Let's Connect (802) 896-8247

I work with individuals and families navigating challenges such as developmental trauma, adoption-related experiences, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and depression. I am drawn to working with clients who are curious about how their past experiences shape their present, open to deepening their emotional regulation skills, and interested in building more authentic connections with themselves and others. They value a collaborative space with intentional pacing, where they can explore their needs, develop meaningful insight, and work toward lasting, transformative change.

My approach is grounded in attachment and developmental frameworks, helping clients understand how early experiences shape present-day emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I draw from therapeutic models that value the wisdom of relationships and focus on strengthening your inner resources, so you can move through challenges with greater self-awareness.

Seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially for those with relational or developmental trauma. With warmth, collaboration, and a trauma-informed approach, I honor each client’s lived experience. When you're ready, I invite you to reach out. It would be a privilege to support you in your therapeutic process.

I work with clients across the lifespan, including family therapy sessions when indicated with parents/caregivers when children are under 15 years-old . Treatment typically involves building insight, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships. Over time, many people notice greater resilience, clearer communication, and deeper connections within themselves and their families.
