The findings of modern neuroscience are coming together with the practices of ancient traditions in the service of people whose lives have been marked by experiences of traumatization, emotional pain, stress, loss, and disrupted growth. I identify my practice as part of the international effort to facilitate healthy ways of being in mind, body, spirit and community. I work with adults of all ages whose patterns of adaptation to stressful experience have led to difficulty maintaining balance, growth and a sense of thriving in everyday life. My work is dedicated to the art of moving together toward realization and integration.

I believe therapy is about collaboration, working together to discover and explore your strengths and find your unique story. I offer a caring and non-judgmental space where you’ll feel heard as you move toward achieving your personal goals. I’ve been working as a school counselor in Vermont with families in crisis and these past few years have been especially tough due to the pandemic, impacting our youth profoundly. Having witnessed this firsthand within the school system, I was inspired to start my own practice.

Our work together will focus on gaining a deep understanding of what it is like to be you, sifting through strengths, challenges, and the simple (yet ever complex) state of being human. I believe that everyone has intrinsic worth, no matter where they are on their journey, and I'm here to help you find that within, while sifting through the uncomfortable parts of life that may be getting in your way. Whether your personal challenges are family relationships, work, finding your place with others, or getting through the day, I will support you in finding your own way to be at peace in the world, however winding that path might be.

I work with teens (13+) and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and want therapy to be collaborative and skill-based—not just a place to vent. Clients often face anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, or identity exploration. I especially support neurodivergent individuals and those struggling with emotional regulation. Together, we build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

If you find yourself stuck in self-doubt, constantly criticizing yourself, feeling like you're never quite “enough,” or trapped in patterns that hold you back, you’re not alone. Navigating transitions in early adulthood like starting college, beginning a new career, or adjusting to changing relationships may open up old wounds, and you may be carrying the weight of earlier life experiences that still shape how you see yourself today. You want to feel understood, regain control, and find hope for a brighter future where your past no longer defines you.

I work with children & families. I believe that the relationship between children and families is essential to a child's well-being. When parents have the tools and education they need they are their children's best support and teachers. Parenting is the most challenging task you will undertake and when children encounter stress and difficulties it gets even harder. My goal is to support parents to have the tools they need to understand what their child is experiencing, and what the children may need from the parent and to support the parent and child along the way. I work with children 10 and under with two sub specalties

It's often difficult to reach out for help when you most need it, and it can be hard to speak with someone you've never met about personal issues. On the other hand, it can be easier to do with a person who is a trained, neutral professional. I can be objective and understanding in a way that well-meaning friends and family often cannot. My work with couples, individual adults including seniors, or the younger population, begins in a friendly, professional manner whereby we move towards knowing each other better. A rapport between us is essential in accomplishing our work.

On the outside, you may look like you have it together, but inside, it feels different. Maybe you identify as LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent, live with ADHD or autism, or grew up in a family where your needs weren’t understood. Perhaps you’ve turned to substances to cope and carry shame, wondering why life feels so heavy. You are not broken. What feels overwhelming is often the mind and body’s way of surviving pain and trauma.

In a world that profits off of our disconnection, from ourselves, from each other, and from the land, it is a radical act to slow down and pay attention to yourself in a deeper way. No matter what you are experiencing - depression, anxiety, relationship stress, or fear and uncertainty about the state of the world - slowing down and noticing what you are experiencing with compassion and curiosity is the first step toward any healing process. My job in therapy is to support you in learning how to be present with the thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations that might feel too intense or scary to be with alone.
