Everyone comes to psychotherapy with a unique set of concerns; thus, every course of psychotherapy is different. Part of my role is learning how I can be helpful to you in particular. In general, I view therapy as a place for increasing self-awareness. Often, we don't fully understand why we go about our lives as we do - and why we have the difficulties that we have. Without adequate self-awareness, we tend to unwittingly repeat the same patterns and suffer accordingly. It is only when we understand ourselves as we truly are that we become free to choose new possibilities.
I am trained to help you get to know yourself better by carefully attending to what you say, asking questions that will deepen our dialogue, and making connections and observations. Together, we will learn about you and your challenges, and in so doing, free you up for new growth.
I am passionate about continuing to learn and teach psychotherapy. I am currently a psychoanalytic candidate with the Vermont Psychoanalytic Study Group, a Certified Dialogue Therapist (Dialogue Therapy is a couples therapy), and president of the Vermont Association for Psychoanalytic Studies. I have taught at the graduate level and supervise new therapists.
