Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Winooski, VT

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing as a therapist since 2015. I currently work in private practice with Insight Therapeutic Services. I have served in a variety of settings including non profit agencies, inpatient and residential treatment, crisis intervention programs, school settings, as well as private practice. I am passionate about strengths-based, trauma-informed counseling for children, adolescents, and adults in a comfortable and welcoming private practice setting. I am currently providing services via telecounseling.

Hello, and welcome! I am currently accepting new clients. I believe that all people are the experts of their own experiences and capable of meaningful growth. The therapeutic relationship can be a supportive vessel for exploring a wide range of concerns and topics. These might include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, trauma, substance-use, life transitions, relationships, and identity. Together, we can explore existing patterns of thinking, communicating, and being... seeking to build upon what is working, and gently shift what isn't.

My work is based in Cognitive -Behavioral psychotherapy, with a wide variety of experiential techniques tailored to the needs of individual clients. I infuse this work with Mindfulness concepts and practices when appropriate to the client's needs. I enjoy my work tremendously, and have a very strong belief that anyone can learn to be comfortable in their own skin, and create a meaningful and fulfilling life for themselves.

Accepting new clients! In person & online. All identities welcome. We can do this together. You can achieve connection, confidence, and a calm sense of safety. These are birthrights that can be buried by responses to life experiences, long or short term. Many patterns labeled “disorders”- such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and painful attachment patterns- are actually logical responses to early environments & cultural oppression. Engrained beliefs & relationship blueprints can quietly develop. Transcending outdated wiring is possible & maybe necessary for easing disorder symptoms & for creating a whole, authentic self.

I am a psychotherapist and bodyworker in private practice for over28 years. I bring curiosity, compassion, and respect to my work with young adults and adults. I see our work as a dance between an interactive exchange and thoughtful reflection. Calling on the wisdom of many approaches, including Somatic Experiencing [Body- Based], Psychodrama, the work of Murray Bowen [Family Systems], and mindfulness practices, I work with individuals addressing a wide range of issues. Much of my work is focused on relationship and attachment. I especially work with individuals who have had challenging or traumatic relational histories.

Change is possible. Sometimes it comes from acceptance strategies and sometimes from change strategies. I utilize many mind-body techniques, including Trauma Releasing Exercises®, Chinese Medicine, EMDR, and Emmett Techniques, to help change happen. Sometimes it takes more than talk. Sometimes the most challenging part is starting.
