Therapists in Orleans County, VT

Life is a funny thing. And often terribly complicated. During our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school or work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with some of those struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.

I meet people where they are so we can begin the journey towards a more healthy and productive life. As a bicultural, bilingual clinician, I am well aware of how important cultural and family norms are and what role these play in our daily lives. I am sensitive to inter-generational conflicts that arise due to acculturation issues. Experience working with maternal wellness, teen & adults. Envisioning a rich and rewarding life can be challenging when you are overcome by either longstanding or daily problems.

Currently only accepting clients for extended session/intensive trauma work. As a therapist, I believe everyone is capable of fulfilling their true authentic self and realizing their maximum potential. The therapeutic relationship can serve as a catalyst for this change and my role as a therapist is to partner with you on this journey and to offer support and guidance. My experience is in working with adults with complex trauma. I believe the core condition of being human is forming relationships and we experience dysfunction and unhappiness when we experience disconnection.

My priority as a therapist is to foster a warm, collaborative, confidential environment in which we can focus on the challenges and goals that matter most to you. My therapeutic style is pragmatic. I draw on a range of theoretical and practical traditions, but my core commitment is to understanding you and your experiences from a empathetic and non-judgmental perspective. I have availability during morning and evening hours and on weekends as necessary.

In psychotherapy, I view the therapeutic relationship above all else. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and families. I practice traditional and holistic therapeutic modalities with an expertise in sexual health concerns. I also have training in trauma, addictions, and general mental health recovery.

Providing Supervision to Licensed and Pre-Licensed Therapists, Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist and Certified Consultant, Internal Family Systems Psychotherapist. The development of a gentle curiosity of one's internal experience becomes the basis for compassion and authentic expression. This contemplative relationship with oneself can then expand the way in which we connect and relate to others. Therapeutic style is interactive, while encouraging the client's inner consciousness to guide the process. Use of somatic, parts work, and strength-based modalities that view individuals as having an innate propensity toward health.

The guiding philosophy of my practice is to help people understand themselves in the service of personal development within the context of a safe and reliable relationship with another person. I believe that deep and rich self-examination requires rigorous and systematic pursuit on the part of both therapist and patient as they work together. My philosophy places a high value on curiosity, creativity, purposeful aims, tolerance of discomfort, and the strength for meaningful work and satisfying relationships. These are experienced or learned through the medium of the psychotherapeutic relationship.
