As a therapist, my goal is to help you live a happier and more fulfilling life. It can be difficult to know if you are on the right path, have healthy relationships, and are satisfied with your life's direction. How do you feel about where you are headed? I can support your self discovery in a compassionate and understanding way. I work towards identifying one's strengths and empowering clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship problems and life transitions. I specialize in working with young women, new moms and couples navigating the transitional stages of family life.
I have a holistic approach that uses yoga and mindfulness to help anchor you in your body. I am a certified yoga teacher. Our bodies are an amazing resource we can turn to for more awareness about what’s going on internally, especially if we suffer from symptoms of anxiety and depression. I offer a non-judgmental space of support to help you grow and thrive.
Support and connection are so important in life. You are making a wise choice to pursue therapy. You are investing in you. I offer a free phone consultation to hear about your needs and tell you more about my practice. I look forward to hearing from you. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and can practice telehealth in VT.
