I have worked in the mental health arena for over 26 years, first as a social worker for the state of Vermont in juvenile services (8 years) and later as a member of CHP, an HMO (9 years). My practice has largely concentrated on the following types of disorders:

~ Addiction counseling (especially alcohol, nicotine, gambling and eating disorders).

~ Pain management (including back, neck and migraine discomfort).

~ Anger management (dealing with emotions such as loss and grief).

~ Depression and anxiety issues.

~ Self-hypnotherapy training.

~ Panic and stress disorders (including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an area I have first-hand experience with as a Vietnam veteran ~1968-69).

I am a Masters level clinician, licensed as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I work largely with individuals but have had significant experience with adolescents and families.

I looked for office space that was more centrally located and then had the idea of getting an office on wheels....it all fail into place and within a month I was on the road and the clients all like the idea!

Each case presents its own requirements but in general, I work toward a solution-based treatment. Hypnosis and the training of clients in self-hypnosis are tools that I have found to be very effective. I am also skilled at relaxation techniques and yoga therapy.

In short, I am able to offer my clients a wide range of skills from which their treatment can be formed. In terms of my education, I am a Masters level clinician, licensed as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I work largely with individuals but have had significant experience with adolescents and families

I am on all Insurance providers list and am open for Medicaid.
