects their present relationships, of all kinds.

When your life needs direction, connection, and/or balance, whether it's your past, present, or future that brings your desire for change, you hold the power to heal. I believe that with honest self-exploration you can identify the roots of your discomfort and the path forward. I believe in the innate goodness of each person and their power to create the solutions to their challenges. I will partner in your self-discovery and healing by creating a safe, non-judgmental space to begin the work of lowering defenses and looking into the most protected areas of yourself.

I believe losing touch with our life purpose can lead to depression, anxiety, mood imbalances, and disconnection to Self. By utilizing talk therapy, goals and embracing the here and now, we have opportunities to reach for and reconnect with healing spirit, opening a portal in which one resolves the obstacles holding us back; This journey facilitates access to a path of self discovery of the deeper meaning and gifts we hold in life. Like an onion, peeling away limiting layers of self-beliefs and the attending reactivity to those beliefs, one can foster deeper awareness of life experience, and a renewal of our sense of purpose.

My role as a psychotherapist is to help you develop a stronger sense of self-presence and self worth, to help you understand and validate feelings, to provide support for anxiety, depression and grief, and to help you develop the ability to find comfort and wisdom within yourself.
