After 20 years working with children, families, couples, and individuals from all sorts of backgrounds, I still find joy in supporting others in learning more about themselves and their relationships. While there are themes to each person’s individual story, supporting folks in discovering their own needs, wishes, and desires is an absolute honor to bear witness.

A few details about my career path…

After graduating from St. Lawrence University with a Master’s in Counseling & Human Development in 2003, I began my career working in community mental health agencies primarily in Franklin and Chittenden counties (northern Vermont). I continued my educational and career pursuits with an M.S. in Community Mental Health and Co-Occurring Disorders in 2009 from Southern New Hampshire University. From there, I was fortunate enough to be supervised under Deb Shell, LCMHC and received extensive training with Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, a model of psychotherapy that is rooted in attachment and trauma theories as well as system and relational dynamics.

Ready to launch my own practice, I opened my practice in 2012 in Brattleboro, VT. Because talk therapy accesses only some parts of the brain, I began a certification program in Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) through the Trauma Center at the Justice Resource Institute in April 2017. Since completing the program in Spring of 2018, I incorporate embodiment practices as part of the psychotherapy process as well as offer Embodied Yoga Series in the community.

In addition to my Psychotherapy & Consultation Practice, I was a Training Mentor for the Center for Trauma and Embodiment, a division of the Justice Resource Institute in Needham, MA from 2020-2023. I hold active memberships with the Vermont Mental Health Counselors Association, TCTSY-F Certification through the Center for Trauma and Embodiment, and the Vermont Womenpreneur’s Group.

In the summer of 2021, I returned and re-established my practice in Burlington. My practice offers both in-person and telehealth appointments in Burlington, Vermont, also considered unceded land of the Abenaki Nation.
