My patients are quite often those who feel 'stuck' in specific patterns or routines that feel endless and challenging to overcome. Some also are specifically seeking a psychoanalytic approach, and want a traditional Lacanian or Freudian frame in facilitating this approach. Patients who wish to examine the subjective structures that determine one's experience of the world in order to gain a stronger sense of agency in pursuit of their desire.
Ever feel like you just don't know which way is up anymore? Whether it's at work or school, in your relationships, even in your own identity, it's easy to feel lost in the sea of life. Perhaps you're trying to adapt to a new normal, or you're feeling dissatisfied in your marriage; life isn't meant to just be tolerated or survived, it's meant to be lived and enjoyed. This can be incredibly challenging if you feel tense, on edge, fearful, resentful, panicked, lonely, or like you're not enough.

Whether you are navigating depression and/or anxiety, suffering from grief and loss, striving to avoid burnout at work or school, concerned about the climate crisis, exploring your identity, or are wanting to establish new boundaries/routines – my role is to support your journey so you can live with more authenticity as your full self – in both heart and mind. I currently work with individual adults (18 & up).
Our clients are motivated to change their behaviors and circumstances and work hard to create progress through practice of new skills. We work with single-event and complex trauma, dissociation, and personality/interpersonal difficulties as well as more general mental health conditions. Our clients are usually between the ages of 18 and 50 but some clinicans work with younger and older clients. We are LGBTQ+ friendly, multi-culturally aware, and sex positive.
Being a human is not easy. We search for meaning, purpose, all while the world spins a web of uncertainty-making it difficult to feel safe- leaving us feeling anxious, hopeless, and confused. My goal as a therapist has always been to support my clients, both teenagers and adults, in looking at their lives, and their experiences, and encouraging them to find their meaning and purpose in all of the noise.
I am honored and privileged to join my clients on their journeys. A successful therapy experience is two-sided: a high level of motivation and commitment on your part, along with my experience, expertise and support. My clients tend to be ready and willing to take deep dives inward to explore themselves. Examining perspectives can lead to deeper understanding and thus allow you to make the shifts you desire. My relationship work often does not need to be long-term. Offering virtual in VT, PA
