Therapists in South Burlington, VT
I am passionate about people and the stories that make up our lives. I often lead with the question: "What is your story?" And follow with, "What do you want your story to become?" I have spent much of my life examining the roles and symbols embedded in our everyday life, using creativity, interpersonal techniques, to inform powerful personal change. I have over 20 years experience working in therapeutic settings, cultivating space to honor the healing process and narratives in all of us. My compass is driven by compassion, curiosity, creativity and always some laughter. I will hold the shadows but also make room for the light.

I work with individuals and families navigating challenges such as developmental trauma, adoption-related experiences, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and depression. I am drawn to working with clients who are curious about how their past experiences shape their present, open to deepening their emotional regulation skills, and interested in building more authentic connections with themselves and others. They value a collaborative space with intentional pacing, where they can explore their needs, develop meaningful insight, and work toward lasting, transformative change.

Lao Tzu wrote, “Your own positive future begins in this moment.” This quote speaks to the heart of my clinical practice. I view therapy as a path taken together rooted in respect, humility, kindness, honesty, and perseverance. On this journey, we will develop a life of meaning and purpose grounded in your own goals and values.

I work with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions. I will work with you to identify your goals, your strengths, and your positive capacities to make changes. I can also help you work through the effects of traumatic events, complex trauma, PTSD, medical trauma, and fears and phobias, including fear of medical procedures (blood draws and upcoming surgeries). Using EMDR and other modalities, I can help you heal from trauma and feel less hijacked by your emotions. I would like to help you envision and embody your goals for the future!

I approach therapy through creating a safe and supportive space in which a strong therapeutic relationship can form. Through a genuine partnership I support clients to identify meaningful goals. Working together we can grow to a better understanding of unhelpful life patterns, both inside and out, that leave one feeling distressed and unfulfilled. I use a holistic approach that draws upon a broad array of therapeutic resources depending upon what best suits your particular needs and situation. Clients are able to cultivate strengths and helpful skills along this therapeutic journey that help to improve identified difficulties.

Do you feel like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough? Do people tell you that you’re too hard on yourself, but you’re not sure how to change? If you’re struggling with overwhelm, burnout, or shame—you don’t have to navigate it alone. People often come to me with challenges like anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, and trouble managing ADHD. I believe much of the distress we experience isn’t our fault—but we do have the power to change our relationship with it.

Many of my clients are the ones who are being called to a more vivid version of their lives. They may have gotten off track with life purpose, or they may have long sensed something beyond familiar paths, but they’ve not had the support they needed to answer the invitation to a different way of doing or being. What I offer is mirroring, skillful inquiry, and spirited co-creation in creating this new life. I have been a practicing psychologist for 38 years, and I have also worked many years as a wilderness guide, facilitating explorations of life purpose, inner truth, and self-transformation.

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.

I specialize in working with students and adults navigating transitions, depression, self esteem and relationships. I believe that in order to get unstuck from negative patterns, we need to understand and explore our own strengths and skills, and learn how to heal old wounds. My own non-linear path has enriched and informed my work with individuals navigating career change, relationship issues, depression, postpartum, OCD and trauma. I strive to create an open and honest therapeutic space to support clients as they decipher big questions and develop coping strategies, self care practices and a deeper acceptance of self.

Welcome. Perhaps you're feeling run-down, stuck or unsettled in life. Perhaps you're feeling dissatisfied with relationships in your life and unsure as to why. Sometimes the stress we feel is manageable, sometimes it feels overwhelming. I believe we are all doing the best we can and we also have the capacity to change. I hope to work with you by building a rapport based on genuineness, humor and empathy. In this process, you may discover meaning and understanding about your own experiences and relationship patterns.

Being a human is not easy. We search for our meaning and purpose all while the world spins a web of uncertainty, making it difficult to feel safe- which can leave us anxious, hopeless, and estranged from what makes us happy. My goal as a therapist has always been to support my clients, both teenagers and adults, in looking at their lives to identify their meaning and purpose and to build skills to accept and move through difficult emotions. I am of the firm belief that confronting those things that are hardest, with the support of others, can break the overwhelm of anxiety, the frustrations of ADHD, and the domination of OCD.

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.
