Therapists in Dover, NH

I will be on maternity leave from Feb '24 to May '24. I'm currently NOT accepting any new clients at this time. I enjoy working with children (ages 6 and up), teens, young adults, and families that are experiencing a variety of life's struggles. Feeling isolated, down, overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck in negative patterns in our relationships are commonplace. Many people are dealing with the impact of traumatic events that have occurred in their lives. We can work collaboratively to deal with the emotional challenges and obstacles that are causing distress and work towards restoring balance and happiness in your life.

As a cognitive behavioral therapist with over 25 years experience in the mental health field, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

When you have thoughts and emotions that are getting jiggy on their own, when you try by yourself to deal with bigger, trickier challenges, when you are confused or fraught with emotions, it can cause symptoms that build and begin to interfere with everyday life. Giving into these emotions can result in missed opportunities such as fun friendships or relationships. You may miss taking advantage of your independent abilities or your full rounded potential. What other opportunities are you missing? Good news is that there are therapies and resources as well as little tricks that can help.

I have been working with children, preteens, teens, and adults for over 25 years. My areas of expertise include working with youth and adults with anxiety, low self-esteem, poor coping skills, as well as life transitions, family conflicts and parenting challenges. My root philosophy is cognitive-behaviorally based (our thoughts & behaviors are connected and affect each other). I use an eclectic approach using tools from a wide range of theories. I'm committed to treating the whole person and not just a diagnosis or label.

Currently accepting new clients. My passion is working with teens and parents to help them work through communication issues and promote healthy structure and safety within the home. I have 18 plus years experience working on an inpatient mental health setting assisting teens and their caregivers. I would love to help you and or your teen work through any negative communication patterns or high risk behaviors that are getting in the way of a healthy life at home. I work with individuals, teens, parents and families. Please reach out to see if I would be a good fit for you.

*Please email all new patient inquiries.* Are you going through a time in your life when you emotions feel overwhelming? Are you lacking clarity about your true self? Do you tell yourself that you are doing the best you can, but wonder why you don't feel as good as you'd like to? Do you want to feel more like yourself, feel more connected to others and function better? Often times we have unmet emotional needs we are not even aware of, that pile up and negatively impact many areas of our lives: self-esteem, relationships, communication, academic/work performance, sports performance, parenting, etc.

A good life begins on the inside. I believe effective psychotherapy provides a collaborative relationship involving caring support, humor, and spontaneity to enhance self-awareness and self-esteem, improve interpersonal relationships, increase coping skills, and understand emotional patterns. The challenges that draw you to therapy are an invitation to heal and are the beginning of new possibilities for your life and your relationships. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with tools and perspectives, empowering you to transform your life so that you can emerge a stronger, healthier person.

Living with anxiety is painful. Whether it is feeling overwhelmed by the stressors of daily life, navigating illness or survivorship, grappling with sexuality or identity, or struggling with past trauma, anxiety shows up in many ways and robs individuals of their joy. My ideal client is looking for a space of connection and peace, so they can feel safe to do healing work.

Are you or someone you know struggling with managing emotions-anxiety or depression, are there sexual concerns for yourself or in your relationship, or are you struggling with adjustments in your life, maybe starting a family or parenting children who struggle with behaviors? If so I would love to hear from you in order to see if I am a good fit to help. I love working with all types of family systems, currently with couples or adult individuals. I believe that part of moving forward towards change is supporting my clients in finding the solutions within themselves.

I am not taking new clients for therapy until MAY 2024. Are you feeling stuck or struggling with a difficult experience that you have had? Has it been hard to fully engage in present day relationships because of events from your past? Are you struggling with worry or feeling down? Do you want to improve your relationship with your partner or with your child/teenager? My goal as a therapist is to work in a collaborative manner to empower clients to reach their goals. It is a privilege to help people improve their lives and their relationships.

I am a passionate and caring provider who is excited to learn more about you and help identify areas for positive change. My practice includes an integrated approach involving Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I will work alongside you to support your needs as you pursue happiness and achieve overall wellness.

Life is filled with peaks and valleys and sometimes we can lose sight of ourselves in the midst of change. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some space and time set aside just for you, to breathe and reconnect with yourself? In these moments of pause it is possible to find balance and alignment between your mind, body and soul and begin to show love and acceptance for all the different versions of yourself. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you can build confidence in yourself and feel safe and supported in order to heal and grow.

I enjoy working with people who want to learn about themselves and their relationships and develop insight into their behavior. It isn't easy to ask for help. Sometimes, when we aren't able to solve things on our own, therapy can be a great resource. Clients tell me that I help them make the changes they want. I believe in providing you a safe and supportive place to explore your life. I have twenty-five years of experience and am committed to assisting you understand yourself and grow. People I've worked with have described me as warm and easy to talk to.
