Nova Initia is a collaborative group of therapists with a common goal, to help our clients improve their lives and to grow as individuals. This allows for a unified approach to treatment that focuses on the needs of the client, whether that client is an individual, couple or family. Additionally, our clinicians work closely together to offer our clients a robust supportive environment that understands that while we are all responsible for our own lives and choices, we are also affected by the choices of others.

Many people who come to see me have frequently had disappointing experiences with therapists in the past "We just didn't click" or "all they did was nod their heads and didn't say much". When you run out of ways to make change and don't know how to do it, the last thing you need to feel in therapy is alone. Change takes energy, action, hard work and sometimes the support and guidance of someone to help you make it!

Starting is often the hardest part. We all want to have someone listen to us; someone to understand where we have been, where we want to go & help us find a way to get there. No judgement here, just honest conversation to help you help yourself. Sometimes life takes alternate paths & we could all use a little GPS from time to time. I'm a firm believer that people need people and that we are all in this life together. Let's explore ways to get you to, or back to, the version of yourself that you want to be. Something or someone has driven you to Psychology Today. You don't have to continue feeling this way.

Throughout our lives, we all need someone to listen and help guide us. Life provides us many significant successes and challenges and it is easy to feel overwhelmed. We all need to know, and sometimes to be reminded, that we are all worthy of happiness, respect, compassion and love. It is not always easy navigating relationships and understanding one's self-worth. I support individuals, couples and families explore and navigate through challenges of mental health and substance use. Our personal journeys are our own. Living with mental health and/or substance use challenges takes resilience and courage. I am licensed in NH and MA.

William Arthur Ward once said, "We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them." The passion I carry for the therapeutic process is not only founded on my training and education but also my personal experience. I have faith in one's capacity for growth that comes from the willingness to be honest and courage to face difficult issues. In this life we will encounter many stones in our path. It is up to each individual to choose what they will do with them.

We use 10 acres of land on a farm we revived to give hope toward the pursuit of happiness and wholeness. Growth does not happen in an office; it happens while gardening, trimming hooves, picking eggs, shearing sheep, and chopping wood. We use the land to help you stretch your eyes. Maybe your search is around coping skills or developing interior athletics or just getting active again. Whatever it may be, we will support and guide you in finding wellness. We are prepared to confidentially, professionally, and in an nontraditional manner take some steps in addressing your mental health difficulties. Come join us on this journey.
