I believe that therapy can help us see the unconscious patterns of behavior that we unknowingly live our lives within; that it can help us find some distance from our up-close feelings, and see ourselves with kindness; that it can bring vitality to stagnation, and enliven our sense of creativity; that it can help us pursue our desires; that it can be a place where we wrestle with the things we thought were true, and find comfort in the midst of uncertainty; that it can reveal something about the relationships we seek; and that it can teach us how to grieve our yesterdays, find gratitude for today, and hope for tomorrow.

I offer skillful therapy with warmth, gentleness, humor, and an interactive, down to earth style. My therapeutic approach blends more traditional psychodynamic work with body-oriented psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, and the development of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. I work with adolescent and adult individuals, couples, and groups. This work is about igniting what works, what is strong and beautiful in us, as much as it is about resolving old hurt and compassionately holding the difficulties of life. Therapy can facilitate powerful shifts creating greater room for happiness, authenticity and a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.

Feeling unhappy in your body? Feeling like you are using drugs and alcohol to cope with life? I specialize in working with women and adolescent girls who are experiencing struggles around body image, their relationship with food, and substance abuse. So many women don't feel comfortable in their own skin. Food, drugs, and alcohol can be a way to cope with this experience. As women, we receive a wide variety of messages about who we are vs. who we should be. Holding onto these messages is at the root of many struggles in our daily lives.

I am here to listen and help you find healing whether you are struggling with self confidence, negative self beliefs, anxiety, depression, trauma or trauma related stressors, conflict, identity formation, and other issues rooted in child and adolescent development. Rather than judging yourself and feeling you should be or do something different, we will seek to understand the original purpose of the thoughts, beliefs and behaviors with self compassion to better engage the world around you today.

Feeling better is possible! Many of us are our are own worst enemies. Everything you've been through informs how you exits in the world. We all have parts of ourselves that developed to protect us at a point in time. While these parts had the best of intentions and were necessary for survival, they may be holding us back in the present. It' so easy to condemn these parts of us, but what they want and need is love, acceptance, and gratitude for the role they played that allowed us to endure. These parts of you can be your greatest strength! They can be repurposed to help you live in alignment with your values and goals.

I serve clients online and in person in Montpelier Vermont and online only in Washington State.
Most of my work is with sensitive, creative people - artists, entrepreneurs, visionaries, healers - who find themselves stuck in patterns of self-doubt, self-sabotage, paralysis, perfectionism, anxiety, or depression. If this is you, you may feel tangled in past traumas or trying to navigate a difficult experience in the present. Your ways of being might be at odds with "normal" systems and structures or our current collective chaos. (!) Whatever it is, you want to make the shifts that allow you to take root and bloom more fully in your life. I help you nourish your gifts and cultivate resilience in the face of life's challenges.

You dream of a life that feels peaceful and exciting, challenging yet manageable, connected and secure. You know where you want to be, you’re just not sure how to get there yet. You might say “I’m sorry” more than you’d like to, feel frustrated that caring for yourself is so much harder than caring for others, or worry that you'd be a burden if you shared what you're really feeling. Maybe it's been like this for a while. One thing is sure: you’re ready for relief. You’re ready for more ease, playfulness, and joy. You’re ready to feel more connected to your loved ones. Most of all, you’re ready to look to the future with hope.

There are times when we know we need more support. We realize we have been carrying things that have become too heavy to carry alone. We have a clear desire to grow into our full potential but we feel stuck and discouraged. We struggle to communicate with our partner and feel the pain of disconnection. We buckle under the incessant demands of being a good parent. We know it could be better, but we don't know how to get there. I get it. I've been there too. It can get better! I am here to offer you attuned care so that you don't have to go it alone.

I’ve been in private practice for nearly 20 years. My passion is to work with individuals, couples, and groups who are committed to growth and change. I want to empower people to be more connected and integrated with the core of who they are and the roles they are living. I work with a combination of somatic approaches that examine how the body holds our thoughts, beliefs, stressors, and anxieties and how to understand, relieve, and shift them.

I approach each client from their individual perspective, their intersectional identities and ancestral histories that shape their life story, and the social forces that create the environment we move in. I focus on a mindfulness-based healing through exploring and accepting truths within our minds and bodies in a judgement-free, inclusive safe space.

I'm excited and hopeful at the prospect of working with anyone that is curious about the possibilities of what therapy can do and be. I do not have any rigidly defined senses of what therapy needs to look like or what kind of work should happen inside a therapeutic space, but I do have a mission to foster that space as a place of trust, compassion, curiosity, and liberation. My hope is to attract and work with clients who feel they are interested in and ready for beginning a new kind of relationship - one that may better enable them to catch sight of themselves and therefore understand themselves in new and meaningful ways.

I help children and adults of any gender find self-acceptance and belonging without shrinking themselves to fit in. If you struggle with grief, loneliness, or disconnection I want to help you find your sense of belonging and connection. As a relational, psychodynamic psychotherapist, I am interested in the whole of you—the parts you find acceptable and the parts of you that remain exiled in the shadows. We exist as embodied ecosystems rich with specificity, including the people, places, social identities, experiences, and beliefs which have shaped how we move through the world and our relationship with suffering, pain, and desire.
