Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Durham, NH

Wellness is more than an absence of problems; it is an experience of living life to the fullest. Recognizing that the resources for healing and negotiating interpersonal conflicts already exist within us, I rely on a sensitive understanding of each individual and the unique abilities they can further develop to achieve their goals.

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.

Perhaps you’re down or anxious. Maybe you’re unsure about the future of a relationship or you feel as though you aren’t living the life you were meant to lead. Perhaps you’re thinking that something is getting in the way of your ability to function at work or other environments that are important to you. Life can be challenging – whether the challenges are sudden and unexpected or build up over the course of years. In sessions I promote behavioral transformation through collaborative efforts and solution-focused interventions to help you get back on track, identify and achieve your goals, and reach your greatest potential.

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced (James Baldwin). I currently have limited availability for new clients who struggle with different types of anxiety. I offer an innovative approach to treatment, known as virtual reality exposure therapy, to treat phobias (e.g., fear of flying, driving, heights, public speaking, germs, needles, small spaces), other forms of anxiety (e.g., social and test-taking anxieties) and stress reactions. Length of treatment can range from 6-12 sessions and you can practice relaxation and techniques from your home, in between sessions.

I have an integrative, mostly behavioral approach to treating individuals. I focus on radical self-acceptance, non-rumination when feelings stuck in difficult thought cycles, and understanding the nervous system habits in the process of healing and self-regulation. It is very important that the therapeutic relationship is the right fit for you in your journey to maintain balance and health.

I am accepting new clients. My ideal client is one that is motivated to make changes in their life. With this foundation you can leave therapy with confidence that you can get through life’s challenges and appreciate each day life has to offer.

Welcome to Love and Grow Youth and Family Therapy, PLLC :) I specialize in helping youth, young adults, couples, and families find direction in navigating difficulties with anxiety, depression, oppositional and defiant behavior, obsessive and compulsive behavior, as well as traumatic stress. I approach therapy with genuine curiosity, humbly meeting my clients where they are, validating those life experiences that bring my clients into therapy, and learning more about the tool kits clients have used thus far to steer them through troubled waters.

Struggling with OCD, anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors, or mood-related challenges can be scary to navigate on your own and can get in the way of the life you want to live. I work with people to provide specialized treatment and education to learn what's holding you back from a fulfilling and meaningful life. Together in a compassionate and non-judgmental space, we will work to identify how the thoughts and stories you have about yourself and life get in your way, how to make room for human experiences in the present moment, and how to act in the service of your values.

Accepting new clients April 1, 2024. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you need to make time for yourself? Do you need someone to talk to? Therapy is most helpful when done in an accepting and collaborative way. I work with you to assist you in attaining personal goals, exploring growth, and achieving emotional well-being. I understand that every individual is unique and I approach treatment with this in mind. I know that each client enters therapy with specific strengths and I do my best to help you pull from those strengths. My approach to therapy can be described as compassionate, active, warm, and gently challenging.

I am an intuitive trauma therapist specializing in the treatment of first responder, military and relational trauma. The treatment I provide is survivor-led and trauma informed. As the wife of a combat veteran, I have endured the endless gaps in a broken system that our soldiers and first responders with PTSD face. Our family’s fight to overcome PTSD and our fight to compensate for the gaps in a flawed system now serves to light the path I follow in working with veterans, first responders and relational trauma survivors in my practice. I am passionate about my work as a healer and I wholeheartedly believe in the power of healing.

I can see any client in Maine and NH via teletherapy but I am not credentialed with insurance companies in Maine, only NH. I help guide my clients to understand how their upbringing, worldview, culture, personality, and view of self affect how they are feeling, behaving, and thinking currently. One goal of mine is to help my clients maximize their wellbeing by better understanding themselves through the use of coping tools like mindfulness to slow and calm themselves enough to be able to assess their own thoughts and emotions in the moment so as to minimize regrets while reducing mood and behavioral symptoms.
