Life in the best of times is challenging but during the time of economic instability and a global pandemic, life can seem unbearable. During these difficult times, the support of a good therapist is needed. I assist those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse issues, and life transitions. I assist couples with identifying areas in their relationship that they would like to improve and then walk that path with them as they discover new ways to enhance their relationship or rediscover old ways that they have forgotten. I support marginalized peoples cope with the injustices they endure daily.

I believe therapy is an influential journey that requires a partnership between both client and therapist. Such partnership where you are held accountable to make small or big efforts to create change in your life. My experience includes assisting clients who are fairly new to experiencing mental health challenges, persons with various forms of trauma (including domestic violence and intimate partner violence), clients adjusting to challenging life transitions and events, and persons with low self esteem. If this is you, and you want to get better, you are in the right place.

Life is filled with adventure, love, joy, happiness, dreams and the list can go on and on... right? Well I know that certain experiences such as traumatic events, loss, and other situations transpire that directly impact our ability to remain hopeful about our future/purpose. When we look in the mirror, we no longer see the beauty, strength, boldness, creativity, intellect that we once saw. Instead, the "fog/steam" of life obstructs and distorts our view. Well, I would argue that the image/reflection has never changed...just your ability to see it. My role is to be a "defroster."

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is a compassionate model of psychotherapy that helps people understand how they’ve come to take on certain beliefs and behaviors over the course of their lives. The focus is on healing the wounded parts and restoring balance and harmony by unburdening those beliefs and behaviors that have led one to experience unhappiness, interpersonal difficulties, and at times, dissatisfaction with life.

How can I find a therapist in Portsmouth?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
