About

I am a clinical mental health counselor licensed in beautiful Vermont. I graduated from Antioch University New England and have 15+ years of experience working with a wide range of individuals. In addition to private practice I've facilitated women's therapy groups, mindful self-compassion groups, and worked with hospice patients and their families. I'm a trained EMDR practitioner and utilize a trauma-informed approach. In addition to EMDR, I often draw from the principles and wisdom found in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and careful listening. The people I most often work with might be experiencing some of the following: symptoms of anxiety and/or depression; social anxiety; trauma; isolation and loneliness; grief, loss and bereavement; low self-worth or self-confidence; communication and/or relationship issues.
What I like most about the work I do is making a connection with whomever I'm working with; a connection based on respect, trust, positive regard without judgment, and an aptitude for listening. I believe that with a strong therapeutic relationship, along with patience and intention, anyone seeking help or support through therapy has the capacity to heal and live a life of value and meaning.
