Individual counseling and psychotherapy for adults in Vermont.
Are you ready to explore?
Maybe anxiety's keeping you on edge.
Maybe there’s been a change in your life, and it’s hard to adjust.
Maybe it feels like your relationships are rocky or dissolving out from under you.
Maybe your past keeps pulling you down.
Maybe the grief feels too heavy to hold.
Or maybe you are tired of feeling like you don’t belong… anywhere. Even to yourself.
It doesn't have to be like this forever.
That pain or hole inside of you can fill in with a sense of confidence in who you are and greater ease in how you are living.
As a social worker in Vermont for over fifteen years, I’ve studied how the brain and body respond to hard things as we grow and age.
Our brains develop patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to protect us – but sometimes the patterns backfire or get used too much – and those patterns start to cause problems for us.
Have trouble sleeping?
Eat or work or worry too much?
Yell at people sometimes?
Feel disconnected from reality or other people?
Cry a lot or not at all?
That all comes from somewhere.
You aren’t broken.
The patterns can change.
In therapy, we notice those patterns – how you tend to think, feel, and act – and unravel where they came from. How are those patterns serving you well now? How are they getting in your way? It sounds like a simple process, but it takes some guts. The magic of therapy? You don’t have to do it alone.
As your therapist, I would stay present with you as you discover where the hard things come from and figure out how you want to live now. By meeting regularly, you’ll build trust that you’re not alone in this process of growth. Someone is witnessing your progress – the small signs of change and growth as well as the big ones. And you’ll learn to have courage to face the emotions as they come, because we will hold them together.
Reach out now to schedule a fifteen minute conversation.
We will talk about what brings you to therapy, what your hopes and goals are, and if my approach and strengths may be a good fit for helping you move toward your goals.
