Therapy for Adults, Children, Teens, Families, & Couples in New Hampshire.

Telehealth and in-person sessions are available.

Welcome

Life is hard enough. You do not have to do it alone.

The difference between getting through the inevitable hard times versus getting stuck is having someone walk through it with you. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and here are some ways I can help:

 
 

Therapy for Adults

You feel stuck. Perhaps you have been through loss, and it feels hard to move forward. Or maybe you are not sure exactly why you feel unhappy, but you know you need a change.

  • In a supported, curious, and empathic space, we can work together to help you feel better about yourself and hopeful about your future.

    Some issues that I work with include:

    • Depression

    • Anxiety

    • Grief

    • Trauma

    • Professional Growth

    • Relationship Issues

    • Parenting Issues

    • Transitional life stages

 

Therapy for Children and Teens

You love your child, but lately, they have not been themselves. You feel like you do not know how to be with them anymore. They seem overwhelmed, worn down, or anxious. The tension is palpable and weighs heavy on your heart.

You want to feel like they are living up to their fullest potential. Or maybe you simply want to have fun with your child again and have things feel easier and lighter.

  • Today, teenagers face a combination of internal and external pressures and challenges that can be more than they can bear and beyond what a family can manage on their own.

    I have worked with children and teens of all ages for over 25 years with the following:

    • Issues at school or school refusal

    • Sleep and stress-related issues

    • Anxiety and OCD

    • Depression

    • Argumentativeness

    • Family conflict

    • Problems with peers

    • Oppositional defiant behavior

 
 
 

 Couples Therapy

You and your partner are struggling to connect. Your attempts to communicate and resolve issues have been unsuccessful. You are not sure how to improve it, and you know you cannot continue this way. It may be hard to talk about certain issues without it turning to conflict or just avoiding the issues altogether.

  • You want to find a way to talk to each other about the things that matter and not just stay stuck in the same old patterns and routines. You want to feel close to your partner and secure in your relationship.

    I am a Certified EFT Couples Therapist. I help couples deal with issues such as:

    • Work-life balance

    • Parenting

    • Blended family dynamics

    • Infidelity and betrayal

    • Sex and intimacy

    • Coping with extended family

    • Talking about money

    • Dealing with health issues

    • Grief, loss, and life transitions

Family Therapy

Working with a whole family together allows everyone to be on the same page and tap into the incredible healing power that a family can have. Each member of a family has an impact on the others. I work holistically by attending to each member and this gives me the chance to have the greatest impact on your family’s well-being.

  • I have over 25 years of experience working with families, and they see some of the following results:

    • Improved communication

    • Less conflict

    • Building/repairing trust

    • Greater ability to handle inevitable changes and transitions

    • Less tension, being at ease

    • Encouraging autonomy and connection

    • More empathy for one another’s challenges

    • Better ability to recognize issues before they even start

 Strategies we may use together

EFT

  • Learn about your relationship style with yourself, your partner, family, friends, and coworkers. Discover new ways to relate to yourself and others that can help you break out of patterns you've been stuck in. Increase your success at connecting with others in meaningful ways.

Mindfulness

  • Learn to recognize how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors work together in a feedback loop. Build a toolkit of strategies to end these negative loops before they even begin.

CBT

  • Gain the ability to tune in to your center and ground yourself, even when things are challenging. Learn how to pause before you speak or act. Increase intention and integrity. Reduce stress, think more clearly, control emotion, be more patient, and sleep better.
