Step 1: Reach out!

Contact me through the form below with any questions or concerns. Or just give me a call at (802) 522-6067. Or send an email to info@mindbodyawareness.net. I will always answer if I am free. But don’t be deterred if I don’t answer. Leave a message, and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

Step 2: Preliminary Conversation

Via email, text, or the phone, we can set up a time to chat. This is free and usually takes about 20 minutes. I have a handful of important questions I will ask you to make sure I’m a good fit for you.

By the end of this call, we should have a decision as to whether we feel it is a good fit to work together. If you’d like to move forward, we can set up the initial intake session.

Step 3: Initial Intake Consultation

The initial consultation is an intake session. I recommend an 60-minute session, as we will have so much to cover. And I really like to make sure you leave that first session with some answers and a plan. I generally leave slots open for intakes, so I can get you in as soon as possible!

Step 4: Commit

I expect my clients to be committed to this process and attend sessions weekly. Only then will we see great results. In some cases, it makes sense to taper sessions to every other week. We can discuss this if it comes up.

In return for your commitment, I will hold a regular session time out of respect for your schedules (except of course in emergencies or extenuating circumstances). I work well into the evenings to accommodate work and school schedules.

The 7 pm slot is generally reserved for new clients and intakes to ensure you get in quickly.

Step 5: Get to Work!

We will work together and collaborate. Sometimes, I am the expert, teaching you skills, providing insight, and leading the structure of the session.

Other times, I am your tour guide through the process toward healing and health, leading you into murky waters for you to find your own answers and solutions.

And then other times, I am just a trusted associate, providing safety and companionship, as we sort through challenges together. I won’t always have ALL the answers. But we will be in it together as we find them.

We will continuously evaluate your progress and adjust as needed.

My offices is in the Mad River Valley Health Center, 859 Old County Road, Suite #4, Waitsfield (upstairs).

You may opt to have online coaching via Zoom. If so, we will send you instructions if you sign up after our intake for these services. Anyone with a cell phone or computer can participate.

I accept Health Savings Account, credit card, cash or check as forms of payments. I do not bill insurances, I can provide a receipt for services and you may ask your insurance provider if they accept a Superbill receipt.

I make every accommodation necessary to re-schedule with you within a reasonable leeway of 24 hours. A no show however is a missed appointment and is the responsibility of the client unless we agree otherwise.

Rates depend on level of participation in group or individual sessions.  Clients commit to a minimum of 12 weeks, and packages reflect the level of support a client needs.  Packages range from $250 - $865 a month depending on where you are in your journey. The longer we work together, the more resources you use, the less it costs.

My education is broad. My undergraduate is a BS in Health Studies from the University of New Hampshire. I furthered my education by obtaining an MA in Counseling Psychology from Lesley University Graduate School.

Why stop there? I completed 33 credits of doctoral work in Family Psychology at Capella University.

International Mindfulness Instructor, Resiliency Coaching Certificate

Level II: Licensed Guidance Counselor -2001-2021Level II: Licensed School Psychologist – 2006-2021Rostered Psychotherapist, Office of Professional Regulation

An integral part of my practice is the result of my training with Wellspring Institute of Mental Health, a Somatic Psychotherapy Group Practice and Phoenix Rising Yoga in Bristol, Vermont, where I completed 300 hours. I am currently completing my advanced yoga 500hr training at Experience Alaya Yoga deepening my relationship with yoga, March 2023.

If you wish details of my additional education such as Assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorders or Clinical Assessment of Children or Counseling the Grieving Child, I have approximately 24 experiences of extended training I can share.

Many clients experience release from a few sessions, and others find trust is a slower process. Mindfulness, sensorimotor awareness, and mindset are the skills that my clients eventually embody as their own.

Let’s see if we are a good fit during our exploratory conversation. I get it, we all have our specific personality types that work for us.
I encourage you to listen to your gut.

I work with adults who are looking for help. My clients find themselves at a crossroad, and know that they need support and want to make a change.

The time is now.  You only have one precious life.  Examine how you spend time and see, how much of the time you spend in leisure is really benefitting you or your loved ones.  Decide if you can afford one hour a week for supporting change. If the answer is you have an hour.  Then you have enough time.

My clients find that they feel deeper connections to themselves, their higher power, and their desire for greater happiness. They also experience more depth of feelings and discover the mistaken beliefs they have about grief, sorrow, guilt, despair, trust, love and worthiness.
