Explore the Path That’s Right for You
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re seeking therapy for clarity, support in your relationship, or growth in a group setting, each path offers a unique opportunity for emotional resilience, personal insight, and lasting change. Explore the options below to find a therapeutic fit aligned with your goals, personality, and needs.
New clients are welcome to begin therapy or explore available offerings.
Individual Therapy
A private space for clarity, resilience, and personal development.
Clients often seek individual therapy for mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or complex emotional patterns. This is a dedicated space to explore stress, lingering symptoms, and personal challenges that affect your relationships, work, and internal experience. Sessions emphasize emotional insight, healthy boundaries, and strategies that support both personal and professional relationships.
Individual talk therapy offers a thoughtful, one-on-one environment where you can understand yourself more deeply, strengthen coping skills, and experience meaningful growth guided by clinical psychology principles and evidence-based practices.
Couples Therapy
Rebuild trust. Renew connection. Grow together.
In the first sessions of couples therapy, you and your partner explore your relationship history, identify communication patterns, and set goals alongside a Vermont therapist trained in relational work. A couples therapist helps both partners navigate vulnerable conversations, emotional distance, and recurring conflict while establishing healthier ways of relating.
Couples commonly seek therapy during communication breakdowns, loss of intimacy, or major life changes that strain the partnership. Marriage therapy helps spouses cultivate trust, emotional understanding, and long-term connection through structured treatment approaches rooted in effective models like EFT.
Group Therapy
Shared insight. Real connection. Therapist-guided support.
Group therapy provides a supportive environment where participants learn through shared experience. Each therapist-led group is structured around a specific focus area, allowing members to practice interpersonal skills, build confidence, and explore emotional patterns in real time.

The Value of Therapy
Personal Growth, Self-Awareness, and Positive Outcomes
Therapy helps you understand your own emotional landscape, strengthen your ability to manage stress, and improve daily functioning. Working with a highly trained mental health professional supports personal development by clarifying needs, identifying healthy boundaries, and strengthening resilience.
Through psychotherapy, clients gain tools for dealing with anxiety, depression, and relational patterns that impact quality of life. Sessions foster self-awareness, helping you reframe challenges, regulate emotions, and approach both personal and professional issues with greater clarity.
Whether you’re navigating present symptoms, healing from past experiences, or seeking therapy to support future goals, the therapeutic relationship is a powerful tool for meaningful and enduring change.
A Clinical Approach Grounded in Specialized Therapy
A tailored path to well-being, rooted in research and evidence-based practices.
My therapeutic approach blends Collaborative Assessment with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), integrating clinical psychology, positive outcomes research, and client-centered treatment approaches. Therapy sessions are designed to be grounding, emotionally accessible, and responsive to the unique challenges each individual brings. This private practice environment provides a focused, personalized plan for healing, reflection, and growth.
Collaborative Assessment for Personalized Therapy Sessions
Collaborative Assessment shapes the foundation of therapy by ensuring your treatment is individualized, accurate, and deeply meaningful. Through shared interpretation and client participation, the process strengthens emotional insight and supports the healing process.
Key Features:
-
Dynamic Adaptability: Ongoing evaluation refines the therapeutic plan as you progress.

Client Involvement: Your voice, goals, and experiences guide every step.

Clarity for Complex Concerns: Highly useful when navigating diagnostic uncertainty, overlapping symptoms, or questions about ADHD, ASD, anxiety, or other mental health conditions.
This approach creates a therapy experience that is collaborative rather than prescriptive, allowing you to explore the root of personal challenges with depth and clarity.
