Therapists in Hanover, NH

Are you feeling overwhelmed or unsatisfied at home, school, work, or in an important relationship? Is your child struggling socially or academically? I provide a warm, professional, and respectful environment where we will explore the concerns that brought you to therapy. We will work together to develop a coherent narrative of what is working and not working in your life, and draw on my experience and training to cultivate the insights, tools, and resources to create positive change.

The first noble truth of Buddhism is that being alive entails pain and suffering. By working through our problems, our fears, and our pain, we grow in our ability to experience compassion and connection with ourselves and others. It is a privilege for me to share in the process of overcoming pain and suffering with a person who is going through a difficult time.

Although I have experience treating a broad array of diagnostic categories, my approach is centered on treating the whole person. I look toward an understanding of the behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and ways of interacting that individuals repeat in spite of a wish to behave differently. My focus is on helping patients hear beyond what they know themselves to be saying, which, in my experience, allows individuals to feel more freedom and less angst in being in the world. I find that I am most helpful with people who want to know themselves better, or feel differently on a deep level.

Emotions are among our greatest human resources, though in the struggles of our lives we can think of them as problems to solve or avoid at all costs. My efforts as a therapist go towards utilization of the emotions and the experiences that elicit them, to bring about transformation and healing. I work with adults, children, teens, parents, couples, and draw from a large background of experience and training. This includes cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis, attachment work, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and EMDR. However, the primary value guiding the work is that the therapeutic relationship guides everything.

CBT represents a family of therapies that share a commitment to scientific excellence in the alleviation and prevention of human suffering. Our practice philosophy extends beyond diagnostic labels and is grounded in a deep respect for the whole person. We seek to assist clients in cultivating awareness, wisdom, and courage in every aspect of their lives while meeting each interaction with compassion, presence, and integrity. We utilize the most current science available to guide treatment. Our active approach is both flexible and creative, utilizing mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches contextually and functionally.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and have been in the field for over 30 years. I have worked in the community mental health system, residential programs, and private practice. While I see myself as an eclectic generalist, there has been an emphasis in my working with children and families. I am guided by a systems orientation, seeing children in terms of family relationships and the outward expanding concentric circles of school and community that round out their ecology. In assessing children I look to three categorical capacities, i.e., capacity for connection, collaboration, and drive toward competence.

My primary goal is to help people who feel stuck, either in unproductive communication patterns or conflicts that threaten their most important relationships. I place great value on being a compassionate, non-judgmental, responsive collaborator, uncovering clients' strengths, unrecognized needs, new or under-utilized talents and problem solving abilities. I find that this approach helps most clients come "unstuck" and reach their goals in a gentle and supportive process. I use Brainspotting™ with clients for resolving traumatic experiences, PTSD, attachment and anxiety. I also use trauma-sensitive HeartMath™ tools.

People come to therapy for many different reasons: To deal with a specific problem or concern; to develop better ways of coping with life's stresses; to overcome old obstacles; to heal from loss; to become happier, stronger and more resilient. Numerous studies have shown that one of the most important factors in helping people in therapy achieve change is a strong and trusting relationship with their therapist. I am committed to creating a warm and supportive environment in which my clients can explore their challenges, learn new skills, and find and use the innate strengths that they possess.

Whether I am with a child, teen, adult, couple or family, I strive to earn my clients' trust with honesty, warmth and humor; a secure and close therapeutic relationship allows for the most healing and progress. A lot of psychological distress occurs when people feel cut off from or ashamed of some of their feelings. I help clients access and feel compassion about previously disavowed feelings and parts of themselves, allowing for better self-care and self-regulation, and greater closeness with loved ones.
