Family Therapy in 03031

I am currently welcoming new clients into my practice who are wanting to make positive changes in their life. My approach is client centered in order to honor each individual's story as well as assist in their healing process. Both my clientele and the therapeutic modalities I use are very eclectic and differ depending on what serves each client best in their life journey. I am passionate about supporting those who struggle with anxieties relating to sense of self, family dynamics, life transitions, perfectionism, and trauma. My goal is to guide you in becoming your unique version of "best self."

At times life presents challenges that can feel overwhelming, confusing and leave us questioning how to overcome them. However, we believe that teaching clients skills to develop greater self-awareness and self-acceptance can provide them the opportunities to manage and survive crisis situations, regulate their emotions, improve their communication in relationships and ultimately take control of their recovery.

No Telehealth. Due to the increase in demand in therapy and time I am available, email is preferred to get back to you in the most timely manner. I work with individuals and couples from a systemic, client focused and strength-based perspective. I have worked with individuals with an array of issues as well including life transitions, anxiety, relationship conflict, grief and loss, as well as trauma. I particularly enjoy assisting clients on the autism spectrum, people with their anxiety, and couples with sexual intimacy issues. I utilize CBT, narrative therapy and solution focused aspects. I also offer supervision for MFTs.

Life has ups and downs and sometimes this can be stressful and overwhelming. If you’re having marital or family challenges, work related problems or struggling with anxiety, depression or chronic pain, I can offer you a safe and comfortable environment to find solutions to get you through these rough times.

If you are going through something and need some support, it would be my honor to try to help you out. What you might face now may have something to do with the past, and may also impact the future for the worse if something isn't done now, in the present. I would enjoy working with you to consider the past and future while also focusing on the present as much as possible in order to glean what is most within your control, what are your resources and options, your abilities and limitations, how do we honor and validate these while also encouraging some change, and how do we tolerate what is outside of our control, etc.

As of May 2024 I have a wait list for new clients. I specialize in couples therapy, anxiety and phase of life issues. I work with couples who are ready and willing to do their part to improve confidence as a partner and build the relationship that they want and deserve. I have experience helping couples regain trust after infidelity or other betrayal, and those facing in-law or parenting conflict, disillusionment, or general loss of connection. I also work with adult individuals to build skills to cope better and appreciate their life. LGBTQIA+ allied. Appointment availability M-F 9:30am-3pm.

Adolescents rock! Adolescence sucks... As the adult emerges, the need to separate and individuate is primal and the ensuing metamorphosis affects all important relationships. Adapting to the rights and responsibilities of the emerging adult can be confusing and frustrating and make for multitudes of conflicts. As a therapist, I am pragmatic and practical, look for ways to support the process of growing up, teach necessary skills to increase interpersonal effectiveness and mindful self-care. My goal is to help individuals understand their needs and as to achieve a sense of fulfillment and independence necessary to satisfying living.

I provide child-centered psychotherapy and coaching services to families struggling with relationship issues, behavior management and poor academic performance. My systemic approach to treatment provides guidance to parents that can help them guide their children and build resilience.

I value creating a therapeutic plan for you that is effective and offers tangible outcomes tailored to meet your personal objectives.

I find the opportunity to work with people in their unique journeys a true blessing. I work with a diverse population, ranging from children to adults. I specialize in the treatment of adolescent females, and women in transitional life phases. I feel I provide a safe, nonjudgemental environment where individuals, couples, and families can work at their own pace to meet their goals. I see a wide variety of ages and have experience in treating many issues.

Hi. I am a licensed psychologist lucky enough to love what I do. I have a thriving private practice working exclusively with adults in individual and couples/marital therapy. Whether you want help with personal/emotional struggles, relationships, stresses of everyday life, or a life crisis, I can help you feel more settled and confident about yourself and your life. Rooted in the present or past, issues including anxiety, depression and self-esteem may be interfering with your happiness and effectiveness. My approach varies with your particular needs but is always rooted in a safe and caring relationship and dedicated to promoting positive change.

We are looking for clients that are motivated to make lasting changes in their lives. Most clients are looking for a nonjudgmental listener that can competently address their presenting issues and provide skills, tools and a trusting therapeutic relationship. As human beings we all have the need to be accepted, heard and understood. Our practice is supportive in nature and our approach is based in attachment and relational psychotherapy. Essentially, we work with people we like and who want to change their lives and the way they function. We manage an interactive client portal to allow supportive communication in between sessions.

I love my work. You may want a quiet, protected space where you can think out loud - with the freedom to follow your thoughts to their own (surprising?) conclusions. Or you may want a more active interaction, a back-and-forth exchange to wrestle with difficult emotions and come out the other side feeling more settled and self-directed in your life. My first job is to meet you wherever you are - wanting help with an immediate crisis, or wishing to explore a past experience that continues to haunt you.

Making a connection and being understood are essential to a positive and productive therapeutic alliance. My clients say they feel relief and gain insight which helps them enjoy a better quality of life and better relationships. I have 2 locations- the Wellness Seed Collective in Amherst and Stepping Stones Farm in Temple. We can meet in the office to explore struggles, develop strategies and resolve issues. We can also go outside to partner with horses for the powerful experiential method of Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy.

It can feel overwhelming to work on who we are while we are also trying to work on the day to day challenges that arise in all of our lives. Often we're told we just need to change our mindset when we know it's bigger than that. You may find you're stuck making the same choices and falling into the same patterns and relationships all the while feeling disconnected from the people and the world around you.

When you look at your present life, what is it you see? When you search your feelings about who you are now, are there changes you want to make? The stress and responsibilities of life can result in feeling depressed, anxious, alone, thinking there is no one who can help you through. I would like to offer you a therapeutic opportunity to create a life you want to live.

**********Please note that I have a waitlist and I am providing telehealth due to COVID******* With over 19 years of counseling experience, I hope to be able to offer you support, skills, and guidance. In the past, I have had the wonderful opportunity to work at two of the large mental health centers in southern NH and currently work in my own private practice in Bedford, NH where I have been for the last 9 years. I have much experience in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, stress management, life changes, grief/bereavement, and relationships challenges.

Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety? Are you unhappy in your relationship? Are you experiencing a stressful life transition? Do you want to lead a more fulfilling and joyful life but just can't seem to get there? If you would like to achieve mastery over your emotions, be supported through a difficult time, have more meaningful relationships, or just experience life in a more positive and fulfilling way, then I can help you. I will work with you to give you the skills you need to reach your goals.

As a seasoned psychologist with extensive experience working with clients across the lifespan, I bring a blend of expertise and empathy to every interaction. My practice is grounded in a person-centered approach, reflecting my deep commitment to understanding each individual's unique story. At the heart of my work lies my strong belief in the power of warmth, understanding, and acceptance. Whether guiding clients through the process of assessment and diagnostics or providing therapy, my experience has been enriched by the diverse narratives I've encountered.
