I have an integrative approach to treating individuals and I focus on compassionate self-acceptance, somatic education and mindfulness in the process of healing. I find worth in learning the language of our nervous system in order to identify our needs in the process of self regulation. We have the tendency to create poor habits to protect ourselves from pain which inevitably exacerbate unwanted mental health symptoms. Clients have mentioned that they appreciate my humor as part of the therapeutic process. It is important that the therapeutic relationship is the right fit for you in your journey to maintain balance and health.

Life can often be challenging. I am here to help those who are at a point in their life where something has to change and the willingness to make that change, whatever that might look like is now present. Whether the problem is life status, relationship or family conflict, oppositional behaviors or substance abuse/addiction, change is possible. Please email me for fastest response.

The amount of time we spend with ourselves pales in comparison to even that of our colleagues, friends, and families. This relationship with the self, and its paramount importance on all things within and without, often becomes the catalyst to seek the benefits of therapy. In life we are impacted by events and experiences outside of our persons. Yet even more so, this journey of the self is ultimately defined by how we respond to these challenges, and not the challenges themselves.

I have worked in community mental health centers, school counseling and private practice in California, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I provide a safe space to treat various issues for children twelve and above as well as adults and couples. I often utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, yet I often incorporate other approaches depending on my clients needs. I view therapy as a collaborative experience with my clients whom I walk beside and support during our process together. I assist my clients to focus on their personal therapy goals and provide the tools and encouragement to facilitate positive change and personal empowerment.

No one person is immune to the trials and tribulations of life ; sometimes a quiet space to explore the ups and downs presented throughout our lifespan can prove helpful in decreasing stress and any unsettled feelings as a result of being overwhelmed - by utilizing therapeutic intervention to address concerns associated with maladaptive coping & overall mental health - the goal is to guide you in living your best life possible!

"Liminality" refers to the middle stage of change, the threshhold between what was, and what is yet to be. It is when, and where, we are forced by circumstance or choice to leave behind what is familiar, and to journey into a place of uncertainty. It is a normal part of being human. I named my practice Liminal Therapy to honor the process of change and human resilience. My clients are adults (18+) and include people with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, addictions, and issues related to the stressors of life stages and transitions. Diversity and multicultural wisdom traditions are welcome and appreciated.

I particularly enjoy working with individuals who have struggled with, or are resistant to traditional therapy. Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, and for many, it can be difficult to express these feelings using only words. Instead, we see changes in behavior which are often concerning for loved ones, and confusing for the individual. When working with clients, I frequently incorporate experiential activities to support them as they process experiences, discover individual strengths, and develop new skills to move through life with confidence.

I am honored to be able to provide clinical services to those suffering from Substance Use Disorders. My ideal in practice is to form a strong, collaborative, therapeutic relationship with my clients. My style is empathetic, compassionate, and direct. I believe that by exploring thoughts, emotions, and maladaptive behavior patterns, we can become more insightful and understanding of ourselves. Through this vulnerable process we are able to create life-long change that will increase self esteem and the ability to form close interpersonal relationships with those we care about.

Being 60+ and a hospice volunteer has heightened my sensitivity to the issues of aging well. My belief is that people are inherently resilient, and therefore capable of seeing the past in a way that can benefit the future. The therapeutic process is a blend of science and art, parallel to life, a journey (with frequent benchmarks) rather than a destination.

I focus on working with couples and individual adults who are dealing with trauma, identity/cultural issues, depression, anxiety, or past trauma (such as abuse, neglect, or separation from, or loss of, loved ones). I can help you excavate your past trauma in a way that helps you understand it, and how it may be impacting what is going on with you in the present moment so you can feel more in control of your body, your emotions, your thoughts, and your relationships. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please go to www.alliancementalhealth.org and get in touch to set up an appointment.

I am accepting new clients for Telehealth sessions only at this time. I have deep appreciation for the strength it takes to reach out for support when life becomes overwhelming, stressful or we find ourselves stuck. Recognizing that we might be in need of support can be difficult, I see it as a bold and courageous endeavor that can lead to a happier and more enriched life. I utilize an eclectic approach in my practice to support my clients with managing a variety of mental health issues, to assist in finding symptom relief, to work towards achieving improved relationships and overall increased life satisfaction.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I help children, parents, and couples overcome obstacles, improve relationships, and better their lives. Starting a family can be one of the most exciting and fulfilling experiences, but when things do not go according to plan, this can be one of the biggest struggles for parents and children. I help families uncover the issues that contribute to the problem and find solutions to help you obtain the vision you always wanted for your child and your family.

Helping people feel whole again! This is a puzzling time for most! We all have parts of us from depressed, critical, worried to parts that are kind, happy and loving. All of these parts together make us the person we are. Although it is usually in an effort to help, sometimes different parts of us take over at the wrong time or do something that doesn’t seem to be helpful. Get support to uncover and be aware of what part is being activated so that you can begin to see things as yourself instead of as a part of you that is broken. Develop skills and awareness as you take a journey to towards feeling more like yourself again.

I have over 15 years of experience working with people across the lifespan, including children from birth through adolescence and their families. I have learned that when children are dealing with difficult feelings or adjusting to life changes, it is often hard for them to put their experiences into words. Instead, they show us with their behaviors. I enjoy helping children with a variety of issues find ways to express themselves through the art of play, storytelling, and other creative processes.

**Limited, daytime availability only**. I work with women to navigate the many challenges and transitions we face throughout our lives, from teens to midlife. I specialize in pregnancy and postpartum issues; anxiety and depression; grief and loss; trauma; and the many stressors of motherhood. Unexpected difficulties can change the way we feel about ourselves and our world, and leave us feeling alone, overwhelmed and anxious. Working together, we can find our way through, to understand ourselves more deeply, reconnect with people around us, and create a better way forward.
