I’m currently accepting new Telehealth clients who live in Massachusetts or Vermont. Contact Info: I reply to all emails, so please note that replies to Psychology Today inquiries sometimes go to spam folders. In your inquiry email, please include your insurance provider (I accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Medicaid, MVP or self-pay) and week or weekend days that work best for you between 11 AM and 7 PM. Who I Work With: I work primarily with adults and couples.

My Philosophy: Your/my/our worth is equal and inherent. We hold pain (emotional or physical) because we’re unwilling to feel it completely and it can’t metabolize out of the body. Pain disappears when we pay attention to it.
Experience: Prior to private practice, I worked at UVM Medical Center and Northwestern Counseling and Support Services. I am a certified yoga instructor, former NCAA athlete and returned Peace Corps volunteer.
