Therapists Beginning With E in Vermont
Navigating the challenges and complexities of everyday life can be painful. Anxiety, depression and stress—often stemming from relationship or financial difficulties—can leave us feeling alone, overwhelmed and uncertain about how to move forward. Having a safe, supportive space to explore options and discover what works best for you can make a significant difference in overall well-being and quality of life. In my work, I take a strengths-based, postmodern approach, fostering a compassionate and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that encourages growth through the thoughtful integration of diverse therapeutic methods.

My work has been in schools, homes and psychiatric hospital settings. Along the way, I learned tools for emotional regulation, improved communication and positive perspective taking that I would like to share with you. With some practice, you can improve your outlook, routines, and the quality of your connections to others.

Hello! Your therapeutic needs are specific to you as an individual. If you’re currently dealing with any substance use such as alcohol, opioids, marijuana, or any thing else, this is a safe space for you. If you’re looking to cut down, limit your use, or even stop all together, this is a safe space for you. I’m also comfortable with other forms of process addictions such as: gambling, video games, social media and internet use. Whether you’re looking to set short term or long term goals, we can design a treatment plan that works for you. I believe we all possess our own answers to what can help serve us best.

I'd like to help support you. I often work with people who are entering new life stages: having kids, changing jobs, finishing school, getting married, leaving relationships, or learning to set boundaries. I believe that therapy should feel encouraging, equip you with the skills and confidence you need, and support you in being yourself—whatever that means for you. Maybe you’re feeling worn down by some old struggles and are ready to move on from them. Maybe you’re trying to get used to a whole new set of challenges. Maybe you’re feeling totally lost in the woods. I’d like to help you find your way through.

We want to feel safe, secure and connected to ourselves, our families/friends and our communities. Obstacles to doing so can include circumstances outside of our control and also the results of our own learned patterns and behaviors. Therapy is an integral part of healing past trauma, validating one's thoughts/feelings/emotions, identifying dysfunctional patterns of engagement and learning new skills to cope. Through work with a therapist, it is possible to shape a life and relationships that include confidence, calm and presence that is so often missed in the busyness of society today.

I’m an American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) certified sex therapist with extensive training in infidelity, narcissistic abuse, and antagonistic relational stress. I'm passionate about helping my clients discover their authentic selves. So many of us carry around so much guilt and shame about who we are and what we need to thrive. We spend our lives trying to convince the world that we’re worthy. This makes it impossible to trust our intuition, honor our desires, and show up fully in our relationships!

I’m easygoing, warm, and professional, and I believe that therapy works best when you feel at ease and genuinely cared for.
I am passionate about my work and see therapy as more than a job—it’s a calling. I want to help you feel better, find peace and grow personally.

You deserve to experience a life that is authentic, connected, and rich with meaning. It takes courage to change your story from one of disconnection, struggle, and fear, to one of empowerment, growth, and healing. I work with survivors of sexual trauma, individuals navigating infertility and pregnancy loss, and those carrying the weight of grief in its many forms. I also support individuals dealing with the complex dynamics of parenting, and aging. Whatever you're carrying, I offer a space where it can be named, held, and worked through at your pace.

We've all found ways of surviving in an often chaotic and overwhelming world, but without awareness and compassion for ourselves, we might get mired in those habitual ways of being, unable to see other possibilities very clearly. In my work as a therapist, I help people see more clearly. I believe that healing starts with acceptance and compassion, and that everything else unfolds from there. Through the courageous and compassionate facing of the truth, our natural wisdom is able to emerge and lead the way. This perspective is deeply informed by meditation training and practice, as well as training in trauma and Gestalt therapy.

Are you in a tough spot or struggling? No matter what you are going through, therapy is a valuable place to get support, work towards making a change, and create a better understanding of oneself. I believe that therapy can be a beneficial experience for anyone as it provides a safe space to process feelings/stressors and to be heard and understood. My approach to therapy is grounded in relational theory - focusing on the therapeutic connection between an individual and their therapist - as this is one of the best predictors of progress and improvement over the course of therapy.
