Therapists in Barre, VT

Accepting New Clients - I believe life brings varying degrees of struggle and pain, and we can all benefit from help to move through it. I also recognize the bravery it takes to reach out for help, and my goal is to establish an environment where individuals feel comfortable not only reaching out but also in the journey that follows. In my work with adults (18+), I employ client-centered and collaborative methods, meeting individuals where they are and creating a supportive atmosphere to explore their concerns.

My focus is in helping couples, families, teens, and adults to heal from the direct and indirect effects of trauma and build healthy lives and relationships. Trauma shows up in many ways, some obvious and some not realized to be trauma by the person or people going through it. It can have many effects, including fear, anxiety, depression, numbness, chronic pain, negative thoughts, anger, feeling out of control, feeling like it's your fault, not feeling normal, feeling a sense of needing to keep busy, panic, self-harm, relationship difficulties, family difficulties, shutting down, isolating, or being uncomfortable being alone.

I have treated both adolescents and adults who struggle with trauma, addiction, mood disorders, personality disorders, and behavioral issues. I have spent many years treating those who are incarcerated and those who are re-entering the community and their families.
