Teletherapy for Williston, VT
Your days seem to blend together, grasped tightly in the hands of pressures and to-dos. Most of your energy is spent trying to avoid mistakes or “bad” situations, but this exhausts you. It’s possible that you even spend a lot of time worrying about others, people-pleasing, running yourself ragged trying to keep your head afloat in the water you hardly recognize as your life. As you try to sleep your brain replays everything you “should” have done differently, things you have to do tomorrow, and whether or not everything you’re doing is even enough. It feels sometimes like you don’t even have control over your own mind.

I love to work with people who seek to move beyond symptom management and are ready for a deeper process of self-knowledge and change as well as those who are forced by life circumstances to re-evaluate the foundations of their worldview, relationships, and sense of self. Change is most effective when it’s self-chosen and when it’s an outgrowth of insight, thus I will encourage you, challenge you, and accompany you in looking deeply within yourself to bring into awareness the unconscious and to facilitate a process where you can grow more fully into your self and develop a greater sense of vibrancy, autonomy, and wholeness in life.

I conceptualize therapy as a collaborative process in which therapist and client determine treatment content and goals, working to create an environment of compassion, challenge and insight capable of motivating those disruptive changes which constitute so much of the meaning of therapy. In attempting to individualize treatment, I cultivate an integrative responsiveness utilizing those techniques that seem best able to serve the client's needs and promote therapeutic goals. Often these goals extend beyond symptom relief to include the enhancement of psychological capacities and resources through self exploration and discovery in the context of a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship.

The challenges of cancer do not stop after treatment. The National Cancer Institute defines cancer survivorship as “focusing on the health and well-being of a person with cancer from the time of diagnosis until the end of life. This includes the physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial effects of cancer that begin at diagnosis and continue through treatment and beyond.” This resonates with me because it acknowledges the whole cancer journey and the unique concerns and needs of each individual as they change over time. Loved ones and caregivers are also impacted by cancer and are also a part of the survivorship experience.

We all need a tune-up at certain times in our life. Our work together, tailored to each individual, offers the opportunity to help you to take charge of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors along with raising self-esteem, nurturing oneself in healthy, positive ways, releasing your emotional pain and assertively taking care of yourself with others. Childhood issues often create unidentified patterns that work silently in the background to sabotage you accomplishing your goals in life. I work interactively from a Mindfulness based approach as well as Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems and Psychodynamic Therapies.

Hello! I aim to provide opportunities for exploration in our sessions to support an increased understanding of current issues. Together, we can unearth and enhance skills to navigate the areas of your life that matter most to you.

While some relational patterns promote trust, respect, and openness, other patterns may contribute to pain and conflict. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults, but also provide parent and caregiver support and family counseling for family units that include adolescents/young adults.

You want to feel different than you do right now. Maybe anxiety keeps you on edge. Maybe relationships are blowing up or dissolving out from under you. Maybe the grief feels too heavy to hold, or you're tired of feeling like you don't belong. It doesn't have to be like this forever. With 15 years' experience, I’ve seen how the brain and body respond to hard things. Our brains develop patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior to protect us–but sometimes the patterns backfire and cause problems. Have trouble sleeping? Eat or work or worry too much? Yell at people? Feel disconnected from reality? That all comes from somewhere.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
