IFS therapy for anxious and disconnected adults in person and online in Vermont.
Living with the constant buzz of anxiety or the depression cloud hanging over you is exhausting. If you are ready to stop coping and start healing then we should talk.
This Stuff is HARDYour anxiety prevents you from feeling present with the people you care about. It can be hard to get a break from all the thoughts swirling in your head.
When the depression cloud settles in motivation leaves, and everything feels impossible.
You have tried all the coping tools, the meditation, maybe even therapy, and you are still stuck. I want to help you move beyond coping to address the root causes underneath. You can heal your internal wounds and access freedom from anxiety.
My Approach
I help my clients to turn inwards and get to know the parts of themselves that are leading to anxiety, depression, stuck relationships, and self-criticism. When we meet the inner children underneath all that we can help them to heal.
Internal Family Systems
IFS is an evidence based approach to counseling. We will get to know all the different parts of you, even the ones that need help and healing.
Trauma Integration Protocol
TIP is a body based approach that allows for the release of traumatic energy stored in the body.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
KAP can be a powerful way to access parts of you that might feel impossible to reach in normal therapy. It can significantly reduce fear and help with trauma healing.
A Little About Me
Yes, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health counselor. I am also a snowboard coach, a professional DJ, and a dad. I am also a carpenter, a taco aficionado, and a legitimate coffee addict. I came to the counseling profession in my late 30s. That means I had lived, loved, screwed up, and done a lot of my own healing. My approach to this work is about guiding you in exploring your inner world of thoughts, sensations, and emotions (but mostly the sensations and emotions).
