As a licensed therapist in Vermont, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping young adults and women address challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate, affirming approach to working with diverse communities, particularly those in LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent spaces.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to develop self-love, overcome social anxiety, and explore life purpose. I'm deeply committed to creating a supportive environment where individuals can heal from past traumas, manage stress, and build meaningful connections. Whether you're struggling with isolation, self-esteem, or seeking deeper personal understanding, I'm here to support your journey with empathy and professional expertise.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
