Therapists in Merrimack County, NH

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 15+ years of experience working with tweens, teens, adults, and couples who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and/or depression, struggling to adjust to a life change, or coping with a medical diagnosis. I have expertise in supporting women & couples dealing with infertility and pregnancy/perinatal loss. Also, in supporting women in the postpartum period. I am particularly sensitive to the impact of culture on an individual or family's experience of mental and physical health symptoms.

My greatest hope for people is that they realize investing in one's self is the most precious gift. Entering into therapy can be frightening to some and it takes courage to ask for help. I have a great deal of faith in people and know that anyone who wants to grow, learn and heal from the inside out can do so. My approach is holistic, encompassing the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of self.

I am currently accepting new clients as well as within my practice we are accepting new clients. Please contact me if you are interested in working with myself one of my new clinicians. Do you ever feel lonely, even though you are surrounded by others or just dissatisfied with life in general? Do your relationships feel broken but you aren't sure how to fix them? You may be struggling with trying to identify why you feel this way. Or maybe its hard for you to accept that you cannot change these thoughts on your own; after all, I'm sure you have tried.

Relationship stress, grief, loss, life transitions, a lack of sync or control can all feel overwhelming. When our minds and bodies are out of balance, emotional reactions can intensify, create chronic stress, and lead to other chronic illnesses. Regardless of how great your support system is, it's not easy for friends and family to remain neutral or even patient when you need to talk about what's bothering you. It can cause more frustration and decrease connection. When there are complex or long term pains and struggles, collaborating with someone who IS neutral and focused on YOUR needs helps facilitate healing and lasting peace!

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor providing counseling to individuals and couples. My approach to therapy is based on the belief that the safety of the therapeutic relationship provides an environment in which awareness develops, growth happens, and solutions are created. I use a positive, strengths-based approach, employing skills based on individual needs of clients. My clinical experience includes working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, gender identity issues, sexual orientation issues, child and adolescent behavioral struggles, co-parenting, divorce, life transitions and grief.

I am committed and passionate about helping individuals improve their quality of life. Sometimes we have such uncomfortable feelings that we don't know how we will make it through the day. Sometimes really bad things happen to us and around that we might not know how to manage. Sometimes our bodies and minds take over and we feel like we have no control over our lives. We try to understand and control the symptoms: the anxiety, depression, anger, headaches, insomnia, stomach pain and fatigue. Sound familiar? I believe that understanding the mind-body connection is the first step to improving your mental health and well-being.

Life has challenges and sometimes to meet those challenges we need additional tools, insight and support. Therapy provides a relationship and space you need in order to take a look at the challenges life has thrown at you and how you have navigated them so far. Do the skills you have still work for you? Is there something holding you back from living the meaningful, purposeful life you had imagined? Therapy can be a place to take stock of where you are, where you want to go, and help you develop a plan to get there.

By seeking out therapy, you're already doing the most important step - showing motivation to change.

Discussing sex and sexuality can feel awkward or challenging. Many of us are taught to feel shameful about our bodies, the ways we love, and the ways in which we experience pleasure.

I offer individual and partnered sessions - romantic, platonic, play, lifestyle, D/s, or any other meaningful partner.
