Come home to who you’ve always been
The ease you keep promising yourself is not out of reach.
Somatic psychotherapy for anxiety and chronic stress, online across Vermont.
You’re the One Everyone Counts On
You’re the capable one.
The dependable presence others lean on, the one who remembers everything and lets nothing drop.
From where they stand, your life is working…
Inside, your mind rarely slows down. Your body holds a tension that never fully leaves.
And still, something in you never fully settles.
The Insight Never Reached Your Body
You’ve done the reflection.
The therapy, the books, the quiet hours spent trying to understand where all of this comes from.
And you DO understand it.
Yet your body responds as it always has, alert and tense, as if the next thing is already coming.
Insight gave you the map. Your body never got to walk it.
The ease you’re reaching for lives in the body, not only the mind.
Your Body Can Learn a New Response
Lasting change is more than rethinking your thoughts.
It’s your nervous system learning this moment is not the emergency it once was.
This isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you. It’s about understanding what happened to you, honoring the ways you’ve learned to cope, and creating new experiences that let lasting change unfold.
How This Work Helps You Feel at Home Again
Our work is entirely talk-based and collaborative. We move at a pace your body can trust.
- Wake without the pressure that used to arrive first.
- Rest without the guilt that follows you into stillness.
- Feel settled in your own body instead of always on alert.
- Set boundaries that feel natural instead of forced.
- Stay present with your family, your work, and yourself.
This is what it feels like to belong to yourself again.
Your Path Back to Yourself in Three Phases
Slow Down &
Understand
1
We begin by slowing the pace and understanding what’s happening in your thoughts, your body, and your nervous system. Together, we meet your protective patterns with curiosity rather than judgment.
The pace finally becomes yours.
Heal &
Repattern
2
As your body feels steadier, we gently explore the experiences and beliefs beneath your stress. This is body-centered, trauma-informed work that builds new experiences of connection and resilience from the inside out.
Change takes hold where it counts.
Embody &
Thrive
3
You begin living with more presence, self-trust, and honest boundaries. Your body grows calmer, your relationships more fulfilling, and your nervous system more flexible in meeting whatever comes.
You meet life as yourself again.
Why Trust Me As Your Partner in Healing
Trained in the Body’s Role in Anxiety
My work is grounded in somatic psychotherapy, attachment-focused healing, and Internal Family Systems, reaching where insight alone hasn’t.
Talk-Based, Unhurried, and Entirely Collaborative
Every session moves through guided conversation and gentle awareness practices, at a rhythm your body sets, never a script imposed on it.
A Private, Considered Space for a Few
I keep my practice small and my attention undivided, so the work we do together stays deeply personal and discreet.
Frequently Asked Questions
We still talk, and we do it collaboratively. The difference is that we also pay attention to what’s happening in your body, where anxiety and chronic stress live, so change reaches deeper than insight.
Many of the people I work with arrive with real insight and still feel their body responding the old way. This work meets you exactly there, at the level thinking hasn’t been able to reach.
It varies from person to person, and we never rush it. Many people begin to feel small shifts in how their body settles within the first several sessions.
Yes. My practice is entirely virtual, serving clients across Vermont from wherever they feel most at ease.
Not at all. Much of my work is with accomplished people who look fine on the outside and simply know they’re ready to feel more at home in themselves.
