Therapists in Wolfeboro, NH

Compassion and safety, metaphors and stories, laughter and creativity, brainstorming and education are some of the tools I will combine to help you feel understood, heal, and then grow. I will adjust my style to what I sense you need as a whole person: body, mind, and spirit. I frame my work in psychodynamic theory, while using cognitive-behavioral and experiential techniques. I infuse all sessions with the principles of mindfulness. I can help you organize your thoughts on difficult decisions, coach you to be more assertive, and help you establish better boundaries. I will teach you a variety of coping skills for managing stress.

I offer healing, strength based psychotherapy to people who are struggling with trauma, anxiety and depression. Oftentimes this may be the result of child abuse, bullying, sexual trauma, illness, death, domestic violence , natural disasters or everyday life challenges.

(Currently Not Accepting New Clients) I provide counseling to people with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD and substance use. I work with clients who are age 14 and older, I enjoy working with people of all ages. My interest in non-invasive techniques and complimentary treatments would likely be attractive to patients with similar interests. I believe that patients have the ability heal their own struggles and my role is to provide support and guidance to patients as they go through this journey.

There are many circumstances that we face in life that are not our fault and often are out of control. Though this may be true, it is still our responsibility to learn from these situations and heal. This takes courage and strength. I would be honored to support you through the journey.

Are you looking for a path toward more fulfillment personally and in your relationships? Engaging in a rich and meaningful life requires knowing ourselves deeply and acting on intentional choices guided by our core values, feelings, and desires. Our relationships can become more intimate as we develop both clarity about our needs and courage to be vulnerable with those we trust to meet us on this level. I love supporting women in deepening the capacity for presence, emotional intimacy, and pleasure through mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.

I am only accepting clients for EMDR Intensives. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed? Are you struggling to manage your emotions? Maybe you’ve been living with emotional pain or experiencing intrusive thoughts and memories that are affecting your ability to live life fully? These feelings can make life even more challenging! I'll work with you to find what will best meet your needs. I use talk therapy, interwoven with mindfulness, expressive arts, and an awareness of the body and mind connection. My approach is warm and accepting and I strive to assist clients in increasing self-understanding, acceptance, and compassion.

At this time I have no availability. I offer a safe, non judgmental and caring environment in which you can feel comfortable expressing your needs and desires for your future. I believe that you are the "expert" on your life and have the answers within you. My skill is helping you unearth and use these skills to move forward and feel more at ease and develop a healthy sense of self and direction in life. Being aware of our thoughts feelings and emotions can help us to stop being in an automatic loop and live our life with intention and purpose.

Are you completely stressed out? Overwhelmed? Exhausted? Feeling down and wondering how you will ever feel better? Are you discouraged by what feels like a lack of progress toward your goals despite what feels like a huge effort on your part to change? I offer strength-based psychotherapy using a client-centered, compassionate approach in a judgment-free, confidential space. As a certified yoga instructor with 10+ years of experience teaching all levels, I infuse traditional talk therapy with mindfulness principles, breath work and relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety, stress, and tension in the body.

Supporting individuals toward their sense of wholeness is my therapeutic purpose. Every individual has their own journey; a path of unfolding understanding through their processes of the body, mind and emotion. My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning the whole being - one's body, emotion, cognition and the being's essence (spirit/soul) are important variables in the process of wellness and healing. When appropriate, and consent is given, therapeutic touch is a supportive modality to support the Client in accessing bodily held, maladaptive and traumatic experiences.

We all have a story. I believe our stories and experiences deserve a trusting space to process free from judgment. Within the therapeutic relationship, I aim to empower individuals to honor their stories with empathy through nuances of language and self-exploration. When we are given a validating space to understand ourselves in relation to our experiences, we are capable of making meaningful changes in our lives. Through curiosity and collaboration, I support people’s natural ability to heal in the wake of hardship.

I provide a calm and compassionate environment for individuals to grow and to heal. I utilize the idea of holistic well-being and pull from a variety of modalities to assist in the therapeutic process. Some modalities I use include, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness.

I am accepting new clients. My practice centers on a commitment to people being heard and respected regardless of the challenges that they may be experiencing. I will help you to understand how your thoughts, feelings and core beliefs influence choices in your world.
