Hate therapy? I get it. If you are missing out on a sense of peace or feel like you'll burst if something doesn't change soon, however, then it’s worth it to invest in yourself through therapy. Concerns I work with most are: ​men’s issues (i.e. intimacy), codependency, life transitions (i.e. college, divorce), anxiety, substance use disorders, self esteem/empowerment. No matter what your concern, I'm committed to not pathologizing people. You are not broken! I tailor sophisticated treatment modalities to your needs and pride myself in being present with you during our sessions.

My work is focused on helping your nervous system and inner child repair itself after trauma. I have witnessed many of clients alleviate long-standing struggles/challenges related to Complex PTSD, unresolved childhood trauma, and related addiction issues by working in this way. Through my group practice, Counseling Without Walls (CWW), I offer integrative trauma therapy focusing on EMDR in VT, NY, CA, IA, MA, ME & worldwide as laws allow in intensive/extended session formats. If my caseload is full, I can refer you to one of the other therapists working in CWW for hourly therapy.

I want you to know that you can do this, you have the key to creating your own change. I approach my therapeutic work with the idea that the efforts to support mental health are equally as important to the priority we have for our physical health. My focus is on your needs and wants, this is about you and what you are looking to achieve in your own life and within counseling. My hopes are that my approach will allow you to feel calm and safe in session, that you can be your most honest and genuine self, that you feel respected, understood, and heard.

Do you wake up in the night thinking about your life experiences, wondering what happened or how you could have achieved a different outcome? Do these stories leave you feeling your grief and possible trauma, remorse, anger, fear, or loneliness? Are you willing to delve deeply into who you truly are and into what makes you uniquely you? Whatever your life journey, there is a path to understanding who you are, holding your stories with compassion & an evolving self-awareness. It is possible to tenderly reshape even the hardest stories while coming to understand their significance. You can claim authority over your life & find peace.

I practice Person-Centered, Holistic and Emotion Focused Therapy. This means, in simplest terms, that I will work with you as a close, caring partner as you discover and nurture your own inner ability to grow and heal. For many folks, life has been stressful and challenging over the last few years. Sometimes it seems as if illnesses, disappointments, grief, old habits, ruts and responsibilities are derailing us. We are exhausted from fighting the same old problems. Maybe we have taken care of everyone else, and now we need to reclaim our passion and purpose. It can be difficult to take on this task by ourselves.

How do you choose a counselor? If you are an adult, and have decided you are motivated to make changes, reach out to me. Clients often tell me they come to me because they feel an (intuitive) pull to do so, while others seek a type of therapy offered such as cognitive behavioral therapy, and others for a specialty focus . People often feel stuck, off-balance, and in emotional pain (sad, stressed, anxious, frustrated, overwhelmed). We talk about what is happening now, how you behave that contributes, what you want, and what you can do. Now a meeting option telehealth; online, HIPAA compliant.
