Question 1

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Schedule your initial consultation by clicking the button below or on the home page. This first session is a comprehensive consultation where I will review your initial paperwork, we’ll discuss your concerns, and determine the best treatment plan for you. We can also discuss referral options as needed. Depending on your priorities, we can save time toward the end to include a hypnosis experience.

Question 2

Do you work with clients virtually?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I offer virtual sessions, allowing you to access care from the comfort of your home. No travel, no waiting rooms—just expert care designed to fit your schedule and lifestyle.

Question 3

Can you work with me if I don’t live in Vermont?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Thanks to PSYPACT, I am licensed to provide telehealth services to clients in most states in the US. If you’re unsure whether your state is included, look for "participating states" on the PsyPact map here.(https://psypact.gov/mpage/psypactmap)  
My PSYPACT number is 21157.

Insurance requirements may vary by state. 
Most commercial insurers have "out-of-network" benefits. You can contact your insurance company for clarification. 
My NPI number: 1508299322 
Medicare, for example, requires me to have an office in-state, so although I am licensed for telehealth, I can only accept Medicare for Vermont  residents.

Question 4

How long does treatment last?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in short-term, results-driven treatment designed to help you experience meaningful progress efficiently. Group programs typically consist of 6–8 sessions. Individual treatment varies, and we would work together to determine the best treatment frequency and duration. Individual CBT-i tends to be 5-10 sessions. My goal is to equip you with practical tools and strategies that promote lasting relief, improved well-being, and a better quality of life.

Question 5

Do you work with clients who don't want to do hypnosis?

Accepted Answer

Certainly! You always have a choice about whether or not you want to incorporate hypnosis in any given session - or at all. Some clients prefer more traditional psychotherapy. Besides hypnosis, my eclectic approach includes a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy, with some Gestalt and Psychodynamic influences.

If all that sounds like too much detail, the short answer is that I tailor my approach to each client, and am receptive to feedback as we discover what is most effective!

Question 6

Where can I find information about clinical hypnosis?

Accepted Answer

The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) is a wonderful organization that not only trains and certifies licensed clinicians (including yours truly!), but also provides education about hypnosis. Click here (https://asch.net/about-hypnosis/)for a wealth of information about clinical hypnosis.
