Therapists in Shelburne, VT

For over three decades I have counseled individuals, couples and families. I love my work. I am a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Supervisor, Consultant, Adjunct Professor, Keynote/Workshop Presenter and Non-Denominational Minister. Informed by Family Systems Theory, Relational Life Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I will stay curious and interested in your work, give you my undivided attention, communicate understanding, witness your feelings, challenge your stressful beliefs, provide direction and support, and believe in your ability to think and act in new ways.

I have spent the last 17 years providing mental health services to clients at each level of care.

I provide psychological services to address a wide variety of concerns, challenges and transitions. I use approaches that have been scientifically shown to be effective. I view the therapeutic process as a partnership between myself and the client. My approach is adjusted to meet the unique needs of each individual client, and I seek to provide an open, supportive forum in which to explore your life and reach your personal goals. With my support you can identify the areas of your life that are not working and make a plan to create growth, change and improvement, allowing you to live the life you desire.

In my practice I help women gain new tools for coping and growing into a higher version of themselves. They are motivated for change and feeling an urge to start making different choices, but not quite sure how to do that. One of my clients calls me the "choice whisperer," because when I get involved suddenly they feel like they have so many more options for how to behave, when to stand up for themself, and when they are allowed to be vulnerable.

It takes courage to reach out, so please have in mind that we all need the support of others. Give yourself a chance and take a minute to get in touch. I have more than 10 years of practice as a psychoanalyst and I believe I can help you understand and cope with your most deep and complex conflicts, anxiety, losses, fears and traumas.

My work as an Emotional Support Life Coach is enhanced by my background in psychotherapy and nursing. It brings a progressive approach to self-healing. Using a myriad of techniques including hypnotherapy, EMDR, Reiki and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, I work with individuals and families to identify personal strengths locked behind negative energy.

I specialize in treating trauma due to abuse, neglect, domestic violence, anger, anxiety, depression, grief and difficult relationships.

Central to my work as a therapist is helping people make necessary, life affirming changes, both personally and in their relationships. Living comes with depressions, anxieties, unexpected betrayals, work crises, illnesses, self-defeating behaviors and personal shames. At some time or another, we've all felt how hard "getting by" can be, how alone and overwhelming. Of equal importance, however, is the healthy courage it takes to ask for help. Toward that end therapy offers people an opportunity to feel deeply known, a chance to move forward with greater self-awareness, confidence, and self-acceptance.
