"I enjoy working with adult individuals and building a safe therapeutic environment for them to explore their strengths, barriers, and potential. I assist individuals to enhance their self-esteem, self-worth, and also validate their experiences. A common practice that I utilize is guiding individuals to identify, restructure, and replace unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors with healthy empowering ones. In addition, I work with individuals on building and positively engaging with a support network, which is crucial in the recovery process."

"I provide psychotherapy to adults with a special interest in women’s mental health, including: perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, pregnancy termination, pregnancy loss, traumatic birth, parenting challenges, and grief and loss. I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches (e.g. DBT, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, and Relapse Prevention) to help people improve their overall quality of life. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and client-centered: It is both informed by science and responsive to the needs of the individual. "

"I enjoy working with individuals in short-term and intensive forms of psychotherapy. People seek therapy for many different reasons. Some people hope for deeper understanding and gratification in their lives. Others may feel stuck in distressing patterns that prevent them from feeling calm or from relating with others. Others may need help with a specific difficulty such as depression, or come to terms with a painful past. Others may want to speak more intentionally or need help with moving through a challenging transition. I provide a quiet and respectful atmosphere for patients to increase their self-confidence and integrate change."

"Are you worrying about things so much and so often that it seems to take up most of your life? Do you experience panic attacks? Are you feeling unhappy in your marriage or other important relationship? Do you have trouble sustaining relationships or even making them? Are you sad most of the time? Does it feel like you live under a black cloud? Is it hard to get motivated? Has your life been affected by trauma or difficult early family relationships? I can help you to cope with these problems and have a more satisfying life."

"We all struggle with relationship issues. We all wish at times for a closer connection with our partner. There is always a way to understand each other's behavior, a way to decode why we do the things we do. I believe that neither person in a relationship is "at fault" but that the pattern of interaction, how partners in a relationship respond to each other, is. I see myself as a knowledgeable guide and helper but you as the experts on yourselves and your relationship goals."

"I aid clients in managing symptoms of depression, anxiety and other difficult experiences through self exploration, increasing a sense of control, and changing problematic patterns. You have unique knowledge of your life and I have an objective viewpoint and training. Through an increased understanding of the various aspects of your concerns and problems, together we can aid you in improving areas in your life that may benefit from change. I am not currently accepting new patients at my Portsmouth NH location. "

"My practice in Portsmouth, NH is now open. Accepting new clients from the Seacoast area and beyond.

When you want to create a change but feel lost in how to create it, I can help with that too. Relationships changes, scary new beginnings, healing old wounds, dealing with stress, anxiety, and sadness- all of these are things I can help you navigate and heal."

"I view therapy as an opportunity to engage in a collaborative process by which the therapist and client work together towards enriching lifestyle and enhancing overall well-being. Accompanying a collaborative approach I also work from a strengths based perspective that amplifies each individual's unique qualities through the process of self-discovery, healing and forgiveness of self and others.

I will adjust my style to what I sense you need as a whole person: body, mind, and spirit. I frame my work in psychodynamic theory, while using cognitive-behavioral and experiential techniques. I infuse all sessions with the principles of mindfulness. I can help you organize your thoughts on difficult decisions, and coach you to be more assertive and establish better boundaries."

"Psychotherapy as I practice it is a dynamic and cooperative interchange between you and I, based in ethics and professional standards, and having as its' goals troublesome symptom reduction and long lasting internal and relational change. Interpersonal patterns and unresolved personal, life and relationship issues are foci for change as they are most causal to anxiety, depression and other symptoms that impede healthy emotional functioning.

I maintain a healthy respect for the interplay between mind and body."

"I have been a practicing psychotherapist in Portsmouth for 25 years, specializing in depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I have also successfully helped clients struggling with trauma, OCD, anger management, prolonged grief, parenting issues, and Bi-polar Disorder. I emphasize a collaborative effort with clients and believe therapy is only successful when there is a positive relationship between the client and the clinician. I have worked with numerous clients who have needed medication at some point in their treatment. I do not rush to recommend medication, but I do work closely PCP's or psychiatrists if medication is necessary."

"Conveniently located in historic downtown Portsmouth, I am a clinician who enjoys working with adults going through major life transitions. Sometimes when a relationship ends, career decisions need to be made, or parenting becomes challenging, it helps to have extra support. Often transitions in life bring significant emotional changes and therapy can sort these out and help someone move forward."

"I created Soul’s Nest Counseling & Wellness with the intention of providing an approachable and safe space for individuals to explore their needs, desires, and pathways for moving forward. My work in the field has taught me that these pathways look different for each and every individual. In honoring the differences in these pathways, we allow the truest form of self to guide the way. By decreasing barriers that might exist outside of the therapeutic environment we allow your true self and authentic set of strengths room to flourish. "

I strive to help my patients reach greater fulfillment in their lives by fostering understanding of the interpersonal patterns and unresolved personal, life and/or relationship issues that contribute to the challenges they face."
