Offering Weekend hours - I am a professional Social Worker specializing in death, dying, bereavement, and chronic and persistent physical debilities as well as mental health issues. I have extensive experience working with issues related to chronic and life limiting illness, chronic pain, aging, and dementia, and caring for the needs of the dying at end of life. Other experience includes working with adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, trauma, and coping skills. My therapeutic approaches are rooted in Narrative, Existential, and Psychodynamic therapy.
Implementation of treatment is compassionate and emotionally focused. I believe the therapeutic relationship between a therapist and client can be healing in itself, and I collaborate with every individual client on a person-specific treatment plan.
My current practice hours are Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, 9:30am - 2pm - 1pm being my last available appointment in the day. Saturdays are currently full. I am offering mainly telehealth sessions at this time. My physical office where I am currently seeing clients is located in Saint Albans, VT (05478).
