Internet Addiction Therapists in Dover, NH

Wellness is more than an absence of problems; it is an experience of living life to the fullest. Recognizing that the resources for healing and negotiating interpersonal conflicts already exist within us, I rely on a sensitive understanding of each individual and the unique abilities they can further develop to achieve their goals.

I'm excited that a part of you is curious about ways to get support for whatever life has thrown at you. This is a puzzling time for most! There may be a part of us that is anxious, depressed, critical, scared or many other sensations that can take a hold of us. For years and even decades we have formed our own ways of dealing with things with the tools we had available. There is help and support for all of us from the world outside of us and from the world within us. Mental health and addiction are quiet illnesses that we often don't want to share or acknowledge.

As a cognitive behavioral therapist with over 25 years experience in the mental health field, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

You may be here because you want to be able to adapt to a new transition, acknowledge and process difficult emotions, and engage in growth. Wherever you are in the process, I will meet you where you're at to help you get to where you want to be. Therapy asks that you be vulnerable, trusting, ready for change, and willing to do the work and I am honored to be considered as your therapist.

I provide counseling to individuals on a variety of issues including depression/anxiety,anger management, substance abuse, addiction, compulsive behaviors,and stress management. Counseling sessions are tailored to your goals: either short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing ongoing personal growth. If you are looking for ways to gain a better understanding of yourself, change old behavior patterns, learn new ways to cope with stress then counseling can help you. What you can expect from counseling is compassion, and understanding, new perspectives on negative feelings and behaviors, and strategies for creating positive changes in your life.

Behavior is more complex than simple choice. Behaviors develop over time and are impacted by various internal and external factors. Our approach to facilitating behavior change recognizes that each individual's unique situation and the factors that contribute to their choices and behaviors can be understood. Together, we can use this understanding to create a plan for change. Two underutilized interventions for behavior change are cue desensitization and environmental engineering. We will join you in your environment in order to most effectively foster these changes in your life.

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.

I enjoy working with people who want to learn about themselves and their relationships and develop insight into their behavior. It isn't easy to ask for help. Sometimes, when we aren't able to solve things on our own, therapy can be a great resource. Clients tell me that I help them make the changes they want. I believe in providing you a safe and supportive place to explore your life. I have twenty-five years of experience and am committed to assisting you understand yourself and grow. People I've worked with have described me as warm and easy to talk to.
