For over three decades I have counseled individuals, couples and families. I love my work. I am a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Supervisor, Consultant, Adjunct Professor, Keynote/Workshop Presenter and Non-Denominational Minister. Informed by Family Systems Theory, Relational Life Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I will stay curious and interested in your work, give you my undivided attention, communicate understanding, witness your feelings, challenge your stressful beliefs, provide direction and support, and believe in your ability to think and act in new ways.

Light-filled office, gender neutral bathroom, water available. Located above the Flying Pig Bookstore.

I have had extensive training with Esther Perel, Terrence Real and Pat Love and specialize in helping couples with intimacy, sex, trust and communication issues. I also provide supervision to licensed therapists and those working towards licensure.
