Coventry Therapists in 05404

As a seasoned psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I work with both individuals and couples. I am experienced and comfortable working with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, trauma or abuse, stress, and life transitions. It is certainly not necessary though to have identified a problem in order to meet with me, as I also work with people who are feeling stuck or unfulfilled in life to find ways to move forward differently. Couples most often contact me to work through relationship problems that have arisen, improve communication, and restore the connection.

I have been providing psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, couples, and families in Vermont for over eighteen years in a wide range of clinical settings and across a broad scope of client populations. As a therapist, I support people through a process of improving their health and well-being, of living more more mindfully, and of creating opportunities for healing. I also assist clients in exploring personal growth, in developing new insights about themselves and their relationships, in learning skills to reduce stress, anxiety, and other forms of suffering, and in limiting obstacles that impact them from reaching their potential.

As a clinical social worker, I believe that we all have unique strengths and capacities to face the challenges in our lives. I work with my clients in a collaborative, empowering way. Through the therapy process, solutions and plans to move forward reveal themselves, as you grow more confident in your strengths, intuition and your vision for your life. Working with the stories and thoughts we carry about ourselves and the world, we work to create new ideas, beliefs and behaviors that will lead to a more fulfilling life.

My hope is that we will create a space together in which a unique healing relationship may unfold. To facilitate that space, I tend to focus on your feelings and how they are held in the body; on past experiences and how they relate to current feelings and relational patterns; on how relational patterns may be being repeated within the therapy; on the richness of your internal world (that emerges, for example, in dreams, daydreams, artwork, etc.); and on awareness itself, within which all of the above happens.

Overcome anxiety, depression, addictions, relational or other behavioral patterns that make it difficult to cope with life and create low self esteem or conflict. Recover your true self. My practice is tailored to respect each individual's needs in therapy. In our work together we will use mind-body and expressive arts therapies, particularly Dance/Movement Therapy, to build on your strengths and develop effective life skills. Dance/Movement Therapy is the use of dance and other forms of body movement in psychotherapy to further healing and growth by stimulating insight into and changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

*Please note: I have little to no availability for new clients at this time. I will update this if anything changes.* My emphasis is on building a strong relationship as the foundation for change, and using this collaboration to explore which evidence based and client centered approaches will be most helpful for you. We'll work together to figure out what's right for you. Prior to going into private practice, my background in substance abuse counseling as well as crisis services has taught me to be flexible in my approach and to recognize the unique challenges which each individual faces.

I am a dedicated professional committed to providing quality mental health services. It is my overall goal to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families. It is my belief that all people are valuable and unique and should be treated with dignity and respect. While recognizing the potential for change, an assessment of the client's emotional, physical, spiritual, and life experience is provided in a caring environment.

I work with children, adolescents, families and adults to treat anxiety, depression, relationship, behavioral and adjustment issues. My style is highly compassionate, respectful and genuine.

We all need a tune-up at certain times in our life. Our work together, tailored to each individual, offers the opportunity to help you to take charge of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors along with raising self-esteem, nurturing oneself in healthy, positive ways, releasing your emotional pain and assertively taking care of yourself with others. Childhood issues often create unidentified patterns that work silently in the background to sabotage you accomplishing your goals in life. I work interactively from a Mindfulness based approach as well as Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems and Psychodynamic Therapies.

I offer therapy services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Developing a dialogue between therapist and client we work together in the relationship to understand, and expand one's understanding of one's personal and life narrative. Meeting the individual at their level is important in the development of a trusting working alliance. My belief in the therapeutic relationship itself plays a pivotal role in the healing process, where my work is founded on trust, empathy, and humor. I offer my commitment to the human journey and look forward to working collaboratively with my clients to renewed understanding, growth, and healing.

Get unstuck, rebuild your relationship, heal your past & create the life you have been longing for. If you are anxious, sad or stuck, I can help you reclaim the life you crave. Together we can work to discover who you are beyond your distress. Through skillful conversations and guided explorations, I help my clients disentangle, heal and navigate through their pain. I specialize in the treatment of individuals and couples seeking help with depression, anxiety, infidelity, stress and life transitions. I also work with clients who need assistance with eating disorders and other addictive processes, workplace difficulties, self-esteem, intimacy, trauma and grief and loss.

I have had experience working with a highly diverse population of people of all ages within varied settings. My background in the areas of mental health, domestic and sexual violence, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders (mental health and substance abuse disorders) allows me to be confident in providing the best treatment approaches for the individual. My therapeutic approach centers on why a person is entering therapy and what they need and want to achieve. I believe in working with the whole person in a holistic manner and integrate alternative approaches into the therapy.

*Not accepting new clients at this time* I help people overcome challenges and make changes in their lives by providing a balance of comforting support and honest feedback. My goal is to help individuals become the best versions of themselves. My approach, although individualized to each person, draws on strategies which empower clients to find their own strengths and can include cognitive behavioral, dialectical, and person-centered interventions.

I provide a specialized and intensive treatment which is suitable for a wide range of common mental health problems. I’m also trained to work with medically unexplained symptoms and people who’ve had multiple failed treatments. Because of the intensity and depth of the treatment I provide, you'll likely experience symptom relief faster than usual, and the depth of the work gets at the core of the problem leading to lasting relief. It’s not enough to just make the symptoms go away - we seek to understand why you have them in the first place so that in the future, post-therapy, the symptoms don't come back.

I provide psychotherapy and coaching for individuals, couples, and families. Some of the issues I focus on include: anxiety and depression; trauma and loss; relationship and family conflict; health, stress, and work issues; self-esteem; life transitions; and child behavior and parenting issues.
