Therapists in Williston, VT

Welcome! I am glad you were able to find this page, as asking for help can be very difficult. I believe in the beauty, the truth, and the wonderful potential existing in each and everyone of us. I am committed to foster this source, in order to help your beautiful self find its proper place, role, and meaning in life. In my practice I focus on multiple life and mental health challenges with a strong emphasis on solid evidence-based science, philosophy, spirituality, and religion (I am open and supportive of all backgrounds), as well as integrative, empathetic, and personalized approaches to healthcare.

Throughout our therapeutic work together, we may explore patterns of thoughts and feelings derived from your family of origin that impacts your current life and/or relationships. Within the structure and support of our professional relationship, these patterns become more apparent and conscious, and are thus more easily understood and changed. My role is to collaborate with you to achieve a greater awareness of yourself, to develop more effective behavioral patterns and ultimately reduce undesirable or troubling emotions and interpersonal conflicts.

As humans, we experience both internal and external challenges as we navigate life, and how we understand and approach these challenges is what informs our mental and emotional wellbeing. As a therapist, I work with individuals who are experiencing such challenges and are seeking support in better understanding them as well as navigating them. Grounded in a strengths-based understanding of counseling, I approach my work with compassion, genuine curiosity and authenticity to best support individuals’ feelings of connection, insight and healing.

I offer a welcoming, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to share your story. Sometimes, problems we face — whether they come with a diagnosis or not — may be overwhelming, debilitating, paralyzing, unhealthy, or destructive to ourselves or our relationships. I work collaboratively to help people deconstruct and free themselves from the grip of problems that may be overwhelming and oppressive and move toward preferred ways of living and thriving.

I have been in private practice in Burlington, Vermont, since 1989 working with individuals, children and families. At this time, I am working with couples using a time limited method called Dialogue Therapy. I assist partners in learning the skills of speaking for oneself, listening mindfully and remaining curious about the other person's experience even in the middle of an emotionally threatening conflict.

I work with clients in all walks of life, though I find myself working most often with pre-teens, teens, young adults and moms. My goal is to foster a safe, creative, and supportive space for clients to sift through those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that always seem to pop up. Some areas that I focus in include anxiety, self-esteem, and stress. My approach to therapy is about collaboration: you and I are on the same team, working towards the same goals. My role is to provide coping skills, help you to discover your natural strengths, nurture positive mental health practices, and empower you to live your life to the fullest!

I see a state of imbalance in the world that affects all beings and brings out our collective and individual defenses. These intersect with trauma, relationship issues, fear, anxiety, grief, and depression to create patterns of disharmony within our lives and our dynamics with others. Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe that therapy can help ease the burden. I see therapy as a process of co-creatively and compassionately tending to threads of discord that have become intransigent, freeing new pathways of thinking, feeling, and being. With time and attention, therapy can help cultivate and strengthen an inner balance.

A Healthy self-worth is essential for overall well-being and can affect one's mental health, relationships, and ability to cope with challenges. Strategies for improving self-worth include engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment, surrounding oneself with supportive people, seeking therapy or counseling, and practicing mindfulness and self-care techniques. I can assist clients in developing a healthier self-worth by helping them to recognize and challenge negative self-talk, setting boundaries, practicing self-compassion, and cultivating self-awareness.

Many of my clients are the ones who are being called to a more vivid version of their lives.

Developing a dialogue between therapist and client we work together in the relationship to understand, and expand one's understanding of one's personal and life narrative.
