Congratulations on taking the next step toward making positive changes in your life. I'm a Vermont licensed mental health counselor. The foundation of my approach to counseling is my belief that every person is capable of learning, growth, and change. My role is to offer skilled support and walk beside you on your journey. I use evidence-based strategies like mindfulness, CBT, and DBT to help people with anxiety, depression, work, home-life, and relationship issues. I also help people struggling with symptoms of trauma and PTSD using the very best of EMDR, Progressive Counting, and Flash Technique interventions. I look forward to connecting with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
