Teletherapy for Vermont

I am a life coach, counselor with a social work background. I believe in empowerment and the power of resiliency. I work with clients who are going through challenges and I lead them to transformations by listening, affirming and guiding their strengths. I believe in never giving up and the importance of community and reaching out to others. The first step in healing and creating change is walking through the door. I respect all differences and all stories and I work with individuals and I encourage stories to unfold over time. I work well with single parents and those who struggle with parenting, life transitions, stress.

Currently I am not taking any clients and unfortunately, I do not accept any insurance. If you were to look back on your life, what would you see? Are you currently living a life that is consistent with the things you value the most? Whether you are depressed, grieving, anxious or just feeling lost, I help clients find a way through suffering to live their fullest life. I am a good listener and clients find me easy to talk to. You will find me respectful and kind. Together, we can work on the issues most important to you in the context of a supportive environment.

Life can present many unexpected challenges, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. These challenges impact our emotional wellbeing and our relationships. As your therapist, I will offer you the opportunity to reflect upon your life in a safe, respectful, and confidential environment. My area of expertise is Whole Mind-Body Psychotherapy which focuses on the interplay between physical health (body) and mental health (mind). We will identify how your life experiences are stored in your brain-body and influence your emotions, thinking, and behaviors. You will develop new pathways to promote a sense of well-being and inner strength.

Hello! Your therapeutic needs are specific to you as an individual. If you’re currently dealing with any substance use such as alcohol, opioids, marijuana, or any thing else, this is a safe space for you. If you’re looking to cut down, limit your use, or even stop all together, this is a safe space for you. I’m also comfortable with other forms of process addictions such as: gambling, video games, social media and internet use. Whether you’re looking to set short term or long term goals, we can design a treatment plan that works for you. I believe we all possess our own answers to what can help serve us best.

You want to feel confident and in control of who you are, but deep down you are struggling with the pressure to have it all together. You never feel good enough. You're tired and frustrated, you overthink and constantly second-guess yourself. It might be hard to remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You're ready to feel safe and connected in your relationships. You're ready to feel fulfilled in your work, creativity, and passions. Most of all, you're ready to love yourself fully and experience hope.

I help queer and trans adults struggling with eating disorders and other roadblocks to embodiment, feel safe in their whole dynamic selves. Do you feel that if you were a little more perfect, you would feel belonging, love, or acceptance? That if you only showed up like that or just tried harder, then you would love who you are? Do you crave to feel safe in your own being but are unclear on how to get there? Perhaps you understand how complex you are as a person but notice an uncomfortable resistance when you try and unearth these new parts. I would love to support you in becoming your most authentic self.

If you feel like you can't stop overthinking, doubting yourself, feeling anxious, or sad, or you're trying to move forward in life but for some reason past issues or patterns keep repeating and you don't know why, or you're in a transition or going through a tough time and not sure what to do or how to cope, I can help you get to the root of what's going on and learn how to cope with and/or change it so you can get unstuck, feel better, confident, and live the life you want.

A compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can reflect, discuss and learn about your reactions, choices, unconscious beliefs, and challenges can lead to increased well-being. I bring an attitude of kind presence, safety, and respect to the journey of discovery, supporting you to transform disharmony and stagnation into clarity. You’ll gain skills, support, and strength to recognize triggers to anxiety, worry, stress, sadness, relationship and work issues, or other life challenges. You’ll also gain insight into your strengths and gifts, clarify priorities, and open paths that allow for wise action.

Do you need a therapist who is going to push you and hold you accountable? Are you tired of counselors who only ask, “And how does that make you feel?” Does your current therapy feel like you are talking to a brick wall? For both men and women, direct and honest talk is always the best (and often the fastest) way to wellness. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, struggling to get out of bed, divorce, anger, or simply trying to get through each day, I will change your perception of what you think current therapy is like. I will provide practical, common-sense help to get you back on track. Call me for a free 15-minute consultation!

I work primarily with children who have experienced trauma, and adults who care for them. Perhaps you are a parent or professional, struggling with issues of self-regulation, motivation and burn-out. Whether activated by issues from your own childhood, or navigating complexities of practice, I can help you reflect and transform how you show up at work and in your creative life. Reconnect with what you love, and have more available for others.

Are you newly secular? Did you leave a religion or are you in the process of doing so? You've been considering therapy for a long time, but still, you hesitate. It can be challenging to move forward and you sometimes feel haunted by the fears and dogma that were previously a part of your daily life. Whether or not you consider what you are experiencing as religious trauma, you want to make sure you find a therapist who won't make you feel guilty for leaving your former religion. You've got this nightmare scenario of finally finding a new therapist, only to end up ducking religious vocabulary, feeling judged, or defending yourself.

Limited availability (08/29/24) - If you are struggling with strong feelings or relationships then you have come to the right place. Difficult experiences can overwhelm us at different stages in our lives which can lead to poor sleep/appetite, difficulties to connect, racing thoughts, and issues with finding ways to avoid these feelings. Maybe you have had some challenging or stressful experiences in the past, or they may be happening right now. If these experiences sound familiar to you, then perhaps you feel stuck in your life and don't smile as often as you would like. This can be difficult to carry alone.

You sit across from your husband at the dinner table, eating in silence. He’s just a few feet from you, but feels miles away. Things weren’t always like this. The two of you used to connect so deeply with one another. Friends would joke that you two shared your own language. Now, it seems like you’ve both forgotten how to communicate without it turning into a fight. You look for help from advice columns and social media relationship coaches, but every attempt to repair things seems to push him further away. Neither of you is ready to give up on this relationship, but you’re unsure how to save it. You wonder if it’s already too late.

I like to start by building trust and finding out what goals you want to set for yourself. A safe, encouraging atmosphere with no authoritarian or shaming attitudes is important. Humor is useful with couples, families or teens. Role-plays are a fun way to practice new relationship skills.
