Therapists in 05047

I work with adolescents, college students, and adults and approach therapy from a psychodynamic perspective. I also integrate IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Brainspotting, and use mindfulness and cognitive based approaches depending on an individual's needs. Therapy involves working in a safe environment to develop greater awareness and insight in to one's relationships with oneself and others, one's identity, and one's purpose in life. I feel honored to work with individuals on these important life issues.

After 20 years of practice, I have observed that meaningful change is possible for people, no matter how stuck or unhappy one may feel . I look forward to helping you identify and successfully modify issues in your life circumstances or relationships that feel stale, repetitive, or dysfunctional. Through self-exploration, re-examination of your goals, and improved communication of your needs, I will help you move toward living intentionally and fully.

At "Circle Forward" I welcome adults from diverse backgrounds, cultures, experiences, identities & belief systems. I am skilled at supporting people who have been overwhelmed and struggle with "trauma" - unresolved, survival responses (fight, flight, appease & shut down). These natural defensives are essential for dealing with threat. Protective impulses from the past can get stuck & intrude on relationships and on physical, emotional & spiritual rhythms of day-to-day life. I support you to feel safe & allow incomplete survival responses to move slowly & integrate fully. I work online and in Greenfield, MA.

My services are designed to assist in understanding and integrating parts of your life and personality that are resisting integration. Whether these are memories of the past, current conflicts with significant people, unwelcome parts of your own personality or simple unwanted stresses/anxieties, healing them involves learning to view them through a different lens. One tool I like to use in this process is called Compassionate Communication. It's a psycho-spiritual tool that helps to TRANSFORM pain and loss into New Life and New Relationship, much like a compost pile does as it sits in the sun and becomes New Soil.

Children are often puzzling, but when they behave in unexpected ways they are telling us something important. Students who are struggling in school need a system of support to help them succeed. When families, schools, and medical practitioners all work together, the 'picture' starts to emerge. My experience as a family therapist and a school counselor gives me insight into what they are trying to tell us and how their systems can work together to support them. My studies in School Psychology help me to assess issues and write positive behavior support plans.

I am a clinical social worker with an office, easily accessible, in Lebanon, NH. My work is informed by a client centered, strength-based perspective with a trauma focused foundation. My specialty is working with individuals to help them learn to navigate their own internal world and to realize how that can impact their relationships in various areas such as home, school and work.

Are you stuck? Worried about what direction you are going in and wondering why you struggle with relationships? Are you a couple wanting to explore the way you communicate? I work with individuals, couples and people who would like to explore their relationships, goals, communication skills and want to feel more satisfaction in their life journey. I have worked with folks who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, anger and fear and understand we don't live in a bubble but in the structures of our lives (school, relationships, careers, communities, etc.)

**Telehealth sessions only**I have experience working with adults of all ages dealing with a variety of issues to include anxiety, depression, adjustment, and interpersonal difficulties. I also have experience working with individuals dealing with trust issues, communication and interpersonal patterns. I use a strength based approach focusing on the individual needs and strengths of each person.

My work involves counseling and consultation services to adults, children, adolescents and families. By establishing a comfortable, open and safe environment in which clients learn, grow and implement change, I focus on creating a therapeutic alliance and guide my clients to achieve their goals. My approach is client centered, non-judgmental and collaborative. I support youth, adults and families in transition. The main focus of my work is to assist individuals and families to understand and develop the skills they need to cope and thrive.
