Grief Therapists in New Hampshire

I have been a practicing social worker for 45 years, and a clinician in the Seacoast area for over 35 years with 20 years in hospice. It's not just about death and dying, it's also about living...living the best possible life, and because everyone dies, every human issue can surface. What is on your mind today and what is getting in your way for living that best possible life?

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples and families. The majority of my counseling experience is in the areas of depression, anxiety and couples counseling. I work with clients to help build awareness of current feelings of anxiety, grief, anger and other forms of distress and to make connections to their own past experiences, allowing for healing to occur.

It is a privilege to introduce myself to you. I am a Licensed Psychologist located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with more than 30 years of clinical experience in private practice, outpatient clinic, and inpatient settings. My clinical interests include mind-body medicine, health psychology, and optimal performance. I would describe myself as compassionate and thoughtful, with a good sense of humor.

It can be difficult to imagine moving beyond the challenge of depression, anxiety, relationship and work concerns, aging or just feeling stuck. But, in each of us, there is always capacity to heal, to learn, to change and to grow. I strive to provide a setting that is warm, personal, accepting, and optimistic; a place to recognize and build on your unique strengths and capabilities. Drawing on a broad range of personal and professional experiences, my practice and therapeutic approach is pragmatic and solution focused, tailored to your current needs and concerns, always encouraging and supportive.

Your initial visit will be a warm greeting where we discuss what is bringing you to therapy currently.

Everyone faces struggles in their life, and sometimes having a supportive and unbiased person can help make those struggles easier to navigate.

Most of us have heard the saying “Everyone has a story.” What most of us aren’t aware of is how many stories we’re telling about ourselves, other people and the world; and how those stories are impacting our lives. When you increase your awareness and understanding of how your thoughts and feelings are connected, you can identify patterns and beliefs you’ve been stuck in that are not serving you. This awareness and insight provide you the opportunity to change.

As a dual licensed therapist I partner, with children, parents, adolescents/teens, adults of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and big life transitions, adjustment to change, addiction, and relationship problems. I offer the soft landing of a supportive, trusting, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment that is grounded in empathetic listening and innovative therapies beyond the traditional “talk therapy.” Most clients begin to notice improvement within 2 to 3 sessions.

I provide counseling and coaching to those whose vision of their life purpose and direction has been blurred by self medicating painful experiences and emotions with alcohol and drugs, a DUI, overwhelming stress in their relationship or job, an episode of depression or anxiety, or the loss of a loved one. These are common issues and challenges that clients struggle with on their journey to live a meaningful and satisfying lives. I have been privileged to assist clients in this journey as they regain awareness one day at a time of their life's purpose and direction.

As a clinical mental health professional, an Army Family Life Chaplain, VA therapist, and also a Christian ordained pastoral counselor (of 30+ years) I assist individuals in the community struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and trauma (PTSD).

Now accepting new clients. Everyone is at a crossroads during their life that they need to talk about issues that they struggle with. Whether it be loss of a love one, battling a substance use issue, a mood disorder or coping with an intellectual disability. Clients have a wide variety of issues that they are seeking to manage and to cope with in a better way. Many times a client is seeking someone to help them make sense out of something that, at least to them in the beginning, seems to be senseless. Answers and ways of moving their life into a forward motion is what many people seek in counseling.

My ideal client would be one who is willing to put in the effort it takes to achieve a healthy and happy mental status. Not every population I see has this mindset. I believe that by building trust and rapport as well as by the client seeing their own progress, the motivation to reach their personal goals will increase. I have worked with patients as young as 2 and as old as 72 with varying issues. Although I am trained to work with most populations and feel comfortable doing so, my specialty lies with those suffering from anxiety.
