About Me
I have been working with people experiencing a stressful transition or crisis in their lives for over fifteen years, first as a Unitarian Universalist Minister, and then as a psychotherapist. I am grounded in spiritual resourcing, especially Buddhism, with an emphasis on mindfulness and acceptance. I am a somatic-based therapist, which means I integrate with other evidence based methodologies—including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and InternalFamily Systems Therapy.
I have a Master of Social Work from Boston University and a Master of Divinity from Andover Newton Seminary at Yale Divinity School. I am currently an advanced level practitioner of Somatic Experiencing®, and as of May 2026, I will have completed the three-year certification. I am a licensed and registered provider in MA and VT.
Testimonials
“Jill helped me thoroughly integrate my spiritual experiences into my overall healing journey. She challenged me to pursue change in my life while also providing a warm and safe container to explore conflicts within myself and with those I love. She is a grounded, real, and inviting therapist!”
-A Former Client
“After my son's death, I was feeling empty, hopeless, unable to face life challenges and hesitant to get counseling services. Jill maintains a warm, respectful and non-judgmental, professional setting, conducive to building trust. I feel comfortable sharing my personal feelings, experiences and concerns, knowing that Jill will validate them and help me address them with attainable coping strategies.
Now I feel more hopeful, and am able to focus on positive experiences and address daily challenges. I highly recommend Jill to anyone seeking effective and compassionate guidance.”
