In 20 years of witnessing adults/children within the therapeutic relationship, I am in awe of the strength and resiliency individuals show in the face of truly traumatic events. Over the years, I have built a level of expertise in understanding the role that the transpersonal plays in the healing process. Being a Registered Play Therapist means that I have examined clinically how the story we tell ourselves about an event dictates both the burdens & the strengths we assign to our "self." I welcome you to that process of discovery and healing as we partner on the human journey together.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or loved one can be a difficult task. A true "Master" of the healing arts is one who has spent years learning, practicing, and refining their skills as a healer. Individuals, couples and families first entering into the therapeutic relationship often feel overwhelmed, confused, anxious and vulnerable. They need to feel safe by knowing that they are truly being heard and respected. They also need to trust that their therapist has sufficient experience to patiently guide them thru the process of self discovery on their path to wellness and feeling whole, perhaps for the first time in their life.

Monday and Tuesday availability. Now accepting Medicare. My approach is strengths based and trauma informed. I believe we all have an innate drive to be well. My practice is influenced by polyvagal theory, focusing on the role of the autonomic nervous system on our brain and body and how that impacts our emotions and behaviors. I use education to help people make sense of their experiences and regulation strategies to restore a sense of safety. I find this to help remove barriers that can keep us stuck in states of anxiety, depression, relationship problems and more. Please visit www.restoringrhythmvt.com for more.

I chose the name 'Voyagers' for this practice because I feel we are all on a journey together traveling through time and space. I picture the metaphor of a ship navigating the open sea, riding the waves just as we do in our lives. Realistically, there will always be unavoidable waves in our lives- some larger than others- and sometimes we need a helping hand to voyage through, safely, in a way that embraces our unique individuality. I have several years of formal experience working with youth and families in various systems of care, and made the transition to private practice in Early 2023.

Loss and trauma come in all shapes and sizes. The death of a loved one, the loss of relationships, traumatic events, and various life changes (even ones that seem to be typical) can lead to feelings of intense sadness, confusion, anger, and anxiety. They can impact our day-to-day functioning, our relationships with others, our jobs, our sleep, and our overall wellbeing. Too often, problems we could manage or avoid in the past become barriers to living quality lives, and we're left feeling hopeless and alone.

In private practice since 2006, I continue to feel honored to get to know my clients. My hope with each person is that we will create a space together in which a unique healing relationship may unfold. To facilitate that space, I tend to focus on your feelings and how they are held in the body; on past experiences and how they relate to current feelings and relational patterns; on how relational patterns may be being repeated within the therapy; on the richness of your internal world (that emerges, for example, in dreams, daydreams, artwork, etc.); and on awareness itself, within which all of the above happens.

I believe that therapy is most effective when it is empathic, collaborative, non-judgemental and non-pathologizing. I am deeply interested in the uniqueness of each human being who comes to me. By talking together in ways which nurture curiosity, compassion and insight we will look at what troubles you, what brings you hope, and which patterns of thinking/feeling/being you are engaging in that are not serving you well now.
