Accepting clients! I provide individual counseling for adolescents and adults as well as couples and family therapy. I believe everyone deserves compassion and support regardless of what you may be struggling with. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in making necessary changes to live a more satisfied, successful life free from unwanted stress.

Life can often be challenging. I am here to help those who are at a point in their life where something has to change and the willingness to make that change, whatever that might look like, is now present.

Trained and experienced in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems, I offer counseling to adults, teens, and families that combines strength-based approaches which respect each client's unique history and growth process. I work together with each client to develop treatment goals which reflect that client's hopes and dreams. Client goals may include personal growth, less conflict and more rewarding relationship, family, or work experiences, and release from the haunting effects of the past. For teens and young adults, facilitating the learning of safer alternatives than high-risk behaviors, and a stable satisfying journey towards independence and adulthood.

My clientele seek help with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, couples distress, trauma, parenting difficulties, relationship conflict, and major life transitions. Although I tailor the treatment plan to meet each couple's or individual's needs, the majority of my interventions are drawn from the cognitive-behavioral toolset. I seek to understand strengths, as well as the problems that bring people into my office. Using well-timed humor, relevant research information, and meaningful feedback, I collaboratively design treatment plans that feel "doable." Usually, my clients feel relief in the first few sessions.

While reaching out for help can feel scary, please know that in therapy you have a lot of control and I work hard to help you feel safe.

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults and groups. I believe therapy is about developing a supportive, collaborative relationship, as the therapeutic relationship guides everything. I help people identify patterns of thinking and acting that are getting in their way. We explore how these patterns emerged and work towards healthy solutions and positive life changes. I have training working with individuals who have experienced trauma and suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. I also assist people in identifying thinking patterns and behaviors that have led to the use of drugs and alcohol to self medicate difficult feelings and emotions.

Are you trying to deal with issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, compulsions, or flashbacks from trauma? These are all symptoms that have important meanings. I can help you understand the meaning of these symptoms and assist you in opening the door to more positive self-esteem and life experience. I practice Jungian psychotherapy and analysis as a certified Vermont psychoanalyst. Earlier in my career I have been a practicing corporate attorney, business executive, and CPA.

The guiding philosophy of my practice is to help people understand themselves in the service of personal development within the context of a safe and reliable relationship with another person. I believe that deep and rich self-examination requires rigorous and systematic pursuit on the part of both therapist and patient as they work together. My philosophy places a high value on curiosity, creativity, purposeful aims, tolerance of discomfort, and the strength for meaningful work and satisfying relationships. These are experienced or learned through the medium of the psychotherapeutic relationship.

My work centers on helping clients confront, relate to, and manage the interplay between their feelings, actions, and sense of self. This understanding shapes my therapeutic approach, grounded not in a quest for temporary happiness or conventional success but in exploring and affirming our values, emotions, and unique way of being. Through simple exercises, journaling, and thoughtful conversation, we journey together toward a deeper self-awareness and coherence of being.

I believe that even in the most difficult times, there are opportunities to learn about your inner self and develop new perspective that can lead to finding joy and fulfillment in life.
