Therapists in North Conway, NH

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress? Using substances in order to cope? Let me help! I have been in practice since 2008 helping individuals learn ways of coping with the stressors of life, working through traumatic memories and experiences that can hold you back from living your best life. I offer a personalized, compassionate connection in therapy to ensure that you feel comfortable and have trust in the process to wellness and recovery.

I work with all addictions, as I believe all addictions stem from the same source; our desire to Not-Be-Here-Now, to Not-Feel-This-Thing. Whether it's food, alcohol, drugs, sex, or anything else, I can help you by assisting you in identifying the root cause of your dis-ease. In addition, as someone who has successfully lost over 100 pounds, I am uniquely positioned to use both my personal experience and my training in mental health counseling to assist you in achieving your weight loss goals. Together we will explore how your excess weight has served you, and identify the steps you need to take to finally be able to release it.

Life brings many unexpected and sometimes very difficult challenges. Change and transition can be uncomfortable and painful, particularly when it is not what we want or envision. Through therapy one can gain insight into one's self and come to understand how certain life events impact your life. Through this process of self reflection one can explore how to better manage events outside of one's control, learn more adaptive coping skills and find strategies for dealing with distress. Therapy is a tool to help people develop and improve areas of their lives that ultimately lead to greater inner contentment.

I enjoy working with people who are struggling with resolving past trauma and the impact it has on their relationships. They want to improve their view of themselves and develop an identity outside of their mental health conditions and their role in other people's lives. I enjoy working with individuals who have a hard time getting their needs met in healthy ways, either because they tend to be passive or react in anger. I have worked with a wide variety of diagnoses, but my main focus is on what is bothering you in this moment and how we can help you work through that.

The ideal client is anyone having a human experience in life and wants to maximize their moments of positive influence. Like many of my clients, I have learned to experience the ups and downs in life with improving my emotional regulation. The tools that we actually utilize need to be tangible and realistic to a busy, and sometimes overwhelming environment. The goals may not be to increase happiness,but increase moments of happiness, and moreover to increase awareness and mindful practice. The end goal of an ideal client is to learn how to survive and thrive in varying degrees of health and stress; to be alive and well.

My experience is in treating depressive and anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. I also particularly enjoy working with young adults and adults experiencing more complex and severe forms of mental illness (including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other forms of psychosis ). Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a collaborative process in which we’ll work together to identify what you hope to address and create a strategy to achieve your goals. Often it can be helpful to better understand the complex pattern of interactions between your thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

If you are going through something and need some support, it would be my honor to try to help you out. What you might face now may have something to do with the past, and may also impact the future for the worse if something isn't done now, in the present. I would enjoy working with you to consider the past and future while also focusing on the present as much as possible in order to glean what is most within your control, what are your resources and options, your abilities and limitations, how do we honor and validate these while also encouraging some change, and how do we tolerate what is outside of our control, etc.

Life brings many challenges. Possibly, you are feeling out of balance with the pressures of work and/or personal relationships. Maybe, anxiety and stress are causing you to lose sleep, feel depressed or act out with excessive behaviors; such as drinking too much, overeating or experiencing repetitive, self defeating thoughts. You may be struggling to manage or stop behaviors that create shame, guilt or ongoing regret. With 17 years of clinical experience, specializing in trauma/ PTSD, addictions, relationships and other life transitions, I support clients through a Holistic approach towards personal healing.

You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible. - Deepak Chopra. You are experiencing unpleasant symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and or other mental health disorders, and at this point it is weighing you down and getting in the way of how you want to live your life.
