Online Psychotherapy
Burlington & vermont Statewide
Psychologist in Vermont
As a licensed psychologist providing psychotherapy in Vermont, I offer secure virtual therapy for adults in Burlington and throughout the state, including Montpelier, Brattleboro, Middlebury, and rural communities.
My practice serves individuals seeking depth-oriented, integrative psychotherapy for anxiety, burnout, trauma, chronic stress, and life transitions.
Online Therapy Across Vermont
Access to specialized psychological care can be limited in rural areas. Secure telehealth psychotherapy allows clients throughout Vermont to engage in consistent, confidential therapy without long travel times.
Virtual sessions maintain the same attentiveness, structure, and depth as in-person work.
Integrative Psychotherapy for Anxiety, Trauma & Burnout
Many Vermont clients seek therapy for:
Anxiety and chronic worry
Depression and emotional fatigue
Professional burnout
Trauma and attachment wounds
Grief and major life changes
Chronic pain and stress-related illness
Identity and existential concerns
My approach integrates:
Psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy
Somatic (mind–body) therapy
Attachment-informed treatment
Mindfulness-based interventions
Interpersonal neurobiology
Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, therapy addresses the underlying emotional and physiological patterns that sustain distress.
Mindfulness & Contemplative Psychology
Vermont has a strong culture of contemplative practice and holistic health. My work incorporates mindfulness as a disciplined attentional practice grounded in psychological science.
This approach supports nervous system regulation, emotional clarity, and resilience in the face of uncertainty and change.
Therapy for Professionals, Caregivers & Educators
I frequently work with:
Healthcare professionals
Educators and university staff
Therapists and caregivers
Remote professionals balancing work and rural living
Individuals navigating relocation or life transitions
Psychotherapy offers space to reflect, recalibrate, and restore psychological steadiness.
A Confidential Process
Therapy is collaborative and paced to support meaningful, lasting change. The aim is not rapid symptom suppression, but greater integration, resilience, and psychological coherence.
If you are seeking a psychologist in Vermont who integrates mindfulness, somatic psychology, and evidence-based psychotherapy, I welcome your inquiry.
