Why Equinox?
When I was a kid, my family spent a lot of time in and around Manchester, Vermont. I climbed Equinox Mountain countless times back then, and it left a lasting impression on me. Years later, as an adult and a practicing therapist, the concept of the equinox has taken on a much deeper personal and clinical significance.The equinox marks a point of balance—when light and dark exist in equal measure—and a moment of transition between seasons. I’ve come to see this idea of balance not as a state of perfect stillness, but as an ongoing, active process of adjustment, integration, and realignment. It also holds a quieter truth: that out of the darkness, light comes—sometimes gradually, sometimes unexpectedly, but reliably over time.Many people arrive at therapy feeling pulled to extremes—overwhelmed or shut down, disconnected from others, angry or placating, caught between polarized parts of themselves, or managing an ADHD nervous system that feels constantly out of rhythm. My goal is to help you move toward a greater sense of internal and external balance.Moving From Extremes to Alignment
The natural mechanics of the equinox offer a meaningful map for the work we do together:
Embodied Balance: Trauma, relationship strain, or a nervous system that runs on ADHD time can leave you swinging between extremes — shut down or overwhelmed, hyper-focused or burned out. Therapy helps you find steadier ground: more calm, more clarity, and more freedom to live fully as who you are.
Transition & Renewal: Like the equinox itself, therapy is a season of shedding what no longer serves you, tending to old wounds, and getting steadier in the present so you're ready for what's next.
Deep Integration: I don't think of healing as getting rid of parts of yourself. It's about helping the different pieces of you — even the ones in conflict — learn to work together instead of against each other.
Relational Alignment: Healthy relationships need balance too. Therapy can help repair the ruptures, restore a sense of fairness and shared effort, and rebuild real connection with the people you love.
Healing isn't about fixing something "broken" inside you. It's about helping the different parts of your experience — your history, your emotions, your own wiring — come into a more connected, workable relationship with each other.
