Gestalt Therapists in Lebanon, NH

Trained and experienced in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems, I offer counseling to adults, teens, and families that combines strength-based approaches which respect each client's unique history and growth process. I work together with each client to develop treatment goals which reflect that client's hopes and dreams. Client goals may include personal growth, less conflict and more rewarding relationship, family, or work experiences, and release from the haunting effects of the past. For teens and young adults, facilitating the learning of safer alternatives than high-risk behaviors, and a stable satisfying journey towards independence and adulthood.

Not accepting new clients at this time. I work primarily with clients who have Medicare - seniors and others. These are very stressful times, perhaps more so for those of us over 65. People are anxious, not sleeping well, finding it hard to cope, overeating, or turning to other not-so-healthy habits. Therapy, support, hypnosis and coaching CAN help! So can learning to take better care of yourself (including getting enough sleep!) and improving your coping skills. And hypnotherapy can help shift habits and patterns that don't serve you. Please Note: I no longer work with trauma, PTSD, and chronic pain.

Welcome! In our sessions we will focus on present-centered techniques to help you cope with challenging life events, process past trauma, and tune into a joyful and embodied path forward. I believe strongly in your innate wisdom and resiliency and reflect these qualities to you when in session. I am trained in Mindfulness as a counseling technique, EMDR and Gestalt therapy, and offer these as modalities to work with.

I believe human beings are naturally inclined towards health & growth, and that we all encounter unique challenges on our paths of wellness. Whether a transition, unexpected event, interpersonal dynamic, circumstance, or an acute/chronic concern is interrupting your sense of balance and vitality, I will provide an open and caring space for you to explore, seek meaning and clarity, and move in a direction that works best for you. I approach therapy in a collaborative, relational way to support healing and promote wholeness. I draw from various approaches in my work, including somatic, gestalt, interpersonal, narrative, & CBT/DBT.

Trauma. It comes in many shapes and sizes. It affects everyone in different ways, and the effects can be devastating to your self-esteem, physical and mental health, and overall life. You can feel angry; vengeful; depressed; withdrawn; alone; misunderstood. Trauma, in any form, alters us in mostly negative ways; and it doesn’t have to be that way. The first step in healing is to talk to someone you trust. Someone who makes you feel heard; safe; secure. Someone who accepts you unconditionally and seeks to understand so they can help you put those experiences in the past.

I will meet you where you are at and listen with genuine curiosity to understand what your goals are and what is truly important to you. Together, we will tap into your strengths to inspire true growth and change in your life. I believe everybody has the ability to unlock their greatest potential and I can be a guide to help you tap into that potential through empowerment and awareness. We will utilize many different interventions to fit your interests and needs so that our time together can be as healing, engaging, and enjoyable as possible.

It's ok to start therapy just because you think you need a little extra help, even if you are usure of "why". Seeking therapy is a routine and preventive form of healthcare, like going to the dentist. A therapist is like a personal trainer for your mind and your relationships. Perhaps begin by identifying broad motives, your hopes, and your dreams. Consider that your heartfelt thoughts and feelings may be "I just want to be happy." or "I feel stuck" or even "I'm tired of merely going through the motions".
