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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
