In Person Therapists in Northfield, VT
Sometimes the hardest transitions aren’t the visible ones. They’re the moments when the ways you’ve come to understand yourself and your worth no longer make sense. Maybe you’re recovering from an eating disorder, questioning wellness culture or a faith tradition, navigating young adulthood or midlife, or or adjusting to a body that no longer feels familiar.
I work with people who are untangling from inherited stories about who they should be so they can build lives rooted in self-trust, authenticity, and the belief that their worth has never needed to be earned.

Welcome! I believe that living wholeheartedly is both a radical act and a sacred return, and it's the heart of everything I do. I'm a depth-oriented psychotherapist and sacred space holder, and my work weaves together mindfulness, somatic and heart-based practices, and cyclical wisdom to guide women back to their most authentic selves, supporting healing from within, the reclamation of your full voice, and the courage to live values-driven and unapologetically whole, rooted in the rhythms and wisdom that have always lived within and around you. I hold space that is warm, grounded, real, and rooted in deep care for you.

My ideal client is navigating compulsive substance use patterns and also carrying spiritual questions—deconstructing, rebuilding, or simply curious. They want relief from shame and anxiety, steadier emotions, and a recovery path that respects both science and the soul. I blend evidence-based counseling with non-dogmatic practices—present-moment awareness, somatic work, breath, and simple Qigong if desired. Your values set the direction—no religious pressure. The aim goes beyond abstinence: nervous-system stability, honest relationships, purpose, and an authentic life.

Depression, anxiety, and despair invite us to seek out deeper connections and growth. The intimacy that develops in the therapeutic relationship is different from what passes for communication in most peoples' daily lives. In the I and Thou, of genuine therapy, there is no barrier. The goal is to be able to totally see and to be seen. Pretense, persona, the need to impress, many aspects of false perception all fall away. There are no barriers. It is a way of healing soul sickness that is challenging to both therapist and patient while at the same time being effective and fulfilling.

As a young girl is Pittsburgh, I saw people around me being unhappy, confused, not knowing what to do. I wanted to understand why they got themselves in trouble, and why they were troubled. I was curious, and sad.
Over the years I learned what those unhappy people could have done. My education began as a teacher of young children. Then I became a caseworker helping people with parenting, adoptions, and the miseries of poverty. Finally, I trained to be a therapist, and treated troubled teenagers, adults with illness, and the old and dying.

My primary orientation as a therapist is somatic, meaning as we explore conditions of the mind, we lend attention to conditions of the body. A somatic approach to therapy aims to lessen automatic responses involving stuck patterns of fight, flight and freeze. It can also help the nervous system learn to better regulate stress and activation.
I am an advanced-level student of Somatic Experiencing, a body-based approach for resolving trauma-based symptoms. If you find yourself dealing with reactions, behaviors, or symptoms that seem automatic (despite your best efforts to change) a somatic approach may be worth exploring.

What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
