I answer every email if it reaches me. And, YES, I have open slots. Feeling overwhelmed and anxious because of big happenings in your life? Let me introduce a different kind of counseling to help you navigate grief, change, and adjustment, good or bad, because you can be the hero of your own life. EMAILing me is the first step, as phone calls are difficult to return with my daily schedule. I will email back as best I can within 24 hours.
I offer early morning hours and help receiving out-of-network insurance benefits reimbursement if you are self-pay by choice not to use your insurance, or have something not on my list.
Lets navigate your challenges together, with hope.

Before I become a therapist I did peer support at CSAC in Middlebury. Being a peer, and acknowledged as an expert at having mental health challenges myself, meant I never acquired that 'clinical gaze.' My Open Dialogue work did the same thing - I walk WITH you. I'm not the boss.

I offer Vermont women psychotherapy, counseling and coaching to address the challenging, and sometimes conflicting, emotions of change in their lives. Change can be either chosen or thrust upon you but in all cases change requires adjustments to mindset and action - the way you think and what you do.

You leave your very first session with something in hand. My primary ways to start clients is with cognitive reframing, to see how sometimes your own thoughts take you down, and Dialectical Behaviors Therapy (DBT) skills, to learn to set boundaries and self-advocate.
