Therapists in Essex Junction, VT

I teach Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) coping skills to adults experiencing symptoms of depression, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, autism, ADHD, anxiety or who are otherwise struggling to build a life worth living. If you have tried other therapies without getting the results that you want, I would love to meet with you to learn about your goals and how adding a weekly hour long DBT skills training group to your life can help you to cope with the challenges that you are facing. You are welcome to continue to meet with your current outpatient therapist (if you have one) while attending group classes at Green Mountain DBT.

Often symptoms of unresolved struggles or unmet needs show up in our lives in forms such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, substance use, unpleasant bodily sensations, and more. These manifest in our lives and tell a story about what needs attention and to find resolve and healing. I help those seeking to gain clearer insight, to encourage more vital and personally meaningful connections with oneself and others. With curiosity and compassion, we can explore your experiences, thoughts, and emotions, to gain insight and clarity, creating the road map to achieve the goals most aligned with you and your life.

Reaching out for support can be very intimidating. My goal is to make this experience as welcoming as possible. I work from a strength-based perspective. If you are experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or grief, I am willing and ready to be of support to you. I will work along side of you to help you better manage and understand your emotions, gain awareness of thought patterns and learn effective coping mechanisms to increase your quality of life.

If you are struggling with issues like depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, life stressors, self-esteem, or feeling "stuck," I am passionate for you to know that you are not alone. I am deeply committed to fighting stigma and shame surrounding mental health issues. To be human is to struggle with our mental health in different seasons of our lives, and no one is an exception. Feelings of shame can keep us from reaching out for help, and, tragically, can prevent us from experiencing the healing and vibrancy we so desperately desire. I see and honor the courage and grit it takes for you to be here in this space.

Life is challenging. Emotional, mental and spiritual wounding is a root cause of much distress that can be confusing and overwhelming. Discovering the source of this wounding often involves exploring personal history to discover connections to the present to promote a process of healing.

I'm dedicated to helping individuals discover and enhance their emotional capacities. I hope to raise awareness within the sense of self, leading to stronger interpersonal relationships and a more fulfilling life. Through the therapeutic experience of being understood by another in a safe and genuine relationship, individuals develop an increased kindness for themselves and others, and are able to experience a more authentic view of themself. This self-awareness often leads us to new ways of relating to others, increased awareness and tolerance for difficult emotions, and the transformation of destructive patterns in our lives.
