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.
