I'm a licensed and published psychoanalyst (NPAP-New York) and can help you look deeply at the origins of your pain, conflicts and confusion so you can experience more peace and satisfaction with yourself, your relationships and your work.

I will listen deeply, and provide insight, direction and support to help you recognize and overcome self defeating patterns and build on your particular strengths.

Psychotherapy is very rewarding and challenging work. Anyone seeking to make themselves healthier needs to know that and be open to change. Despite how difficult it is to work through the issues that disrupt our lives, the reward is learning that life is a process worth living and improving on a continuous basis. I treat people with trauma issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, career moves, family issues, OCD, addictive behaviors, relationship problems and interpersonal unhappiness often beginning with providing psycho-educational information such as personal boundaries, basic human rights, safety, and coping and advocacy skills.

I'm a Swiss-trained Jungian Analyst (www.jungiananalystvt.com) who views the analytic encounter as a deep and soulful collaboration within which we examine the origins, patterns and futility of disruptive unconscious complexes and behaviors while working to strengthen the soul's authentic, meaning-making, imaginative capability - what James Hillman termed the "poetic basis of mind". To facilitate this process, I aspire to create an environment of trust and confidence in which we engage the psyche, where one's inner world of thoughts, feelings, images, fantasies & dreams can be fully expressed, explored and reflected upon with compassion & without judgment.

I conceptualize therapy as a collaborative process in which therapist and client determine treatment content and goals, working to create an environment of compassion, challenge and insight capable of motivating those disruptive changes which constitute so much of the meaning of therapy. In attempting to individualize treatment, I cultivate an integrative responsiveness utilizing those techniques that seem best able to serve the client's needs and promote therapeutic goals. Often these goals extend beyond symptom relief to include the enhancement of psychological capacities and resources through self exploration and discovery in the context of a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship.

I am not your typical therapist; I blend psychotherapy with spirituality. I am passionate about the exploration and evolution of human consciousness. I believe that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. My focus is on working with intentionality to facilitate the merging of consciousness and energy as a tool for healing, personal transformation, better quality of life and fulfilling relationships . I work with mature individuals who are asking " who am I really?"; are committed to meeting and transforming their shadow self, understand and uphold universal laws and long to liberate their spiritual Being .

I approach therapy through creating a safe and supportive space in which a strong therapeutic relationship can form. Through a genuine partnership I support clients to identify meaningful goals. Working together we can grow to a better understanding of unhelpful life patterns, both inside and out, that leave one feeling distressed and unfulfilled. I use a holistic approach that draws upon a broad array of therapeutic resources depending upon what best suits your particular needs and situation. Clients are able to cultivate strengths and helpful skills along this therapeutic journey that help to improve identified difficulties.

A neuropsychological evaluation can provide valuable information regarding an individual's current and future cognitive functioning. My work involves the assessment of cognition across a wide span of central nervous system disorders including neurodegenerative conditions (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's dementia), traumatic brain injury (TBI), substance abuse, epilepsy, and neurotoxin exposure. Importantly, my specialty examines the relationship between brain disease and cognition while differentiating the contribution of psychological factors such as depression or anxiety. I also perform medicolegal independent examinations.

My work as a therapist is to help people live fulfilling lives in which they enjoy satisfying relationships, do their best work, and develop a deeper awareness and curiosity about their inner emotional experiences. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is essential to facilitating honest and open self-discovery. It serves as a lens through which relationship patterns and emotional experiences can be explored in a unique way. This approach to therapy generates long-term improvements for people suffering from depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and the effects of trauma.

My background in psychotherapy, nursing and life coaching brings a progressive approach to self-healing. Using a myriad of techniques ranging from hypnotherapy, EMDR, Reiki and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, I work with individuals and families to identify personal strengths locked behind negative energy. As a motivational speaker with a master's in clinical psychology, I work to empower others to discover their truth, harmonize personal healing and define a positive pathway to life-long happiness.

*I am at capacity and am NOT accepting new referrals at this time* Through my work as a therapist, I accompany people on a journey of self-discovery that fosters healing, promotes growth, and empowers them to overcome obstacles and challenges that stand in the way of leading fulfilling lives. I believe that an open, honest and collaborative relationship is the foundation of the therapeutic process. I work with my clients to cultivate genuine trust and rapport that makes this relationship possible.

I have experience with a diversity of issues including anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. I am a trained depth psychotherapist (Jungian-oriented), and am concerned with addressing symptoms at their root cause. I balance this approach by offering avenues of relief from symptoms in the present. Easing the burden of suffering in the here-and-now allows us to engage more fully with the work of addressing original causes, and thereby contributes to long-term resolution.

Whether your problem is the result of a crisis or a pattern of self-destructive behavior, your ability to cope is impacted by your personal strengths. My first goal is to meet you where you are, listen to your story, and focus on the way your past shapes the way you deal with challenges in the present.
