Therapists in Stratham, NH

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 18 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, families, and adults in diverse settings. I currently offer therapy services to help you process a variety of challenges; some may be strategies to handle difficult emotions and memories related to trauma, manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges, and guide you in developing strategies to help you feel more grounded and like yourself again.

I work with people on a variety of issues, typically those struggling with anxiety/depression, stress management, substance use and addiction. There are moments in our lives that feel extra stressful or overwhelming and this is perhaps more true today given these especially challenging times. This is when having strong, healthy coping strategies and the right tools can help us feel back in control with the ability to better manage life again.

Life can have a way of tossing us around and undermining our sense of self and belonging. The focus of my practice is people who have ADD/ADHD or symptoms related to ADD/ADHD such as weak Executive Function which can lead to Anxiety and related Depression.

Clients between the ages of 6 to 26 and their families. My specialties include skill building to support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, anger management, emotional regulation, bullying, relationship issues, and other mental health symptoms. I love working with children of blended families, those going through divorce, and individuals who have experienced loss. I have found success building rapport by incorporating elements of pop culture, video games, board games, Legos, & movies. I utilize various expressive art modalities to help them express themselves. I believe there is no “One size fits all” with treatment.

Whether or not you have experienced therapy before, I would be honored to help you. It is a privilege to learn about, grow with, and support you throughout the therapeutic process. I primarily work with clients struggling with Depression, Grief + Loss, Life Transition, Stress, Self-Esteem, and other areas of difficulty. Therapy helps you show up as your authentic self and feel safe and supported along the way, to find peace with yourself and in life.

Late teens, Adults and Elders who are experiencing anything from life stressors, to complex and overlapping diagnoses, and who want evidence-based treatment in a relaxed and supportive environment are a great fit for us.

If you are going through something and need some support, it would be my honor to try to help you out. What you might face now may have something to do with the past, and may also impact the future for the worse if something isn't done now, in the present. I would enjoy working with you to consider the past and future while also focusing on the present as much as possible in order to glean what is most within your control, what are your resources and options, your abilities and limitations, how do we honor and validate these while also encouraging some change, and how do we tolerate what is outside of our control, etc.

The sexual part of your life is not where you want it to be and you are desperate for change. You and your partner are worried that something might be wrong with you or your relationship. You don’t know where to go for help. This sexual issue is keeping you from being happy and you and/or your partner are depressed and anxious all the time. You think about this all the time. You feel like you don’t know enough about sex and you certainly don’t know how to solve this problem, even though you have tried. No one taught you how to have a healthy and positive sexual identity, so how are you supposed to know how to fix this?
