Chronic Illness Therapists in Norwich, VT

I work with adults using a psychodynamic approach to foster self-awareness and insight into internal conflicts and relationship patterns. If you are looking for intensive psychotherapy to better understand yourself please contact me to schedule a consultation. I also provide clinical supervision to mental health professionals and trainees.

For over a decade, I’ve worked with individuals in some form of transition or major life change, often with trauma histories not too far below the surface. In each situation, I’ve found the most transformational interactions to be those rooted in both insight and somatic practices so it is a gift to craft a professional life at that precise intersection. Guided by genuine care and warmth, I support clients in gently attuning to the “data” stored in their body as a springboard to better understand, and compassionately respond to, core needs of safety, ease, worth, and authentic connection (with both self and others).

Therapy is about healing. It's about bringing careful attention to emotional wounds (both old and new) and working with the difficult mental/emotional patterns that interfere with our ability to be healthy and happy. In my practice, I create a client-centered, safe, and confidential environment that makes this work both possible and rewarding. I participate fully in the client's process, holding the space that can allow healing to occur. Most would describe my style as interactive and relational. Depending on the client and presenting need, my treatment modality ranges between Cognitive-Behavioral, mindfulness-based, and psychodynamic.

What gets in the way of you achieving your goals or of feeling a sense of joy? How do you want this day to unfold? My goal is to create a safe space to work together to uncover your strengths. I believe that you already have what you need inside of you. I am a warm and compassionate listener. I will work collaboratively with you, using evidenced based and creative strategies.

Are you looking for compassionate care to help you or a loved one address difficult emotions, experiences, or transitions? Hanover CBT is a group private practice with clinicians who specialize in working with individuals across the lifespan experiencing a wide range of mental health struggles. We seek to assist clients in cultivating awareness, wisdom, and courage in every aspect of their lives while meeting each client with compassion, integrity, and presence. We believe that it is brave to ask for support and we work with our patients to develop strength-based practices and approaches to coping with challenges.

My goal is to support clients in developing the specific skills, and taking the new actions, that will allow them to more effectively cope with the many challenges they face with the aging process. In addition, clients also find that one’s personal residence is the ideal place where a nurturing, supportive, and therapeutic relationship is established.

I believe in treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. I work collaboratively with each client to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs, strengths, and goals. My person-first approach focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and empowering clients to take an active role in their recovery. Whether helping clients manage anxiety, depression, relational functioning, or other mental health concerns, I draw from a variety of modalities to provide tailored support.

My experience is in treating depressive and anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. I also particularly enjoy working with young adults and adults experiencing more complex and severe forms of mental illness (including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other forms of psychosis ). Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a collaborative process in which we’ll work together to identify what you hope to address and create a strategy to achieve your goals. Often it can be helpful to better understand the complex pattern of interactions between your thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

People come to therapy for many different reasons: To deal with a specific problem or concern; to develop better ways of coping with life's stresses; to overcome old obstacles; to heal from loss; to become happier, stronger and more resilient. Numerous studies have shown that one of the most important factors in helping people in therapy achieve change is a strong and trusting relationship with their therapist. I am committed to creating a warm and supportive environment in which my clients can explore their challenges, learn new skills, and find and use the innate strengths that they possess.

I come to my work as a therapist from backgrounds as an artist, hospital oncology chaplain, art professor and activist, meditation teacher, lover of movement, backpacker Dharma bum, essayist, companion of rescue pups, and former Buddhist nun. I've been around the block, tried many things, succeeded and failed, and carried my heart through many of this world's wild, beautiful, boring, terrible, sacred spaces. All of which feels relevant to working with clients who dare to trust their creative and intuitive processes as they come into fierce, tender, inalienable wholeness.
