AEDP Therapists in Seabrook, NH

Deciding to address challenges in order to feel strong, healthy and living the life you want is an important step. If you are facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, difficult life changes, self-esteem issues, grief, and/or substance abuse, I work collaboratively with you towards improving your mental well-being and your life. I provide a safe, caring, non-judgmental space, and can help you gain insight into problems, fears, and behaviors which may be creating or compounding your difficulties. I will support you in processing your challenges, while exploring problem solving strategies that lead to empowerment and healthy change.

Significant loss, sadness or anxiety can impact our functioning at any point in our lives. A good therapeutic relationship can offer support and clarity. Emotions can seem overwhelming, but having a safe place to process them can be life-changing. Holding emotions alone can create an internal experience of overwhelm, but a connection with a therapist can lessen the feelings of isolation, anxiety, depression and/or stress.

I have been a psychologist in private practice for 38 years in the rural town of Conway, NH. My initial training was in child and family therapy. I have been an Internal Family Systems trainer and therapist, trained in EMDR, AEDP and Nonviolent Communication. My spiritual work has included 20 years as a Zen Student, studied with Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chodron, Roger Costillo and several other non-dual teachers. My work has integrated Spiritual Wisdom and the latest methods offered in Western Psychology. I hope to help clients understand the causes of suffering and find happiness in everyday living regardless of their circumstances.

For over 14 years, I have worked with clients facing challenges such as addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and difficult life changes. Together, we connect with their inner resources of self-compassion, wisdom and courage to uncover their authentic selves. When we cultivate a mindset of awareness and understanding, rather than judgment, we create the space to heal. Life experiences become a vehicle for learning and embracing our strength and resilience, as well as deepening our relationship with self and others. We strengthen our ability to live fully, with curiosity and openness to our journey.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or unsatisfied at home, school, work, or in an important relationship? Is your child struggling socially or academically? I provide a warm, professional, and respectful environment where we will explore the concerns that brought you to therapy. We will work together to develop a coherent narrative of what is working and not working in your life, and draw on my experience and training to cultivate the insights, tools, and resources to create positive change.

I love my work and am in awe of the individuals I work with who courageously address the hurts in their life that prevent them from living more fully. It maybe a crisis in a relationship, ongoing anxiety or depression, a painful trauma, or an inner sense that things are just not right. Together we pay attention to these feelings, enabling them to be talked about, more fully experienced and then understood. This transformative process can restore joy and resilience in life, as well as improve the capacity to care about oneself and be in relationship with others.
