How are you coping with your current stressors? Are your skills working for you? I believe that Counseling is a collaborative effort between the client and the professional. Life today moves much faster and is more complicated than ever before; many people find it helpful to have a supportive, encouraging professional to help sort things out. As different changes come into our lives, it can be reassuring to have someone familiar with the way we think available to help us transition through these changes.

****I do not currently have any available appointment times for after school or evening hours.** I am accepting new clients for daytime hours time, either in-office or virtual. I specialize in working with school-aged children, tweens and teens. I also have a great deal of experiencing working with emergency responder's and their families, including law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, 911 dispatchers, and correctional officers.

Throughout our lives, we all need someone to listen and help guide us. Life provides us many significant successes and challenges and it is easy to feel overwhelmed. We all need to know, and sometimes to be reminded, that we are all worthy of happiness, respect, compassion and love. It is not always easy navigating relationships and understanding one's self-worth. I support individuals, couples and families explore and navigate through challenges of mental health and substance use. Our personal journeys are our own. Living with mental health and/or substance use challenges takes resilience and courage.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, and drug and alcohol counselor I have 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families and children who are trying to improve their lives but sometimes just feel stuck in the process. I have also worked with those suffering from the pain of substance use disorders. Life is like a river that simply wants to move through us. At times, the river may damn up or take an unexpected turn. Therapy can be a resource that reestablishes the "flow" of life and returns us to our true course.

I have been practicing addiction counselor since 2016 in Hampstead New Hampshire. I primarily conduct telehealth but also have an office in Hampstead if you want in person sessions. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, anger management, impaired driver service provider, Battery Intervention, Mindfulness, Nutritional integrative for mental health, and gambling addiction. I have a particular expertise in working with families with addiction, trauma-based therapy, DWI, and those who have been incarcerated for substance abuse related crimes.

I am accepting new clients. My ideal client is one that is motivated to make changes in their life. With this foundation you can leave therapy with confidence that you can get through life’s challenges and appreciate each day life has to offer.
