As humans I believe we are always working towards healing and positive self-growth. I create a collaborative, compassionate and non-judgmental space with my clients to help them discover why they are struggling and work towards their continued growth. I specialize in working with women-identifying people and queer folks that are 18+ who have experienced a single event trauma and want to get to the root of what is causing them pain.

My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, comfortable space to those in need of psychotherapy in a non-judgmental, professional, confidential atmosphere. I specialize in treating trauma, grief and loss, P.T.S.D., Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety disorders and issues pertaining to women and girls.

I hold unconditional positive regard as the key to a great therapeutic relationship. I work to meet people where they are, to actively listen and understand their values, and to explore and support them to better connect with themselves and others. My goal is to help people cultivate loving acceptance of themselves, and gain insight of how the past impacts the present, while creating an awareness that the past doesn't have to dictate their present or future.

The quality of our mind determines the quality of our life. Together, through relationship, I invite you to work with me to better understand your mind, in part by engaging in present awareness of your body. No one of us escapes suffering; you too can get through whatever life brings your way. It would be my honor to join you in your journey to a happier, more embodied quality of mind.

I enjoy working with young adult clients who are seeking to engage in a change process and identify patterns that are keeping them stuck, whether in relationship to self, their support system or their environment. I primarily work with clients who are transitioning from their therapist at home as they begin college in the Burlington area, or those who are established students at one of the local universities. I also provide services for wilderness therapy guides in search of their own therapeutic support or those looking to intentionally process their field work.

I believe that times of transition or crisis, though frequently painful and disorienting, offer us powerful opportunities for adaptation and healing. I believe we have a fundamental need for connection, for being truly heard and for feeling effective and valued. Whether you are 35 or 85 or somewhere in between, I offer you a place to safely explore your needs and challenges. My clients describe my style as honest, engaged, compassionate and respectful. From my work in urban and rural settings, within a variety of socio-economic communities, I have developed a profound belief in everyone's capacity for positive change.

I approach counseling with the understanding that we are biologically wired for connection. For many people mental health is compromised as our need for connection and meaning in our environment conflicts with cultural imperatives of independence and productivity. I view symptoms of distress as acts of resistance, not individual failings. For many, these acts of resistance result from injuries of marginalization and disconnection. I support clients to explore this resistance in the context of their current environment (friends, family, community). I work with clients from a place of empowerment, not pathology.

Currently unable to take new clients. I believe that good therapy starts with a strong therapeutic relationship. From this place of connection, empathy, and understanding, we’ll work together to explore what’s holding you back from living a life that feels full and meaningful. As your therapist, I will join with you to help heal old wounds, discover inner wisdom, and move towards a more full way of being in the world. My approach to therapy is integrative and recognizes the importance of mind, body, and spirit. My practice pulls from different modalities including AEDP, IFS, mindfulness, psychodynamic, somatics, and person-centered.

Life is a daring adventure... with a lot of pitfalls and crash landings. Sometimes you need help to get out, over and/or through. I provide psychotherapy with respect, compassion, and a sense of humor to guide and walk alongside you. I focus on skill-building and helping you become the hero of your own life, sometimes combining counseling with hypnotherapy. I follow the Intentional Peer Support philosophy: there is nothing wrong with you; and you are the expert on your own life.

I have been in private practice in Burlington, Vermont, since 1989 working with individuals, children and families. At this time, I am working with couples using a time limited method called Dialogue Therapy. I assist partners in learning the skills of speaking for oneself, listening mindfully and remaining curious about the other person's experience even in the middle of an emotionally threatening conflict.

I work with both women and couples who are interested in a therapeutic approach that honors the four dimensions of self: mind, body, heart and spirit. I weave traditional psychological approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy with more spiritual and holistic modalities such as yoga, mindfulness, and the 4-D Wheel. I have expertise in treating anxiety, depression and other mood related challenges. Additionally, I have a special interest in perinatal women's health and supporting couples working through perinatal adjustments and transitions.
