I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Vermont. I received my undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Philosophy from Gettysburg College in 2008. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2016. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a victim advocate and I was able to experience firsthand the devastating effects of traumatic experiences. I am uniquely qualified to participate in criminal and family court proceedings. I work closely with our community's resources to ensure that every child/family receives wraparound services.

I specialize in mind/body problems, sleep disorders, anger management, chronic pain, smoking cessation, weight loss and behavioral medicine. I do primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnotherapy. I am no longer accepting new patients with chronic mental illness. I am focusing on short term therapy as I move towards retirement. My website can be used to purchase customized hypnotherapy recordings to help you quit smoking. There are many details of the smoking cessation program on the website.

I offer an integrative private therapy practice combining expressive art therapy and or traditional talk therapy. Art Therapy is based on self-exploration through the creative process. Using expressive therapies in conjunction with talk therapy and mindfulness-based techniques allows individuals and couples to deepen connection, and to tap into your innate intuitive wisdom which can help you to heal, thrive and grow. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive services that are inclusive, and give voice to our communities varied experiences by providing a safe place to be heard, appreciated, and accepted.

In addition, I specialize in issues of depression, anxiety, life transitions, PTSD and trauma with adults.

Do you feel alone and stressed when facing today’s life challenges? Are you experiencing conflict with a boss or coworker? Are you a healthcare professional that questions whether you’ll continue working in this high-acuity and demanding care environment? Did you recently graduate college only to experience that your clinical rotations at school in no way match the fast-paced real world? As you’ve learned, entering the workforce and finding a place of balance is not taught in school. Are you seeking that balance in your life but struggling with how to get there?

I am Certified in EMDR, with a strong interest in finding the right therapeutic approach to help individuals and couples become unstuck, find a sense of balance and well-being, and be able to enjoy life. EMDR is one of the powerful therapeutic tools I have to offer that allows people to work through issues in ways that surprise and free them. I work with adults and older adults coping with PTSD, depression and mood disorders, grief, loss, anxiety disorders, life changes and challenges, and relationship issues. These are treatable problems that can get better.

One of life’s greatest challenges is beginning the healing journey. An effective therapeutic alliance is built on trust, honesty and compassion. With this, together, we can explore pain, stress, and challenge that has been impacting your life.

My approach focuses on warmth, respect, and the strengths of the person with whom I am working. What matters to me is helping people find the resources they need to make the changes they want to see in their lives, starting from the inside. I work from a trauma-informed consciousness, supported by awareness of the effects of toxic stress on the body and nervous system. I work with adults, adolescents, and children.

Hi! I'm Asa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I have experience working with adolescents, adults, geriatrics and Veterans'. I work with people who are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD and substance abuse disorders among other things. I also have extensive training and experience with grief and loss and working with those suffering from chronic/terminal illness. I believe that everyone has unique strengths which can help them succeed in life and overcome obstacles that may come their way. Sometimes you need help to identify these strengths and utilize them in the most effective way.

Learn to listen to your mind and grow to understand your emotional world. Together we will explore your brain's ability to protect you from the discomforts of early and current life experiences. The path to a more fulfilling life is through learning to communication with your inner self. Personal happiness depends upon being mindfully aware of your needs and how to fulfill them - make peace with your past and find contentment in your present. Learn to accept and care for yourself, and hold on to that precious gift of life. I am here to support your emotional journey. It is time to embrace life with dignity and love.

My goal for you as my client is to fully hear what your needs are, address those needs in a solutions-focused way and have you leave my office feeling that you are supported, understood and that you have gained insights and tools.

[October Notice: I will be on Maternity Leave for the remainder of 2020, with plans to return to my practice in January 2021.] Reaching out for support can be a scary thing and I applaud you for taking the first step. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, worry, low self-esteem, depression, or an eating disorder, I am eager to become a support to you. I will work with you to better understand and manage your emotions, become more aware of your thought patterns, and learn more effective coping skills to improve your life. I want to empower you to make the desired changes to begin living the life you want to live.

Update 10/9/20: My practice is full and I am not taking any new clients. My apologies. Please check back here in early Nov 2020 or feel free to email me your contact information and days/times that you are available for sessions. Thank you and be well.

I provide a specialized and intensive treatment which is suitable for a wide range of common mental health problems. I’m also trained to work with medically unexplained symptoms and people who’ve had multiple failed treatments. Because of the intensity and depth of the treatment I provide, you'll likely experience symptom relief faster than usual, and the depth of the work gets at the core of the problem leading to lasting relief. It’s not enough to just make the symptoms go away - we seek to understand why you have them in the first place so that in the future, post-therapy, the symptoms don't come back.

I strongly believe that each of my clients is the expert on their own life and experiences -- while acknowledging that all of us have times where we can feel like anything but that! Whether you are seeking therapy out of a desire for self-care, self-improvement, or self-discovery, I would welcome the chance to work with you. My role is not to provide advice or to tell you how things are, but to aid you and support you in exploring your own mind and feelings as we work towards your goals. We cannot change the past, but we can find new ways to relate to it, and in doing so, shape our future into whatever we want it to be.

People come to me exhausted. They may have read a mountain of self-help or even tried therapy without seeing benefit, may fear that their situation will never improve. I help them discover how to change their thoughts, their brains, their lives.

We’ve all been stuck in a rut before. Sometimes we don’t even know how we ended up there. What we do know is that we find ourselves consistently frustrated with the same problems or the same people, having the same unproductive conversation or argument over and over again. It’s stressful and exhausting and sometimes it makes us want to give up. If you are longing to feel like "yourself" again, I can help you create space for shifts in the patterns that make you feel stuck. Most of the time, these patterns started off serving an important and positive purpose, but have likely outlasted their initial use.
