Since everyone has the ability to improve and achieve their goals, I'm eager to assist anyone who is willing to help themselves. I've been a Vermont State Trooper for thirty years, so I have a solid understanding of the range of difficulties life presents. I have assisted people in resolving marital problems, difficult family dynamics, drug misuse struggles, bereavement, and a host of other particular difficulties that Vermonters encounter. My practice is based on the conviction that every challenge can be surmounted through effective communication and faith in oneself and others. I'm excited to speak with you.

Hello, and welcome! I applaud you for taking the first step to seek support to help you navigate whatever is going on in your life that has landed you here. I believe that a supportive counseling relationship is a powerful tool to encourage change and that clients have the skills inside themselves to overcome obstacles and realize their full potential. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I focus on finding the right tools and resources to create our path forward.

Not taking new clients at the moment. Reaching out for help is often the hardest part, so good for you for starting the process! It is my goal to understand you as a person first and foremost, which will help me understand how best to help you. I strive to build our therapeutic relationship on compassion, empathy, hard work, humor, and tend do a lot of laughing with my clients.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or loved one can be a difficult task. A true "Master" of the healing arts is one who has spent years learning, practicing, and refining their skills as a healer. Individuals, couples and families first entering into the therapeutic relationship often feel overwhelmed, confused, anxious and vulnerable. They need to feel safe by knowing that they are truly being heard and respected. They also need to trust that their therapist has sufficient experience to patiently guide them thru the process of self discovery on their path to wellness and feeling whole, perhaps for the first time in their life.

I wish to serve as a guide for my clients on their own journey towards self-discovery. I am practicing humanistic psychology and my primary focus is to create an empathetic, non-judgmental, and safe therapeutic relationship. By using person-centered counseling, I am able to help my clients discover their authentic selves. I wish to help reduce anxiety and aid my clients in developing a positive self-image for themselves. I am interested in learning and understanding my clients’ self-perceptions and view of their own reality. My belief is that our worth is conditioned by others and this often can be detrimental to our mental health.

No Current Availability Welcome! My approach to working with adolescents and adults centers around compassionate interactions to empower individuals to move and grow beyond their current situations. I believe that it is important for everyone to feel responded to and heard. Through the continued development of a strong sense of self, I believe that people possess the skills needed to change their situations. I look forward to sharing my therapeutic philosophy and guiding you to achieve your greatest potential.

Unresolved experiences or unmet needs can show up in our lives in many ways. From feelings of anxiety, depression, to interpersonal conflict, and even somatic symptoms, leading to imbalance and often incomplete coping that keeps us stuck. These all tell an intricate story about what needs attention, healing, and resolution. With curiosity and compassion, we can explore your experiences, thoughts, emotions, and patterns, to gain insight and clarity, creating a map toward resolution and goals that most align with you.

I am trained in Basic and Advanced AIT, or Advanced Integrative Therapy, which is a gentle and effective method of releasing the ENERGY OF TRAUMA FROM THE BODY. Different levels of trauma underly relationship conflicts, depression, anxiety and long term, long held mental health concerns. Are you feeling stuck and want to try something different? Chronically depressed, anxious and just not feeling as great as you would like to feel? Jobs and relationships suffering? I am happy to demonstrate this technique at any time!

** UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME ** I believe that all people have innate potential for growth and change. This belief is the cornerstone of my practice and my commitment to you is to use that conviction to inform our work together. I have experience working with individuals experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, PTSD and other effects of trauma, grief and loss, aging, and parenting and relationship challenges. I also have extensive experience working with individuals diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorders and/or intellectual disabilities and their families.

Hello! Not accepting new clients at this time. Services available for Psychotherapists: Clinical Supervision (individual and group), Consultations, Trainings and Seminars. Licensure hours and CEU's available for LCMHC, LicSW and LMFT. Supervision and training for supervisors is also available.

Psychotherapy is very rewarding and challenging work. Anyone seeking to make themselves healthier needs to know that and be open to change. Despite how difficult it is to work through the issues that disrupt our lives, the reward is learning that life is a process worth living and improving on a continuous basis. I treat people with trauma issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, career moves, family issues, OCD, addictive behaviors, relationship problems and interpersonal unhappiness often beginning with providing psycho-educational information such as personal boundaries, basic human rights, safety, and coping and advocacy skills.
