I use play therapy techniques with younger children.
I have been working with children and adolescents (ages 8-18) for almost 30 years. My areas of expertise include working with youth who are experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, poor coping skills and trauma. My root philosophy is cognitive-behaviorally based (our thoughts & behaviors are connected and affect each other) but am not a classically trained CBT therapist. 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.

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.

Welcome to my Outdoor Adventure Life Coaching for Children/Teens Program! Most of us at some point feel we want things in our lives to be different, but don’t always know how to make the changes we need to or can’t do it on our own because we get stuck. I am optimistic we can work towards positive change together! I am offering an alternate approach to traditional mental health methods. My sessions with your child will be primarily outdoors and we will be using nature and physical activity to alleviate anxiety and depression symptoms. I have 15 years of experience as a School Counselor and over 20 years working with youth.

The stressors of life can have profound impacts on youth. I provide children and adolescents (ages 3-19) with compassionate integrative care to meet their unique needs; this can include CBT, Play Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, and Expressive Art Therapy. To me, working with youth also means providing support and guidance to their families via separate family and parenting sessions, as needed.

Let me start off by saying that I am not a big fan of this picture. This being said, therapy is not magic, but people helping clients to regain perspective so they can either tap into their strengths again, or learn new skills to enhance their lives. I have been able to support people in accomplishing this for quite a long time now and fully believe my work is simply changing things up enough so you can see your strength and then put it back into action

I particularly enjoy working with individuals who have struggled with, or are resistant to traditional therapy. Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, and for many, it can be difficult to express these feelings using only words. As an intuitive, I am able to connect with clients' energy and emotions to assist them in growing and healing. I frequently incorporate energy work and experiential activities to support them as they process experiences, discover individual strengths, and develop new skills to move through life with confidence.

There is no greater feeling than seeing your child succeed and, perhaps, nothing more disparaging than seeing your child struggle.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I help children, parents, and couples overcome obstacles, improve relationships, and better their lives. Starting a family can be one of the most exciting and fulfilling experiences, but when things do not go according to plan, this can be one of the biggest struggles for parents and children. I help families uncover the issues that contribute to the problem and find solutions to help you obtain the vision you always wanted for your child and your family.
