Psychotherapy Services - "Psychotherapy that does not address the body is like pulling a weed and leaving the root."
-Erica Hornthal

Getting to know you and establishing a strong working relationship is the foundation of my approach. I am passionate about helping people recognize their strengths. My practice is strengths-based and trauma informed. Please note work with adults age 25 and up.

Therapy is a rewarding and challenging process. I work collaboratively to create a unique therapy for every patient, drawing on somatic, dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapies, narrative, expressive, and parts therapies. I enjoy incorporating music, art, drumming, and humor in sessions.

Sessions often include education about the effects of stress on the brain and body that affect our emotional health. I have found that education about the many emotional and physical effects of stress helps people make sense of their experiences and remove much of the shame that can be a barrier to seeking or making progress in therapy.

I have worked with the Vermont Association of Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, providing training on motivational interviewing, group facilitation, and compassion fatigue associated with secondary trauma. I also advocate at the Vermont Statehouse, testifying before various legislators on mental health issues and funding for needed services.

I received my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Johnson State College in May 2015 I am a Vermont licensed clinical mental health counselor and have been in practice for 9 years in a private practice setting. I am a Level two Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Remo HealthRHYTHMS trained facilitator for wellness and self empowerment group drumming.
