Children that struggle with being cooped up in an office often feel more at home here to open up while moving around.
I have a passion for helping kids that are struggling to become more successful and happier in their world. I like allowing kids to express in ways that help me to understand their perspectives. I find that better understanding their perspective and method of self expression can help me communicate in ways that the individual child better understands. I love working and playing with kids in ways that allow me to connect with them in a way that feels comfortable.

I am a licensed social worker in the state of NH. My true love is working with children and families. My main goal is to develop a positive rapport with all members. Good work can not begin until all are comfortable.
I specialize in treating children with anxiety, depression, ADHD and ODD as well as family conflict that often accompanies these issues. I work to give parents the support needed to better relate to their children, at the same time giving the child the opportunity to have the confidential and secure environment to explore their own feelings, behaviors and goals.

We are a children's psychotherapy program specializing in equine facilitated psychotherapy. We believe that learning to do things differently can be hard - we might as well have fun while we are doing it! Most of our clients have tried more traditional office approaches and have found that they didn't work for them. We believe that children should be given space to play and explore. It is through these experiences that children learn about themselves and the world around them.

Everyone has a dream for their lives, relationships, children, and the unique gifts they have to offer the world. But sometimes we can feel our dream slipping away or that obstacles are blocking our path. You’re reading this now, because despite the challenges you face, you still believe in your dream and capacity for happiness or healing, and you’re looking for the right support to help you succeed. My experience is that the difficulties, traumas, or systemic issues people face can become their greatest strengths. The question is whether you have the right support to help transform these challenges into greater happiness.

Child & adolescent therapy should be something that is mostly fun.
They Say "It takes a Village" Do you ever worry that you're just not getting through to your child? Does it seem like no matter what you try, nothing seems to work? Some families don't have a "village" to help them with all the different struggles kids face today. I have worked in many different settings; hospitals, group homes, schools, residential treatment centers, and clinical outpatient offices. I have helped lots of children of all age ranges and their families with similar situations that you're probably facing.

I see children, adults, and families.
I find that a client is best served when they are listened to, validated, but also challenged to make positive change. That is why I take a cognitive behavioral approach to the counseling I do. Whether the client is a child or adult we all have the ability to learn from the past and make different choices for the future.
