Adults Therapists in Montpelier, VT

My focus is on helping clients discover their authentic self and to replace unhelpful behaviors that no longer serve them. I work to help teens, adults, and families learn skills needed to manage anxiety, overcome depression, improve communication, and implement new ways of managing stress rather than turning to harmful coping strategies.

I believe in everyone's innate capacity to heal. Everyone deserves a safe and supportive therapeutic environment which can allow one to connect to all parts of oneself and lead to a greater capacity for self awareness and self compassion. Creating this space of safety, trust and unconditional regard for my client guides all my interactions and interventions. We will work collaboratively to explore how your family history, life experiences and current stressors contribute to the issues that bring you to therapy so that you can begin to shift unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behavior that are holding you back in life.

Whether their issues are behavioral, emotional, relational or involving more specific challenges, I use different strategies from different disciplines to assist my clients in reaching their goals.

I am a family-oriented psychotherapist. I work individually with adults and youth, and with families together. How we see ourselves in our families - past, present, future - often provides the foundation for how we form our initial identity. Our identity, in turn, shapes how we act at home and in the world. The therapeutic process provides first a mirror to reflect our own sometimes hidden selves, and a light to gain unique insight into who we are and what we are here to do in this world.

As a young girl is Pittsburgh, I saw people around me being unhappy, confused, not knowing what to do. I wanted to understand why they got themselves in trouble, and why they were troubled. I was curious, and sad. Over the years I learned what those unhappy people could have done. My education began as a teacher of young children. Then I became a caseworker helping people with parenting, adoptions, and the miseries of poverty. Finally, I trained to be a therapist, and treated troubled teenagers, adults with illness, and the old and dying.

I offer mental health counseling for adults and teens of all genders and identities. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to examine the thoughts and beliefs that keep many of us stuck in unproductive and sometimes painful patterns in our lives and relationships. My hope is to work collaboratively with clients as they navigate life's challenges and begin a path toward healing and self-discovery.
