Therapists in New Hampshire

I find that unmanaged stress is the root cause of many mental health disorders. My work with clients includes helping them to identify triggers, understand the underlying causes of their stress and learn ways to balance the mind, body and spirit by building a daily self-care routine that includes mental, physical, emotional and spiritual practices. I use a variety of techniques depending on the age and needs of my client. I work primarily with teens, young adults, and adult women. I offer weekly classes and annual self-renewal retreats in addition to individual therapy.

Navigating relationships, careers, finances, and other responsibilities can pile up and take their toll on our well-being.
