Therapists in Burlington, VT

My practice is currently full and I'm unable to respond to referrals. I believe the foundation for effective therapy is a trusting and empathic relationship. With my guidance, clients develop insight to their thinking and behavior patterns in order to make space for change. I work collaboratively with clients to develop a plan and empower them to follow through on change. My approach incorporates mindfulness and behaviorally based interventions.

I have experience with a diversity of issues including anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. I am a trained depth psychotherapist (Jungian-oriented), and am concerned with addressing symptoms at their root cause. I balance this approach by offering avenues of relief from symptoms in the present. Easing the burden of suffering in the here-and-now allows us to engage more fully with the work of addressing original causes, and thereby contributes to long-term resolution.

People come to therapy for many reasons, sometimes it’s an unexpected or painful transition, other times it might be conflict in important relationships. Often, people have tried to help themselves feel better, and are unsure of where to go next. Regardless of the reason you are seeking help, you are likely looking for relief from pain or suffering. I’m glad you’ve taken this important first step. My role is to offer you a warm and non-judgmental space to process life’s complexities and create meaningful change.

I have been working with individuals, couples and supervisees for over 35 years. My clinical experience and training is diverse and my approach is eclectic, adapting to the unique needs of each individual. My background is psychodynamic. I worked in a community mental health setting for over 10 years before settling into my current private practice. My practice is limited to telehealth at this time. In addition to individual clients and couples I offer clinical supervision for other licensed professionals in private practice.

I am a licensed therapist working with adults and specializing in anxiety, ADHD/neurodivergence, depression, and people with legal involvement and/or prior incarceration. I also often work with college students. Together, we process life experiences, help you gain a better understanding of yourself, and gaining skills to minimize symptoms and improve your overall wellbeing, however you define it. Specifically with ADHD/neurodivergence, I support people in better understanding how their brain works, and improve functioning, and help them feel like they're enough just as they are.

I individualize treatment to fit each of my client's needs. My approach is gentle and caring while still being direct and honest through the healing process. My warmth and genuine caring nature as well as my enthusiasm for each individual allows me to build a trusting, deep connection in therapy. It is my goal to help individuals find their strengths through this safe alliance, to begin to heal and transform their lives.

We share a universal humanness as we agonize over decisions, struggle with isolation, endure losses, & seek meaning in life. I believe this fundamental connection is at the root of all healing. You yearn for compassionate listening & an empathetic personal engagement in your journey towards positive self-discovery. I want to help you find the freedom to generate new ways of thinking, feeling & acting: to transform unhelpful personal narratives into strength-based versions you can use to flourish. Adult or child, you are uniquely beautiful & vulnerable. Through talk or play, we'll explore how you can live more comfortably as both.

I'm interested in helping clients gain a better understanding of their relationship with themselves and to others within their lives. I believe human connection is essential for people as well as living with honesty and balance. Through compassionate humor and straightforward dialogue, I strive to help clients review the thought process involved in developing harmony between their behaviors, values and feelings and their identified inner needs, goals and sense of self. I'm especially interested in helping clients to establish a harmony of communication between the three parts of the mind: the Brain, the Heart and the Gut.

Psychological distress limits our ability to participate in relationships meaningfully, and to fulfill our various roles in a way that is satisfying. Therapy can help.
