Culturally Sensitive Therapists in West Lebanon, NH

What inspires you? What scares you?  What do you most often shout from the rooftops?  What do you sometimes try to avoid thinking or feeling? I provide supportive and challenging psychotherapy for clients interested in identifying their complex narratives.  We will search for the patterns and themes that are creating barriers to healing and will locate those that enhance your ability to live authentically.  My social worker lens leads me to work with you to name and examine the societal systems most impacting you.

Greetings! I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides evidence-based psychotherapy and assessment for children, adolescents, and adults. I use an integrated approach, drawing on principles of attachment, developmental theory, and trauma-informed care.

If you are experiencing difficulties with barriers and obstacles impacted by past trauma, memories, and sustained traumatic affect, and are motivated to enhance your life experience, we will work together to find the path which moves you forward. By using different methods to tune into what feels most organic to your process, we will work together to find the most effective way to reach sustainable emotional growth to increase self regulation and self reliance. I hold BA from Brown Univ., MFA from U. of Calif., Riverside in Experimental Choreography: traumatic memory, MA in Trauma & Violence Studies from NYU, and MSW Fordham Univ.

Are you running on autopilot, feeling anxious, stressed, and over indulging? Are you reactive based on past traumatic experiences? Find more EASE through therapy based on neuroscience and mindfulness. Develop resilience by learning to briefly experience distress and then return to safety. Lessen anxiety by becoming aware of the trigger, behavior and result of your anxiety. Change a habit by learning short practices that you implement at home when you experience craving or overwhelming feelings.

My clinical experience includes assessment and therapy services to adults, young adults, adolescents and families with over 15 years in experience in the field in various environments. I want to be sure that therapy can be approachable and useful for everyone, adapting to the needs of the person, while having a grounding in cognitive-behavioral approaches.

Deciding to work with a therapist is an important step. Finding the right therapist can be challenging. My style is one of openness and curiosity, bringing the most current theories and perspectives in psychotherapy to my work with couples and individuals. Continually learning from the explosion of knowledge happening in the world of the body, emotions, and brain, I teach my patients about how the brain works to regulate their emotions. I've trained extensively throughout the past 30 years to incorporate highly effective therapy methods into my clinical practice (described below).

Accepting new clients! Supporting BIPoC, LGTBQIA2s+, women, children (6+), adolescents, and couples. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, traumatic stress, and confidence issues I am here to help. I blend evidence-based modalities with a person-centered approach. Recognizing we are living in uncertain times, I also offer therapeutic support to those who are immunocompromised and navigating a new way of living. We can work together to map a path and get you to the life that you desire to live!

Sometimes on our journey we need an objective guide. I can help you enhance your ability to manage problems involving "big feelings” that otherwise overwhelm. If your goal is to start getting new results for old recurring problems we can do that with compassion and curiosity. It is important to explore our personal history to understand why we think or behave the ways we currently do. While personal growth isn't always painless, you don't have to be alone in the process if you have a therapist who will commit to the process along side of you. I can help you gain new perspectives that will get you to solve problems effectively.

I support adults feeling overwhelmed by the stress of day to day life, particularly through moments when it feels insurmountable. Everyone deserves space to process all they’re going through and I offer one where you can feel supported and heard, free from judgment. I work with individuals facing a range of challenges including anxiety, life transitions, managing challenging family relationships, and developing healthy boundaries, to name a few. We work together to uncover patterns and behaviors that leave you feeling stuck and find the moments when unkind thoughts and beliefs have taken the place of self-compassion.

You feel like the black sheep of your family; like you never really fit anywhere. You feel like something is “off” but can’t quite put your finger on what is causing your discomfort. You may feel like you’re stuck in your past, unable to move forward and create the life you want. You’re tired of the same unsatisfying relationships that happen over and over again. You crave closeness with others but find it difficult to let people in. You worry about people leaving you. You might feel or have even been told by family in one way or another that you’re the problem.
