I'm a clinical psychologist with a private practice in Norwich, Vermont. I work with individuals aged 18 years and older. I am skilled in working with a variety of behavioral health issues including depression, challenging relationships, sexuality, professional and athletic performance, obsessions, compulsions and coping with acute or chronic health problems. I have specialized training in treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and stress. I strive to provide a warm, safe and collaborative relationship.

For over a decade, I’ve worked with individuals in some form of transition or major life change, often with trauma histories not too far below the surface. In each situation, I’ve found the most transformational interactions to be those rooted in both insight and somatic practices so it is a gift to craft a professional life at that precise intersection. Guided by genuine care and warmth, I support clients in gently attuning to the “data” stored in their body as a springboard to better understand, and compassionately respond to, core needs of safety, ease, worth, and authentic connection (with both self and others).

You are worth much more than the things you've experienced or done. Anxiety and depression, anger and shutting down are not what need to define who you are. I can help you live life to the fullest by focusing on your dreams and goals. My practice includes a cuddly toy poodle named Tikvah.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma in individuals of all ages. I work to look under the surface and get to the root cause that is contributing to the symptoms keeping my clients stuck from living a fulfilling life. We will work together to understand what is happening in your brain and body, work through current and past stressors that are contributing to your current symptoms and develop coping strategies to be able to better manage stressors.

There are many reasons to come to therapy. I specialize in issues with mood and trauma. Issues with mood can result in feelings of anxiety, depression, low mood or mood swings. There are different ways that this can play out in life. You may be trying to manage deep painful emotions, outbursts of anger, feelings of emptiness, low motivation, lethargy or restless energy. Mood issues may result in difficulty making decisions, issues relating to others, feeling dependent on others, having difficulty saying no or asking for help, perfectionism, rigidity or black and white thinking. I work with issues relating to high intellect as well.

Have you awakened and are struggling to navigate the 3D world? Do you identify as having an awakened consciousness, an empath, spiritual, a WooWoo or on the Red Road? Are you feeling isolated and disconnected because your vibration has increased and created more challenges in relationships? While on this life's journey, have you realized that you experienced trauma in childhood and don't know how to take the next step to heal these wounds? These experiences could be causing anxiety and depression, deflating your self worth and disrupting your focus and sleep.

Deciding to work with a therapist is an important step. Finding the right therapist can be challenging. My style is one of openness and curiosity, bringing the most current theories and perspectives in psychotherapy to my work with couples and individuals. Continually learning from the explosion of knowledge happening in the world of the body, emotions, and brain, I teach my patients about how the brain works to regulate their emotions. I've trained extensively throughout the past 30 years to incorporate highly effective therapy methods into my clinical practice (described below).

Are you struggling with: effective, respectful communication with your partner; trauma recovery; difficulty setting limits or establishing boundaries; repeating unhealthy patterns of thinking, behavior, or emotion; identifying your needs and getting your needs met; day-to-day state of anxiety, anger, fear, or sadness; a difficult life transition. Have you been in therapy before, but didn’t achieve the change you were hoping for? Somatic Relational Therapy might be for you. We can’t think or talk our way out of trauma. We live in a body, and we experience suffering and trauma in our bodies, and it is through our body that we heal.

I come to my work as a therapist from backgrounds as an artist, hospital oncology chaplain, art professor and activist, meditation teacher, lover of movement, backpacker Dharma bum, essayist, companion of rescue pups, and former Buddhist nun. I've been around the block, tried many things, succeeded and failed, and carried my heart through many of this world's wild, beautiful, boring, terrible, sacred spaces. All of which feels relevant to working with clients who dare to trust their creative and intuitive processes as they come into fierce, tender, inalienable wholeness.

At "Circle Forward" I welcome adults from diverse backgrounds, cultures, experiences, identities & belief systems. I am skilled at supporting people who have been overwhelmed and struggle with "trauma" - unresolved, survival responses (fight, flight, appease & shut down). These natural defensives are essential for dealing with threat. Protective impulses from the past can get stuck & intrude on relationships and on physical, emotional & spiritual rhythms of day-to-day life. I support you to feel safe & allow incomplete survival responses to move slowly & integrate fully. I work online and in Greenfield, MA.

Are you ready to make changes? Are you feeling stuck? Does it feel like the same story in your mind? I am here to help you create a different chapter. I utilize evidence based approached grounded in attachment/internal family sytems based therapy to help you heal your hurts parts and develop tools that help address your situation. I am an attachment focused EMDR therapist. I am authentic, provide feedback, and consider myself an engaged thought partner in your process. I also treat addiction issues as well.
