Everyone has the capacity to grow and to heal. It's easy to get stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, limit our perspective and perpetuate suffering. I'd like to help you explore what you need to gain resilience, to discover joy. I'm a good active listener with a big heart. My art background and compassion practice inform all I do. In therapy, we'll look at the larger picture together: notice the patterns and the narratives you've created about them, the self-judgments, the emotions that can (but don't need to) run the show, the places you feel stuck. My practice is client-centered. I honor you and your self-expertise.

In our journeys through life we experience both pleasurable and distressing events. When these events reach a level of trauma and are not processed or effectively integrated, individuals may rely on less adaptive strategies to manage discomfort, stress and change. These strategies can negatively influence the way we perceive and interact with the world and affect our intuitive nature and our intentionality for seeking meaning and experiencing joy. My practice is informed by a deeply attuned and heartfelt approach to my client’s emotional wellbeing. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families.

While I have experience using most traditional interventions (CBT, DBT, etc), experiential therapy is a unique part of my work.
You want the best for yourself (or your child). The story you tell of your experiences deserves to be heard. We all deserve to have space to be deeply understood at any age. It's my desire to provide understanding; listening that is so healing. I work with children, teens, adults to build lasting skills and resources for them. I value working with individuals that are learning to navigate their identities in an overstimulating world. Clients and I work together to process, and build skills in order to meet their treatment goals and create enduring healing. I have a deep love for Vermont and my aim is to support our community.

I tailor my approach to your specific needs, using mindfulness, DBT, CBT, Gestalt and psychodynamic therapies.
Therapy can seem like a challenge at the beginning. The most important thing is that the client experiences a sense of safety and agency. I always appreciate when clients share openly about their struggles and communicate what they think is helpful. Clients already come with a lot of knowledge and experience. As a professional I aim to bring my skills and therapy experience to meet clients where they are at that moment. Good therapy involves both listening to the what each client needs and adapting my approach to help guide them and help them overcome challenges.

I offer help through the lens of Narrative Therapy while drawing on training in CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused, mindfulness-based, and mind-body therapies.
Welcome. I believe that people make meaning of their lives through stories, and for various reasons, some stories get repeated over and over again while others remain untold. In therapy, we will look closer at your lesser-shared stories and what they mean to you. I believe that people aren’t problems. Rather, problems are proof that you’re standing for or against something you care about. Let’s explore the knowledge you hold about who you are, what you value, and what you hope for. I will meet you with curiosity and care to support your movement toward hope and meaningful change.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
