Therapists Beginning With Z in New Hampshire

Individuals, couples and families get stuck in patterns of thought and behavior, and I am here to help clients recognize these patterns and take charge of the direction of their lives. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and I take a collaborative approach to help you explore yourself, your relationships and your family in ways that feel right to you. My goal is to meet you where you're at with empathy and compassion to help you get where you want to go and meet your goals.

Cultivating Compassion-Nurturing Resilience-Encouraging Creativity

Most of us have heard the saying “Everyone has a story.” What most of us aren’t aware of is how many stories we’re telling about ourselves, other people and the world; and how those stories are impacting our lives. When you increase your awareness and understanding of how your thoughts and feelings are connected, you can identify patterns and beliefs you’ve been stuck in that are not serving you. This awareness and insight provide you the opportunity to change.

I work with clients from various backgrounds with the belief that people can make the changes in their lives if they have the support and tools to do so. I have a client-centered, strength based approach to treatment to help clients find what they need to live the life that they want. My primary focus is on substance use/misuse, recovery, and any related mental health issues, as well as exploring coping skills, and anger/emotional management. I feel that clients deserve an empathetic therapist that will work closely with them to find strength to overcome life's obstacles.

Now accepting new client inquiries! My clients seek me out for a variety of reasons which might include postpartum depression, professional burnout, panic attacks, complex trauma/PTSD, depression or mood disorders. I offer support to reconnect with yourself and feel better about the important relationships in your life. For parents, caregivers, and professionals in medical, mental health or education, feelings of overwhelm, guilt, worry, sadness or self-doubt don't have to be your new normal.

I utilize many different treatment approaches in my work with kids, teens, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I strive to create an open and safe environment for my clients, to help them feel comfortable feeling and expressing their emotions. Together we can work on any challenges that may come your way.

Are you ready to start living your life in the way you wish? Are you feeling stuck in your thinking? I am a Licensed Mental Health counselor with 20 years experience working with very diverse populations. My clients have had a range of issues they have sought to resolve struggles with addiction, family disruptions, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and many others. My practice modalities include Solution focused care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, Dialectical Behavioral techniques and Person Centered Care with a focus on the goals of the client. I work with adults, and adolescents.

Do you have past trauma that you still carry around despite your best efforts to cope? This trauma could be a single event, years of smaller incidents, a negative self- statement that's been with you forever, or a loss of some kind. Sometimes talk therapy doesn't actually solve the core issue and you continue to have overwhelming feelings when it comes up for you. I use a combination of EMDR and Brainspotting to work on these core issues. This can be done as a stand-alone therapy or as an adjunct to talk therapy.

Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling life is hard. A strong therapeutic relationship is among the most important factors in achieving lasting change. I view the therapeutic process as a safe and confidential process in which my clients and I work together to foster personal growth and increase self-awareness. My practice utilizes a collaborative approach to draw in those closest to you and most important in your recovery process. I am licensed to provide services to clients residing in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Virginia. All sessions are currently conducted via Telehealth.
