Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like you’re carrying everything on your own? You might be navigating past experiences, relationship challenges, or the everyday pressures of work, parenthood, and life in general. You want to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected with yourself. Therapy gives you a safe space to explore your feelings and patterns, understand your reactions, develop practical tools, and build lasting confidence, balance, and well-being that fits your life.
I help people get to know different parts of themselves, work through past experiences, and build practical tools to feel more grounded and confident. Using evidence-based approaches, we create a supportive, collaborative space for personal growth and lasting change.
Starting therapy is a big step, and finding the right fit matters. I provide a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings, challenges, and goals without judgment. I offer in-person and virtual sessions in Vermont and Massachusetts. I look forward to connecting with you! Please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit!
