“If you have come to heal me, you are wasting your time. But, if you have come here because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

Psychosynthesis Counseling

As a psychosynthesis counselor my task is to be a skillful listener you can trust, curious and non-judgmental, able to see and recognize value in all of who you are in order to support you, the client (or traveler), as you develop deeper awareness of self. Through this awareness and acceptance, or synthesis, a sense of integration, of wholeness and ultimately, of freedom, enables you, the client (or traveler), to make choices that align with your deepest sense of purpose.

This is a psycho-spiritual work that invites us to explore thoughts, feelings, and that aspect of self that is more than our thoughts and feelings. Diagnosis is not relevant to this approach. Everyone's therapeutic work is unique and therefore every session is a creative process in which you and I, together, draw on many different techniques to help you understand what is emerging for you, what might be getting in your way, and what you need for greater choice, joy and personal expression in life.

I am a Vermont registered psychotherapist. I earned a BA with a concentration in health from The University of Massachusetts and completed the CCE’s Psychosynthesis Life Coach Training Program. I have 40 years experience in social service, holistic health, and education and 10 years of experience in non-sectarian spiritual counseling.

“I have enjoyed and benefited so much by being guided by you for well over a year now. You create a wonderful, supportive and calming space that has facilitated greatly my growth and curiosity, and ease with regard to my struggles. I am constantly amazed by your presence, skill and wisdom. I have no doubt you will be invaluable to anyone who chooses to work with you.” DN, Dublin, Ireland

“I have come to see our human life, individual and collective, as a journey of the soul on earth…(It) is never fully understood, but rather remains “wild” and open and incomplete. It … does not depend on our awareness, and yet, if we do choose to become aware of it, we can better cooperate with, and support, our own (journey)… an expression of a deep need, even drive, within us to seek the fulfillment of our human wholeness and to realize the destiny we sense is ours…” Thomas Yeomans
