Therapists in Newmarket, NH

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to provide individual, couple, and family therapy. I work from a systems focused perspective where treatment draws from client strengths, is solution-focused, and family centered. I believe in being supportive and empowering clients in their journey to improve. I enjoy using cognitive behavioral techniques to address concerns such as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and general life stressors.

I find that a client is best served when they are listened to, validated, but also challenged to make positive change. That is why I take a cognitive behavioral approach to the counseling I do. Whether the client is a child or adult we all have the ability to learn from the past and make different choices for the future.

With Sixteen years of experience working in positive modalities with Adults, and Couples, I understand how life can get out of control and become overwhelming. Today, I counsel using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with an emphasis on the "here and now" to assist in a more balanced outcome and realistic achievement of life goals.

I believe that part of moving forward towards change is supporting my clients in finding the solutions within themselves.
