Welcome

I am glad that you found me.

I am a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Board Certified Professional Counselor. I have counseled adolescents and adults for almost 2 decades, first in a non-profit community agency and now in private practice. I work with individuals, couples, groups and families, specializing in step, blended, same sex and single parent families with teenagers.  My work is informed by family systems and cognitive behavioral theory and my personal experience as a parent and a step-parent. I love my work.

In addition to my private practice, I am an adjunct faculty instructor in the Graduate Counseling Program at the University of Vermont. I also present workshops throughout the northeast to the general public and other professionals.

As your counselor, I will:

• stay curious and interested in your work
• communicate understanding
• witness your feelings
• challenge your stressful beliefs, and
• believe in your ability to think and act in new ways.

I look forward to working with you.
