Thank you for visiting my profile. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief from loss, a recent life transition, relationship issues, family issues, or trauma from a catastrophic event, I can help you. My approach with individuals centers around helping you to review emotions, thoughts, life experiences and beliefs to gain insight into your present-day challenges. We can begin to evaluate the problematic patterns you may have developed over time and work together on ways to change those patterns. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach and will often integrate different treatment methods into our work.

Accepting New Clients: Do you find yourself struggling, unsure of yourself, not knowing which way to turn for help? Life can be difficult at times, be it related to the impact of daily stressors, changes in health, work, loss, or relationship issues. These changes can create feelings that can leave you anxious, overwhelmed, or even saddened by your life circumstances. Because I believe that one’s path is unique to the individual, beginning "where you are at" allows us to focus on how we can work together in a safe and trusting environment to help you recognize your own strengths.

Life is tough at best, traumatic at worst. People let us down or we let ourselves down. We may repeat patterns that once seemed to work for us, but are now impeding our growth. Often we know what we "should" do to feel better, but can't seem to actualize our intentions. Or we become so overwhelmed with messages that we have to fix ourselves that over time our resolve weakens and we feel stuck, frustrated, and helpless. It can feel uncomfortable to ask for help when we're struggling, but we are not wired to walk this life alone; we all need a safe space where we can share our hurts, disappointments, and losses.

Deciding to seek out therapy can be difficult and making a connection with the right person even more so. Knowing something about the person you are hoping can help you can make the start of the process easier. I began working in the field at 16 for an afterschool program at an outside placement school, things progressed from there. From then to now I completed a BS in Business and an MEd in Counseling & School Adjustment, I obtained an LCMHC in NH and LMHC in MA. I have worked with individuals, couples and families in many settings including schools, residential programs, detention settings, office settings and in the community.

Life can be difficult and my goal is to help people with these difficult life situations. Sometimes it can be relationships, parenting, nervousness, depression, or help overcoming a past trauma. I am certified in Sand tray therapy to help process any of these life difficulties, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy to assist with past traumas, and Triple P which is the positive parenting program to assist parents with many issues from sleeping issues in infants to ADHD in elementary school. I also have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy. Current availability during school/work hours online and in person

Dr. Packard is a Modern Psychoanalyst and Licensed Mental Health Clinician. He has demonstrated an unique ability to integrate various forms of therapy into one unified approach; a blend of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy for problems of everyday life. Why use Integrative Psychotherapy? Most clinicians know that no one single theory or therapy works for all clients, all problems or situations. However, the vast majority of therapists strongly adhere to one particular approach which is fine if their approach matches the client they are seeing, the problem they are treating, where the client is in treatment, and so forth.

Navigating the ups and downs of life can make you feel like you are out to sea all alone. Life can be intense, and the waves of emotions can feel overwhelming. I am here to tell you that you are not alone on this crazy trip called LIFE. My approach to therapy is to be a guide to help you navigate life's challenges. We will look holistically at anything that might be contributing to your emotional state and work together to develop practical solutions.

Sometimes life throws us into a place that we can't seem to navigate. Perhaps you are feeling lonely, afraid, sad or confused and need a counselor to talk to in a private, compassionate and understanding setting.

The past few years have been really tough! Did you feel like you had it all together & then the rug was pulled out from under you? Maybe you experienced trauma when you were younger & thought you had moved past it. Now you feel frustrated, isolated, & alone. Maybe you are feeling triggered by your kids, spouse, partner, parents, or friends. You love them, but the pandemic has caused you to want to take a month-long vacation from them! You have tried dealing with your anxiety, anger, stress, all on your own but you are struggling to stay afloat-yelling at loved ones, working too much.

NOW OFFERING SECURE ONLINE SESSIONS - convenient treatment in the privacy/comfort of your home or office. Build & Repair Your Relationship - our goal is to save marriages. I believe that marriage is a good thing - a superb tonic for mental health! Getting or staying married reduces symptoms of depression far more than being single or divorced, according to a noted study. We take a brief therapy approach, because no one wants to spend years, or even months in therapy - nor need they. We focus on solutions not problems, on the present not the past.

Seeking therapy can be a difficult step for most, but is often the first step towards healing and growth. With a specialty in trauma work, I provide a place of support to children, adolescents, adults and couples who are experiencing challenges with relationships, anxiety/depression, boundary formation, and grief. I believe in clients being the experts of their own experiences and offer a safe and supportive environment to explore opportunities for change and to establish new skills to support overall mental health and wellness.

Are you experiencing anxiety, stress, or feeling shut down? Have you shared concerns with professionals before and been met with disbelief? I’m passionate about helping people learn how to simultaneously hold the uncertainty of life and the feeling that it will be okay. I also work with people living in a chronically ill body, who identify as being neurodiverse, or struggling with grief. These identities are often misunderstood, please don't be afraid to reach out!
