I work with couples stuck in conflict, feeling disconnected, or unsure how to rebuild, as well as adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and complex family dynamics. In sessions, I balance warmth with accountability: I’ll support you fully and also challenge you when it matters, because growth happens when insight turns into action.
As a woman of color, I strive to create a safe, affirming space for all clients, especially those from marginalized or underrepresented backgrounds. I integrate a culturally informed lens when it supports the work, to best fit each client’s client’s background and experience.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), I’m uniquely trained in psychotherapy and family systems to understand how relationships, family patterns, and lived experiences shape who we are. I bring warmth, humor, and lived wisdom as an older adult to help you make sense of where you’ve been and grow toward where you want to be
I’m a Marriage & Family Therapy Candidate for Licensure in New Hampshire, practicing under the supervision of Dr. Marissa A. Mosley, LMFT. That means you benefit not only from my full attention and care, but also from the guidance of a seasoned supervisor. If you’re looking for a therapist who is both empathetic and direct, I’d be honored to support you.
