About Me
Finding a Path Forward
Rooted in the Green Mountains of Vermont, my therapy practice provides a space for individuals to have their lived experiences mirrored back to them with new tools and insight. I offer in-person counseling in downtown Burlington, Vermont, virtual appointments, and seasonal outdoor sessions.
- Specializing in life transitions, anxiety, grief, and trauma.
Why I Became a Therapist
Over the past decade, I've worked in a variety of roles where my task was to create a safe space. From outdoor education to adventure therapy and residential settings, I noticed how difficult it was for people to find momentum or settle into goal-focused work when they did not feel regulated in their environment. We live in a fast-paced world and I aim to create a calm environment, whether we meet virtually, in-person, or in nature, so you can slow down and work on what matters to you most.
Get to Know Me
Personalized Care for Your Growth and Healing
I’m passionate about helping younger adults who are navigating the ups and downs of life transitions, emotional struggles, and healing from past wounds. I understand how overwhelming it can be to face anxiety, depression, or the weight of unresolved issues, and I aim to create a warm, compassionate space where you can find clarity and peace. Many of the clients I work with are at pivotal moments in their lives, working to establish their own paths and identities, separate from the influences of those they grew up around. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, adjusting to major life changes, or healing from family of origin wounds and trauma, I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment for every step of your journey.
Compassionate Care Tailored to Your Needs
Together, we will identify your current challenges and utilize evidence-based therapeutic modalities to help you progress towards your goals. I aim to provide my clients with strategies they can make their own and feel confident in utilizing outside of sessions.
Individual Therapy
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions, in-person and virtual availability.
EMDR
I am an EMDR trained therapist. EMDR is a powerful reprocessing tool effective in helping clients resolve trauma and rewire unhelpful belief systems.
Outdoor Offerings
Walk & talk sessions in the warm months or Cross Country Skiing sessions integrating EMDR in the winter.
Trauma Therapy
Helping clients understand the neurobiology of trauma while re-processing their traumatic experience.
Empathetic Support for Lasting Change
I take a client-centered approach, putting your needs and goals first. The therapeutic relationship we establish is fundamental in your growth process and I believe that my clients need to feel safe and comfortable to settle into their work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get to know my practice.
My office is located in downtown Burlington in the One Main Landing building at the Waterfront. It is easily accessible via public transportation and there is easily available metered parking.
I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield network plans and Medicaid/Green Mountain Care (Vermont). If you have another insurance plan, or prefer to pay out-of-pocket, I am able to provide a Superbill for possible reimbursement from you plan's out-of-network benefits.
I work with younger adults, age 18 - mid-30's. Many of my clients are University students living in the Burlington area. I also work individuals experiencing transitions in their relationships, careers, and other life circumstances.
My primary counseling modalities are EMDR, IFS informed, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My work is fundamentally attachment-based. Together, we look at past and present attachment relationships to understand the interplay between our lived experiences and current beliefs and behaviors. I help clients establish a working set of skills they can utilize between sessions and build upon over time.
My intake process involves an initial 15-minute virtual meeting for us both to decide if we would be a good fit working together. From there, I schedule an initial session and send you intake paperwork through an easy-to-use portal. During our first few sessions, we will get to know each other more, discussing your presenting concerns and establishing treatment goals.
