I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in aging, death/dying, and bereavement. I have extensive experience working with issues related to chronic and life limiting illness, chronic pain, different forms of Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Cancer, ALS, and Caregivers caring for the needs of the aging, sick and dying. Other experience includes adjustment issues and life transitions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, coping skills, and healing after a loved one has completed suicide. My therapeutic approaches are rooted in Narrative, Existential, and Psychodynamic Therapy, with an emphasis on Spirituality.
Implementation of treatment is compassionate and emotionally focused. The therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is rooted in trust, honesty, confidentiality, and positive intention. I collaborate with every individual client on a person-specific approach to therapy that best fits that persons needs.
My current practice hours are Monday-Friday, 9:00am - 4pm. My physical office is located in Saint Albans, VT (05478).
