**Availability may be limited** Most people experience challenges in life and painful moments that can seem difficult to understand and get through. However, I believe with the right supports, we are capable and worthy of healing and resiliency. I knew from an early age I was passionate about helping people find ways to recover from adversity and develop a stronger sense of self, meaning, and happiness. I firmly believe feeling comfortable and understood is essential to the outcome of therapy. I take a compassionate yet direct stance, and strive to act as a coach and active partner in helping individuals reach their goals.

Are you ready to begin your path toward healing? As a pre-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I hold space for you to better understand yourself, where you have been, and where you are going more deeply. I believe healing is an ongoing practice instead of another task to complete. In our work together, I will use an integrative, collaborative, and client-centered approach to therapy.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to provide individual, couple, and family therapy. I work from a systems focused perspective where treatment draws from client strengths, is solution-focused, and family centered. I believe in being supportive and empowering clients in their journey to improve. I enjoy using cognitive behavioral techniques to address concerns such as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and general life stressors.

My name is Heather and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Bedford, NH. I specialize in working with teens, families, couples and adults. My job is to cultivate and foster a safe and secure environment where my clients are free to talk about, process, and manage any life stressors, past, present or future in order to improve their overall quality of life and live happier, healthier and more productive lives. I believe in a client-centered, systemic approach to therapy and integrate the client’s biopsychosocial factors into treatment as well as coordinating care between mental and physical health care providers.

Please EMAIL. Conflict within ourselves and our relationships can feel exhausting and isolating. Sometimes it can feel as though we are powerless or stuck waiting for other people or our environment to change. I believe growth is always possible when people feel strong support as they address unhelpful patterns and narratives. By deeply respecting how experiences affect clients, I seek to empower them to exercise more influence and agency in their lives and relationships.

Substance Abuse Evaluations are my speciality, I offer quality work at a quick turn around time-frame. I’m here to help. You CAN build a life that doesn’t rely on substances. And since substance use is often a result of underlying causes, I can help you understand the issues that first led to alcohol or drug use, and help develop the skills needed to avoid the stresses that might cause a relapse. I'll help you build a support system and achieve a balanced, meaningful life – one that doesn’t rely on substances.

Everyone has a story and a past. Our brains develop coping skills to shield us from triggers within those stories. I hope to help you find not only what those triggers are within your past, but what the glimmers are so you can be hopeful for your future with the skills that help you cope in a healthier way.
