Supporting parents is at the heart of my work. Whether you’re preparing for a new baby, navigating early parenthood, or parenting adult children. I also work with couples and individuals experiencing life transitions or relationship challenges.

Accepting New People! Working together my goal will be to help you become the best version of yourself. Are you ready to make a positive change? Struggling to reach a goal? Making changes often requires clarifying small attainable goals to achieve a larger goal. Need help communicating within a personal or professional relationship? Many times, our communication style may benefit from some adjustment. Having an ally to plan these goals and help provide clarity may help clear the path. People I work with can expect respect, safety, and validation when working with me. Contact me today for a free 15 minute consultation.

I often say, "Being human is the hardest thing I've ever had to do." Maybe you've tried doing what’s expected but something still feels stuck. Or maybe you're dealing with problems with your partner(s) or your child is struggling, and you feel shut out, frustrated, or unsure what to do. Whether it’s anxiety or depression, OCD, eating issues, dissociation, (complex) trauma, or relationship strain, our work together is a place to slow down, sort through the noise, and finally feel like something is shifting again. This is where we stop pretending it’s fine and start figuring out what’s real.

Currently accepting new clients aged 18-30, with openings during the day, for either in-person or virtual appointments, Tuesday-Friday.
Life can feel challenging, overwhelming and even messy, at times. Between work, school, and relationships, we are often pulled in many directions. When this creates stress, worry and even self-doubt, it's beneficial to have someone guide you through, while teaching you the tools and skills you need to become the best version of yourself.

Welcome, I have four slots available for weekly in person or telehealth sessions at 2pm on Mondays and at 11am and 4pm on Tuesdays. I also have a 3pm on Thursdays open. I prefer to see client's weekly. I am a non-judgmental counselor who can help you find that connection again as we collaborate on what you need. I provide a safe space for you, and I am honored to hear what you have to say. The human connection is an important one and when it’s lost, you feel a need to get it back. Maybe you have lost energy or sense of self.

Helping individuals and families lessen the suffering caused by anxiety, depression, ADHD and trauma. Extensive experience in combining cognitive and psychoeducational psychotherapy with physiologically based treatments, such as EMDR, neurofeedback training, HeartMath and alpha stim stress relief systems. Join the growing number of clients that have found these approaches to alleviate symptoms and change behavior by modifying the problem causing mechanisms. Research has shown that these approaches can be particularly helpful when insight therapy alone has been less than effective. We also offer ADHD assessments, working memory and brain training programs. Located on Shelburne Rd, Easy access to I89.

In addition to weekday hours, I do have weekend sessions that open occasionally. I specialize in meaning and perspective. Seeing the world even in a slightly new way creates opportunities to think, feel, and act differently. I aim to build self-esteem while helping clients with insight, clarity, purpose, and relief. When appropriate I like using humor. Laughing is medicinal. Humor helps makes sense of human life.

Therapy is a restorative space that promotes health and psychological flexibility. I am expert at tuning into rich and textured conversations. My formal education, training, and reading in the subject of psychology lends depth to my practice- but the balance of a therapy is in how we manage content and process together- the therapeutic relationship.
I'm a merchant of hope, and whether you are new to therapy or a veteran- there's always more to explore and discover within the psyche, bringing relief to symptoms and/or insights.

Accepting new clients! I work with adolescents and adults experiencing life transitions, behavior issues, regulation difficulties, identity exploration, career challenges, needs around parenting/caregiving support, and those with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence.

I enjoy exploring situations alongside those I work with, observing patterns and considering different perspectives or ways of understanding. I spend time supporting growth in coping strategies, so people can feel empowered to know what works best for them. I find a groove with those looking to process, grow, or change from their current experiences with anxiety, relationships (familial, platonic, romantic, or otherwise), career, or grief. I hope that when you leave our sessions, you find the time to be purposeful, meaningful, and productive.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it can also mark the beginning of meaningful change. As a solution‑focused therapist, I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify their strengths, gain insight into patterns that may be holding them back, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to understand its impact and develop practical strategies for moving forward. I provide individual therapy to adults with a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns, using an approach that is direct, supportive, and respectful.

Talking about a burden someone has been carrying around is a good reason to seek out a therapist. The therapist has to be someone you feel comfortable opening up to and sharing whatever you experience as a burden. Without that relationship of trust it's difficult to move forward. That open-minded approach with a properly broad notion of what it means to be "normal" is at the heart of my practice as a therapist. I work with clients to discover what is leaving them feeling stuck so that they can move forward and find happiness.

Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in patterns shaped by past trauma. They may struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, difficulty in relationships, or feeling disconnected from themselves. In therapy, I provide a supportive, affirming space where we work together to understand these patterns, build healthier coping skills, and foster healing. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, empowered, and able to move forward with greater confidence, balance, and self-compassion.

As of 8/15/2026: Caseload full, accepting clients for waitlist.
I work individually with adults, helping those who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma or identity development. I believe that the therapeutic relationship allows people to consider alternative ways of examining their thoughts and emotional responses. I strive to help people develop a more positive relationship with their thoughts and emotions in order to struggle less with daily stressors in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
