I work with adults and couples who are navigating the ongoing impact of developmental trauma (CPTSD), acute trauma (PTSD), attachment challenges, and mood-related issues like depression and anxiety. I am also trained in end-of-life, grief, and loss. Many of the people I work with are dealing with the weight of a difficult past, relationship strain, and the challenge of learning to trust themselves and others. Some are dealing with a loss or seeking support in making meaningful change in their personal or creative lives.

My approach is grounded, relational, and trauma-informed. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other forms of parts-work, Existential, and somatic therapy frameworks, tailoring the process to your specific needs. I focus on helping you clarify what matters most, identify and shift stuck patterns, and reconnect with your sense of agency and self-trust.
My background in storytelling, mentorship, and the creative arts also informs how I support clients in meaning-making and emotional integration. I work collaboratively, with respect for your pace, autonomy, and lived experience.

Therapy is a clinical service focused on healing mental health conditions, emotional distress, and the effects of trauma. It often includes deeper exploration of past experiences, patterns, and internal systems. I offer therapy to adult individuals and couples residing in Vermont via telehealth, under supervision as I complete licensure.
Coaching is a non-clinical, forward-focused process available across state lines. Coaching may be a fit for you if you’re looking for support around personal development, relational patterns, creativity, or life transitions without the need for a mental health diagnosis. While therapy and coaching may share tools and approaches, coaching is not a substitute for psychotherapy and does not include mental health treatment.
