""You made it easier than I thought it would be. I felt so comfortable working with you." That's the kind of feedback I get most often from my clients, and it reflects my approach to counseling. My therapeutic approach is based in mindfulness, a way of seeing one's self and one's world with greater awareness, compassion, and gratitude. By shifting from judgement to curiosity, we can release the thoughts and habits that no longer serve us, and replace them with new ways of being in the world, ways that increase our experience of joy, ease, and fulfillment."

"I value an integrative approach to clinical work with children, adolescents, and families. I enjoy partnering with clients to identify strengths, create personal goals, and challenge perceived barriers to making change. I have experience with clients of varied age groups and presenting issues, including: anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, anger management, adoption, family conflict, parenting issues, emotion regulation, coping skills, and social awareness/understanding skills."

"The goal of my practice is to help reduce suffering and to increase capacity for joy, flexibility, and life fulfillment. I individualize my approach to your needs using a mix of different psychological approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, narrative and psychodynamic. I am a Vermont licensed doctoral-level psychologist who trained in health psychology at the Minneapolis VA Hospital, and engaged in postdoctoral study in behavioral medicine at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. I worked for many years at the Hazelden Center, a nationally-recognized leader in addiction treatment, and gained additional experience working with adolescents as a high school counselor and wellness teacher."

"Do you want to feel more connected to yourself and others? Life often brings challenges, conflict and problems. Problems are a part of life. It is how we handle a problem that makes all the difference. Counseling may help you discover new solutions to old problems. (My web site: http://wellnessmindandbody.org). I work with individuals and couples to help them cope better with stress,to ease anxiety and depression,and to improve relationships. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive environment and I offer acceptance and my caring presence as you discover your path towards transformation, healing & well-being."

"Deciding to seek treatment from a psychotherapist is always a significant moment. It often comes with doubt, fear, and pain but the decision is also an expression of hope and determination. You are as different from anyone else as your fingerprint. Your history, likes, dislikes, dreams, memories, fears, strengths and challenges are unlike anyone else's. Your symptoms are outward signs of inner turmoil and is my belief that in order for relief of symptoms to be more permanent in-depth work is the most effective method."

"Wounds leave scars. The internal wounds can sometimes be the hardest to heal. A therapist who builds trust and relationship through validation, mindfulness, awareness, and honesty can help. Using an attachment based perspective, I will walk through your pain with you. Relationship is essential to any successful therapy experience, and I focus on building rapport, trust and understanding, not only between myself and my client, but their own understanding of themselves, what is happening, and why. Facing our own inner truth can be one of the most difficult and frightening experiences of our lives. It can also be the most rewarding."

"Psychoanalytic work is an intensive therapy that focuses on increasing self-understanding. The work involves an in-depth exploration of a person's past and present, including memories, fantasies, dreams, thoughts etc. The work can be slow and at times painful but also transformative, resulting in a profound sense of personal freedom."

"As a Licensed Psychologist-Doctorate, I am dedicated to helping individuals address current challenges and long-standing issues through enhanced awareness of themselves and others. I have expertise in working with problems related to substance use. I also work extensively with people struggling with a variety of difficulties including anxiety and depression, relationships, employment, and school problems. Whether you are going through a difficult period or experiencing more pervasive, high risk symptoms, I am available to discuss treatment. I am also available for consultation purposes - someone to speak with for assistance in navigating the often confusing mental health system."

"I offer a safe and welcoming space to share your story. Sometimes, problems we face -- whether they come with a diagnosis or not -- may be overwhelming, debilitating, paralyzing, unhealthy, or destructive to ourselves or our relationships. I aim to help people deconstruct and free themselves from the grip of problems that may be overwhelming and oppressive and move toward empowerment and authenticity."

"I believe that metaphor is the carrier of deep truths about the self, and the door to meaning and growth. As a therapist, I listen for metaphor in verbal and non-verbal interactions with clients. I was trained in Expressive Therapy and also use a developmental approach. I am also fully trained in EMDR. I base all of my work with children, teens, families, and adults in a grounding in normal development, taking into account developmental stages as I look at issues and problems presented. Helping clients identify and clarify their own belief or value systems is an important skill."

"I am an experienced clinician that has worked with children, adolescents and adults. My focus is with women who are struggling during pregnancy, postpartum, or at any point in their parenting journey. These struggles could include anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. I am skilled in working with parents/caregivers who are looking to improve their relationship with their child and helping parents/caregivers who are looking to better understand and respond to their child. I want to help relieve anxiety, stress, and feelings of depression so that women can feel understood and find strategies for moving forward."

"Helping my clients find more energy, hope, motivation, clarity, and calm in their daily lives is what I strive for as a therapist and wellness coach. What matters to me in my work is to build rapport and develop individualized, collaborative relationships that examines and addresses various areas of our life, with the understanding that improvement is always possible."

"If you are an individual that is motivated, desiring change and healing, or just seeking a good mental health checkup knowing you are on the path you embrace, you will find a good fit with me. My style is compassionate but direct. Do you appreciate openness, straightforward communication, thoughtful questions, humor, and building a strong working relationship? I will be supportive and challenge you to be the best you. I will offer a deep understanding with human life struggles especially trauma, grief, and tragedy. Every part of self is important: emotional, intellectual, psychological and spiritual. A safe space is created."

"Approach to treatment focuses on the client's current life situation, bringing attention to the 'here-and-now,' while also supporting clients in understanding the root of their behaviors, thought processes, and patterns, by exploring the first formative years of one's life. I specialize in working with highly sensitive individuals, as well as working somatically to help the body heal from trauma and come back into balance. I believe that our natural rhythm is healing and as we let go of stress and trauma, we regain vitality and health."

"Clients come to me with a wide variety of different challenges such as : losing a loved one, facing the loneliness and self doubt that can get triggered in intimate relationships, struggling with the disappointments & conflicts that arise at work, trying to untangle the confusions of parenting, dealing with the chronic physical and emotional pain of a debilitating illness, and, handling the bullying tactics that may crop up in personal and work relationships."

"If you are in emotional pain--perhaps struggling with relationships, identity, or work--I can help you understand what you need to resolve in order to move forward with greater freedom and flexibility. I will be interested in your particular strengths and how you have made sense of your dilemmas, as well as in beliefs and feelings which may be outside of awareness and yet affecting your experience. Your dreams may be helpful to this work. I offer direction, insight, and support as you learn to free yourself from old patterns and practice new ways of being in the world."

"I work with both couples and individuals who are feeling distressed, sad, confused, anxious, bored, empty, or not at their best. My approach to therapy is committed, transparent and collaborative. I draw on the expertise and knowledge that you, the client, bring to the table. I will listen to you without judging, and help you identify your challenges, strengthen your coping skills, and achieve your goals. If you have a specific issue you need help dealing with, but for some reason cannot commit to extended therapy, I also offer brief therapy, 1 to 5 sessions."

"I aim to co-create the conditions for waking up and realizing the beauty and radiant Life that you already are. In the midst of your current suffering from past traumatic events and/or addictions this may seem like an impossible or distant dream. I am Somatic Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Practitioner.
