Teletherapy for Vermont

I currently have online individual sessions and some limited in person sessions available. Openings range between 9am and 6:30pm. I work collaboratively with clients to process where they are in life, evaluate what their current needs are, and identify what in their past and present could be addressed to make changes towards identified goals. I believe the therapeutic process can only work with dedication and the willingness to allow change. I work with my clients to identify ways that they can bring what we process in session into their everyday life so they have something to work on in between session.

It's your life. It's important. Figuring things out for yourself doesn't mean you must do it alone. Therapy helps reconnect to fundamentals, grow from pain, and cultivate wellness. Your therapist is your partner on the journey. We help you build pathways, forge deeper connections, build relationships, and live authentically. We tune into the core of the matter and acknowledge the impacts of your history and society.

Psychoanalytic work is an intensive therapy that focuses on increasing self-understanding and a sense of personal freedom. It is very helpful for anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues, trauma and managing grief around life transitions.

I currently have a waitlist, but please inquire if you would like to be added to it. I hold an LICSW in VT with about ten years of experience supporting people across the lifespan.

I believe it is important to work together to address changes in the patient and families, if needed, to create a positive outcome so the patient and their family can live a healthier and fulfilling life.

I believe everyone deserves a judgement-free space to discover and explore all they are. I provide an eclectic client-centered approach to therapy that is deeply rooted in feministic theory and strengths-based approaches. I help (re)build self-worth, empower, and guide you to your true self. I do not believe in "fixing" anyone as people do not truly break, they just open new doors. I encourage looking at life from various perspectives in order to fully understand how you can grow and become who you desire to be. Please be aware we are a fragrance friendly office. If this is an issue, let me know PRIOR to scheduling.

Therapy is a collaborative journey of self discovery and integration. Its aim is wholeness. I draw on a variety of therapeutic frameworks to meet individuals where they are at and help them identify strengths and areas of growth in their life. Together we look at how thoughts, feelings and beliefs intersect with our life transitions and relational patterns and how they contribute to our sense of well being, or misalignment. By uncovering the needs under our feelings, we learn to take personal responsibility for expressing ourselves accurately and authentically, allowing us to feel heard, valued and understood.

In my work with individuals, families, and couples, I embody a supportive and accepting approach with the notion that every person has the capacity to grow even when facing challenges along the way. I am aware that for some, therapy can be threatening and uncomfortable to even consider, so I strive to create an atmosphere that is safe, comfortable and authentic. I truly believe in the positive influence of conversations that promote self-reflection, critical thinking and alternative perspectives to discover and enhance untapped skills and tools which can increase life satisfaction.

I have been in the field of Counseling for 30 + years. I have taught at universities, conducted research, written books, and presented workshops .

My clients find validation in having a provider who understands and acknowledges the difficulties that arise from experiencing marginalization. I have been in the field for over 20 years and have found that my skills are most effective in working with people who hold marginalized identities as well as community activists.

Many of us are struggling to navigate the vast changes in the world around us in addition to typical day to day concerns.
