Therapists in North Conway, NH

How do I even begin? My brain never turns off. Palms sweating, pulse racing, can’t breathe. Constantly feeling like I’m one step away from imploding. I would say losing my mind but I’m pretty sure that’s already gone. Its either all of that or nothing, just feeling numb and disconnected. Haven’t had one positive thought about myself or believe I’m even capable of anything. Not sure how I can ever take a step towards healing from all that life has dumped on me. Those around me don’t understand. Doing anything I can to survive, even if it hurts me. Constantly surviving one moment to the next.

I am a licensed independent social worker (aka mental health therapist) in FL, WA, MA, NH and ME. Therapy is a partnership and part of my job is to hold up the mirror for you to look at yourself. While using the therapeutic space to vent and process is an important component, I see the most progress in people who recognize things they want to change while in session and then take action to make those changes while out in the world. It is MY goal to meet you where you're at as you navigate YOUR goals; you are the expert on yourself and it's important to me that, together, we really hone in on what it is that YOU want to focus on.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress? Using substances in order to cope? Let me help! I have been in practice since 2008 helping individuals learn ways of coping with the stressors of life, working through traumatic memories and experiences that can hold you back from living your best life. I offer a personalized, compassionate connection in therapy to ensure that you feel comfortable and have trust in the process to wellness and recovery.

I am a Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. My scope of practice includes counseling for those struggling with drug and/or alcohol issues for themselves or those in their lives as well as mental health issues. I have worked with clients of all ages for nearly 25 yrs. I provide drug and alcohol evaluations with a lead time of at least one month. I primarily meet with clients at the end of the day by Zoom/phone, now throughout New Hampshire.

I am accepting new clients. If you're not doing, thinking or feeling your best- than you owe it to yourself to do something about it. A counselor can be useful to you by helping you figure out what you want to do. Whether you want to learn to communicate better, improve your self-esteem, perform better academically, socially, athletically or if you want to free yourself from an addiction or from feelings of anxiety/depression/grief, or if you want to improve your relationships- counseling can be very useful. In terms of style, I'm a "regular, easy going guy" who will listen.

Are you or a loved one suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction? Has something traumatic happened, such as illness, injury, a family member's death, or abuse? Are you having difficulty with your relationships? These are just some of life's many challenges that can leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, angry, or ashamed. If you are tired of feeling this way and ready to make changes that will lead to more fulfillment, joy, and peace in your life, then allow me to put my decade's worth of experience working with adults, couples, and teens to work for you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life right now?

Now accepting new clients. Everyone is at a crossroads during their life that they need to talk about issues that they struggle with. Whether it be loss of a love one, battling a substance use issue, a mood disorder or coping with an intellectual disability. Clients have a wide variety of issues that they are seeking to manage and to cope with in a better way. Many times a client is seeking someone to help them make sense out of something that, at least to them in the beginning, seems to be senseless. Answers and ways of moving their life into a forward motion is what many people seek in counseling.
