Therapists in Saint Albans, VT

My strengths and talents include having compassion and empathy for the people I work with. What I believe is special or distinct about me as a therapist is my ability to encourage people to be open about their experiences. What I love most about my work is being able to join people in their journey of discovery about what their future holds for them. I have experience working in a community mental health setting for the last 14 years, where I have worked with a variety of mental health needs. I have been working as a private therapist since 2019.

New Patients Welcomed! We all would like to make some positive changes in our life but it can be one of the most difficult things to do. My first goal is to build an alliance with you based on your trust and so that you feel comfortable working with me. This is the cornerstone of the therapy, and without trust in the therapeutic relationship the success in treatment is minimum. Having a strong alliance allows us to focus anxiety, depression, and trauma that creates desires for active use. Then allows more positive thinking leading to positive change. I would be happy to talk with you about your goals and see how I could help.

Accepting new clients. Hi, there! I am interested in building our relationship's foundation on trust. I believe client and therapist relationship is the only way to produce positive outcomes. When this is established, a beautiful environment is formed to which you, the client, may take steps to heal. We will work together as a team to change negative thinking patterns to positive thinking patterns, fill your tool belt with healthy coping mechanisms and ultimately smash your goals of therapy. This is a non judgmental zone, there are no power struggles and you will feel welcomed.

In 20 years of witnessing adults/children within the therapeutic relationship, I am in awe of the strength and resiliency individuals show in the face of truly traumatic events. Over the years, I have built a level of expertise in understanding the role that the transpersonal plays in the healing process. Being a Registered Play Therapist means that I have examined clinically how the story we tell ourselves about an event dictates both the burdens & the strengths we assign to our "self." I welcome you to that process of discovery and healing as we partner on the human journey together.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I excel working with clients who desire evidence-based treatments such as DBT and CBT. It is my belief that clients know themselves best and should be in the driver's seat at all times.

Welcome! My approach to working with adolescents and adults centers around compassionate interactions to empower individuals to move and grow beyond their current situations. I believe that it is important for everyone to feel responded to and heard.

I look forward to sharing my therapeutic philosophy and guiding you to achieve your greatest potential.

Reaching out for help can be overwhelming, and I commend you for taking this first step in making a real change. My practice provides a safe, non-judgmental environment, for us to build a trusting relationship together. Through this journey, we will find strengths in your ability to take on life’s challenges, and work together through your struggles.
