Attachment-based Therapists in Vermont

I am currently not accepting new clients. We all have our own path to walk and challenges to face, but we don’t need to be alone on our journey to meet challenges, heal and grow. I believe in the power of a therapist/client relationship based on non-judgment, trust, openness, compassion and support. I work to create a safe space where the client can feel safe to discuss their experience. My approach comes from a humanistic, person-centered, psycho-dynamic perspective incorporating techniques from Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neuroscience, Compassion Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I am a licensed clinical social worker. My online practice is with adults, couples and families of all kinds, including lgbtqia and folx who practice polyamory or ENM. I have a great deal experience with individuals, couples and families who are undergoing a transition: marriage, coming out as an lgbtq person, birth, divorce or separation, chronic illness or disability or loss. Using a client centered, empowerment approach, I utilize traditional "talk therapy" I emphasize the relational aspect of therapy, providing a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere for clients to explore their concerns as they move towards healing and growth.

Welcome! For some, entering therapy occurs upon recognizing behavioral patterns that are consciously maladaptive, yet difficult to improve. In our work, you can expect treatment to be tailored according to your presenting concerns, personal history, attachment style, core values, and long-term goals. In session, clients can begin to analyze self-states, such as: What is this bodily sensation pushing for me to do? Is it serving me in any way? How is this emotion leading to self-sabotaging behavior? Is there a way to convey my needs that is more effective? What successes can I celebrate...?

Welcome! My practice focuses on supporting new Mom’s, parents, couples and individuals navigating the dating world. I’m also trained and certified in grief and loss and have experience supporting people moving through neonatal, newborn or child loss, loss of a parent, spouse, life partner or pet. I also have some experience in treating those moving through a diagnosis of prolonged grief. In addition, I have a special interest in supporting individuals and couples with ADHD and especially navigating ADHD within a relationship and I enjoy supporting folks around navigating the complexities of open and polyamorous relationships.

Life is complicated. Our history, experiences and trauma affect not only who we are but also how we interact with the world. Whether you are struggling with childhood memories, recent trauma or simply trying to find solutions to balance out life, we can process them together. Therapy is about going deep, processing the wounds that affect us and integrating them into our current selves in order to live productively and meaningfully in the world.

Everyone has the capacity to grow and to heal. It's easy to get stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, limit our perspective and perpetuate suffering. I'd like to help you explore what you need to gain resilience, to discover joy. I'm a good active listener with a big heart. My art background and compassion practice inform all I do. In therapy, we'll look at the larger picture together: notice the patterns and the narratives you've created about them, the self-judgments, the emotions that can (but don't need to) run the show, the places you feel stuck. My practice is client-centered. I honor you and your self-expertise.

The development of a gentle curiosity of one's internal experience becomes the basis for compassion and authentic expression.

When life situations feel complex, heavy, or confusing it is helpful to reach out for an assist.

Every one of us is capable of deeply shifting our experience to ultimately live the life we most want. While life events can take us off track, the way we meet those unfolding moments creates our path. Too often we harden, and as we armor ourselves we become cut off from our own extraordinary inner healing capacities. Habitual thoughts and behaviors manifest in response to painful and difficult experiences, clouding our ability to truly see without constraint. We all have the ability to cut through those clouds, to feel more awake and alive, and to become the best version of ourselves.

I have limited availability for a few new clients. Sometimes we may feel stuck. Sometimes life can become overwhelming. Sometimes we have deep emotional wounds that have long limited our ability to experience peace, joy, fulfillment, connection, and love. Sometimes we just need someone to listen, be supportive, and offer another perspective. According to Kristin Neff, "The only way to eventually free ourselves from debilitating pain is to be with it as it is. The only way out is through." I hope to offer you this space to alleviate suffering and increase self-compassion, in order to help you more effectively manage life's stressors.

I am a family and marriage therapist licensed in Vermont with over 8 years of experience working as Marriage and Family counselor. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and various family therapy models. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Many people seek therapy as a way to ease and support major life transitions, relationship ruptures, or other difficult experiences. Sometimes it's even hard to appreciate the positive things and feel satisfied with a "good enough life."

I believe in everyone's innate capacity to heal. Everyone deserves a safe and supportive therapeutic environment which can allow one to connect to all parts of oneself and lead to a greater capacity for self awareness and self compassion. Creating this space of safety, trust and unconditional regard for my client guides all my interactions and interventions. We will work collaboratively to explore how your family history, life experiences and current stressors contribute to the issues that bring you to therapy so that you can begin to shift unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behavior that are holding you back in life.

As a doctoral-level psychologist, certified creativity coach, and visual artist, I bring a unique blend of skills and over 25 years of experience helping individuals create more vibrant and fulfilling lives. By cultivating awareness and getting to know ourselves deeply, we are freed up to live the life we choose rather than being held hostage to depression, anxiety, fear, and old patterns that no longer serve us. Working from an integrative, collaborative orientation, I support clients in translating insight into action to make positive changes in their lives and relationships.

I see individuals and couples who are looking to lead more loving connected lives. I assist couples to resolve long standing, repetitive conflict cycles using a method called Dialogue Therapy (DT). DT is a structured, time limited, and clear method using mindfulness and curiosity to help decrease cycles of frustration, anger, and shame between the couple. This helps to increase empathy, intimacy, and closeness. My ideal client is interested in deepening their connection to themselves and others. I am licensed in Vermont and California and can see individuals and couples in either location.
