Teletherapy for Vermont

Feeling stuck? Wondering how you got to where you are in life? Relationship issues? Overwhelmed? Sad? Wanting to make a change but don't know where to begin? These are often the concerns my clients bring into therapy. Through our work together, we find the way forward; no issue is too big or too small. Counseling can help and contrary to popular belief, it can be fun and healing at the same time!

My priority as a therapist is to foster a warm, collaborative, confidential environment in which we can focus on the challenges and goals that matter most to you. My therapeutic style is pragmatic. I draw on a range of theoretical and practical traditions, but my core commitment is to understanding you and your experiences from a empathetic and non-judgmental perspective. I have availability during morning and evening hours and on weekends as necessary.

I offer queer/trans, COVID-cautious, neurodivergent and disordered eating inclusive and affirming therapy to inspire your emotional evolution.

I would love to walk beside you on your journey.

Wait listing new clients. Hi, there! I am interested in building our relationship's foundation on trust. I believe client and therapist relationship is the only way to produce positive outcomes.

I am a life coach, counselor with a social work background. I believe in empowerment and the power of resiliency. I work with clients who are going through challenges and I lead them to transformations by listening, affirming and guiding their strengths.
