Therapists in Saint Albans, VT

My motto is: "LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE". I have worked in the Mental Health field across many settings and with all age groups. As the years pass and my experience deepens, I find that my approach is leaning more and more towards Positive Psychology. While I am skilled and knowledgeable about how to help solve problems, work through issues and reduce symptoms, I also feel that it is my job to help people to access the strengths and assets that they already have or can develop to help them towards healing. I am currently certified as an EMDR Practicioner.

I like to start by building trust and finding out what goals you want to set for yourself. A safe, encouraging atmosphere with no authoritarian or shaming attitudes is important. Humor is useful with couples, families or teens. Role-plays are a fun way to practice new relationship skills.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or loved one can be a difficult task. A true "Master" of the healing arts is one who has spent years learning, practicing, and refining their skills as a healer. Individuals, couples and families first entering into the therapeutic relationship often feel overwhelmed, confused, anxious and vulnerable. They need to feel safe by knowing that they are truly being heard and respected. They also need to trust that their therapist has sufficient experience to patiently guide them thru the process of self discovery on their path to wellness and feeling whole, perhaps for the first time in their life.

I have experience working with a diverse population of people within varied settings. My background in the areas of mental health, domestic and sexual violence, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders allows me to be confident in providing the best treatment approaches for the individual. My therapeutic approach is client centered on why a person is entering therapy and what they need and want to achieve. I believe in working with the whole person integrating a holistic approach into therapy.

Telehealth Only at this time I have been lucky to spend the last ten years helping children and families facing a diverse range of life challenges, including anxiety, school challenges, adoption, foster care, trauma and grief and loss. I have worked in schools, community mental health, and intensive home based services. I deeply believe in the healing power of relationships in children's lives. I do everything I can to support family relationships and to build a strong, trusting relationship during the treatment process. I believe that learning and healing best happen when children feel safe, cared for and are having fun.

I wish to serve as a guide for my clients on their own journey towards self-discovery.

By using person-centered counseling, I am able to help my clients discover their authentic selves. I wish to help reduce anxiety and aid my clients in developing a positive self-image for themselves. I am interested in learning and understanding my clients’ self-perceptions and view of their own reality. My belief is that our worth is conditioned by others and this often can be detrimental to our mental health.

Regardless of what you've been through in the past, I believe anyone can benefit from talking to a mental health professional. Collaborating with a counselor can help provide thought provoking insights, allow you to move through problem solving more quickly, and leave you feeling more fulfilled and motivated to reach your desired goals.

I am passionate about helping people grow. I work with a variety of ages. I find family therapy to be very valuable work andI believe that people can grow throughout their lives. If you are a parent struggling with a teen, or an adult struggling in relationships, I believe that psychotherapy can help.
