*I currently have a wait list* Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, unresolved childhood grief, a difficult life transition, a betrayal or the effects of trauma? I work with adults of all ages with a variety of presenting issues. Emotional relief, mental clarity, improved self direction and improved relationships are some of the real outcomes of either brief or longer term therapy. With over 20 years of experience in private practice and community mental health settings my training includes a combination of Psychodymanic, Trauma, Grief, DBT skills, and Family/Group therapy.

I personally want to welcome you in taking the first steps to bettering your life and well being! My goal in therapy is to help and assist being the best YOU—whatever that means. Therapy requires you to give and take, and the more you are open and honest about your strengths, as well as your struggles, the more meaningful the process will be. My goal is for you to not only feel a reduction of negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; but to also find the “silver linings”, the little moments of comfort and hope throughout your therapeutic experience!

Emotional and relational peace, joy, and power can feel impossible and elusive sometimes. But, often it takes one small first step to shift your life towards greater health. I love working with people ready to invite themselves to take that small step and see where it leads. If you've been struggling with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship problems, upsetting personal experiences, or life transitions/losses, I hope you'll take the small step.

I have worked in community mental health centers, school counseling and private practice in California, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I provide a safe space to treat various issues for children twelve and above as well as adults and couples. I often utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, yet I often incorporate other approaches depending on my clients needs. I view therapy as a collaborative experience with my clients whom I walk beside and support during our process together. I assist my clients to focus on their personal therapy goals and provide the tools and encouragement to facilitate positive change and personal empowerment.

"Liminality" refers to the middle stage of change, the threshhold between what was, and what is yet to be. It is when, and where, we are forced by circumstance or choice to leave behind what is familiar, and to journey into a place of uncertainty. It is a normal part of being human. I named my practice Liminal Therapy to honor the process of change and human resilience. My clients are adults (18+) and include people with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, addictions, and issues related to the stressors of life stages and transitions. Diversity and multicultural wisdom traditions are welcome and appreciated.

I particularly enjoy working with individuals who have struggled with, or are resistant to traditional therapy. Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, and for many, it can be difficult to express these feelings using only words. Instead, we see changes in behavior which are often concerning for loved ones, and confusing for the individual. When working with clients, I frequently incorporate experiential activities to support them as they process experiences, discover individual strengths, and develop new skills to move through life with confidence.

I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, alone, stressed, or misunderstood, the gift of therapy can help. I provide a compassionate therapeutic approach to guide and challenge you through growth and healing. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to share their journey. I empower people by helping them to trust in themselves and learn to ride the waves of life with more confidence and strength. My approach provides individuals with learning through laughing, crying, and mindfulness.

No matter how challenging your problem may seem, you can benefit from treatment. Whether you're questioning your substance use or abuse, have been court-referred for counseling, or someone you love is affected, I’m here to help you build a strong support system and set reachable goals to achieve a balanced life – a life that doesn’t rely on substances. My #1 priority is guiding you through self-exploration on your path to recovery. In my long-term experience helping people heal from addiction and related issues, my clients have described me as non-judgmental, compassionate, accessible, personable and, above all, a good listener.

I provide counseling to individuals on a variety of issues including depression/anxiety,anger management, substance abuse, addiction, compulsive behaviors,and stress management. Counseling sessions are tailored to your goals: either short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing ongoing personal growth. If you are looking for ways to gain a better understanding of yourself, change old behavior patterns, learn new ways to cope with stress then counseling can help you. What you can expect from counseling is compassion, and understanding, new perspectives on negative feelings and behaviors, and strategies for creating positive changes in your life.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed? It can be so scary and frustrating to think that your mind, emotions, and behaviors are out of your control. Whether this is a new feeling or you've struggled for a long time, I'm so glad you are reading my profile and thinking about seeking help. My focus is on empowering my clients to achieve their full potential and lead more rewarding lives. I am committed to providing a warm, caring environment where we can work together to clarify your struggles and set manageable, attainable goals.

I am honored to be able to provide clinical services to those suffering from Substance Use Disorders. My ideal in practice is to form a strong, collaborative, therapeutic relationship with my clients. My style is empathetic, compassionate, and direct. I believe that by exploring thoughts, emotions, and maladaptive behavior patterns, we can become more insightful and understanding of ourselves. Through this vulnerable process we are able to create life-long change that will increase self esteem and the ability to form close interpersonal relationships with those we care about.

Being 60+ and a hospice volunteer has heightened my sensitivity to the issues of aging well. My belief is that people are inherently resilient, and therefore capable of seeing the past in a way that can benefit the future. The therapeutic process is a blend of science and art, parallel to life, a journey (with frequent benchmarks) rather than a destination.

We can do hard things-Glennon Doyle. These times are filled with uncertainty, change, and great opportunity. Therapy can help you find ways to manage uncertainty and overwhelm, feel calmer, more connected, and balanced. Together we will create a trusting and respectful space where you can pause and truly listen to yourself. I will invite you to grow in understanding and appreciation of your strengths and struggles. With this awareness, we will work on developing new habits and skills in responding vs. reacting, enabling you to choose your path forward with confidence.

I am accepting new clients for Telehealth sessions only at this time. I have deep appreciation for the strength it takes to reach out for support when life becomes overwhelming, stressful or we find ourselves stuck. Recognizing that we might be in need of support can be difficult, I see it as a bold and courageous endeavor that can lead to a happier and more enriched life. I utilize an eclectic approach in my practice to support my clients with managing a variety of mental health issues, to assist in finding symptom relief, to work towards achieving improved relationships and overall increased life satisfaction.

TELETHERAPY is here! We offer hope, education and treatment to people in all phases of decision making around substance use or other problematic behaviors. Education on reducing anxiety, stress and building confidence and harmony.

We also provide court ordered anger mngmnt, domestic violence and substance use disorder evaluations. We are an IDSP Provider for DWI aftercare.

Helping people feel whole again! This is a puzzling time for most! We all have parts of us from depressed, critical, worried to parts that are kind, happy and loving. All of these parts together make us the person we are. Although it is usually in an effort to help, sometimes different parts of us take over at the wrong time or do something that doesn’t seem to be helpful. Get support to uncover and be aware of what part is being activated so that you can begin to see things as yourself instead of as a part of you that is broken. Develop skills and awareness as you take a journey to towards feeling more like yourself again.

I am a Masters level Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor with over 30 years of experience in the assessment, treatment, and prevention of addictions and co-occurring disorders. I specialize in the treatment of opiate dependence, and work closely with medical providers in that specialty. I also have extensive experience with DWI aftercare services, as well as court-mandated counseling. I am available to provide substance use evaluations for courts, schools, attorneys, and families.

I offer compassionate and confidential psychotherapy to adults and couples. I believe that the aim of psychotherapy is to slow down and reflect on your feelings, on your relationships and on the patterns in your life that are stuck. Psychotherapy is beneficial to manifest who you would like to become and to live more authentically. Inherently, psychotherapy is concerned with relieving suffering, developing a deeper understanding of yourself, increasing self-acceptance and creating your individual path in life.
