Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Dover, NH

I am continuously inspired by those that navigate life's most difficult circumstances and still take steps to find healing. Engaging in therapy with someone you feel comfortable with is essential for therapeutic progress. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for individuals, couples and families where each person can engage in the therapeutic process. Combined with a customized treatment plan you'll gain an increased feeling of safety, confidence, and connection as you learn the tools you need to improve connection, communication, and heal from trauma.

I offer Online Therapy. I have worked in community mental health centers, school counseling and private practice in California, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I provide a safe space to treat various issues for adults 18 and over via videoconference. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, yet incorporate other approaches depending on my clients needs. I view therapy as a collaborative experience with my clients whom I walk beside and support during our process together. I assist my clients to focus on their personal therapy goals and provide the tools and encouragement to facilitate positive change and personal empowerment.

Sometimes life takes us in directions that can be overwhelming and difficult. You might feel lost, stuck and/or unhappy. Maybe things you've experienced in the past are catching up with you. With awareness and self-compassion, you can consider new options and develop healthier and more sustaining habits and resources. Together we will pay attention to how trauma and struggle can be held in our bodies and released. We will support you in meeting life's challenges with curiosity and kindness so you may choose your path forward with confidence and joy.

Many of us are trying to manage depressive feelings, anxious thoughts, and relationship issues. Many of us long for more connection with the important people in our lives. Sadly, like a frustrating circle, lack of connection with others frequently leads to increased depression and anxiety, which in turn increases your sense of isolation. Bringing awareness and understanding to the emotions underneath your communication with others, as well as learning how to verbalize these emotions so others better understand your experience, can be helpful in decreasing these distressing symptoms.

"Liminality" refers to the middle stage of change, the threshhold between what was, and what is yet to be. It is when, and where, we are forced by circumstance or choice to leave behind what is familiar, and to journey into a place of uncertainty. It is a normal part of being human. I named my practice Liminal Therapy to honor the process of change and human resilience. My clients are adults (18+) and include people with ADHD and related anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, addictions, and issues related to the stressors of life stages and transitions. Diversity and multicultural wisdom traditions are welcome and appreciated.

As human beings and humans-doing we have all faced stressors. Whatever challenge you're facing right now, the important thing is to show up and do the next right thing even if it does not feel easy or good, which is probably what you're doing for yourself by just showing up to my page. I value vulnerability, compassion, and transparency in others, and I strive to bring these skills into my work with individuals from all walks of life. I enjoy working with 18+ individuals of all identities and experiences.

My practice is currently full, but I'm happy to provide approximate wait time on openings. I have deep appreciation for the strength it takes to reach out for support when life becomes overwhelming, stressful or we find ourselves stuck. Recognizing that we might be in need of support can be difficult, I see it as a bold and courageous endeavor that can lead to a happier and more enriched life. I utilize an eclectic approach in my practice to support my clients with managing a variety of mental health issues, to assist in finding symptom relief, to work towards achieving improved relationships and overall increased life satisfaction.

My therapy practice is dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore self-discovery and personal growth. I believe that therapy should be tailored to each individual's unique journey, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. My focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship, ensuring that you feel seen and heard throughout our work together. I integrate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based frameworks. I have a particular passion for supporting young adults and parents of young adults as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of this life stage.

I enjoy working with clients who struggle with both mental health and substance use disorders. Change can be difficult and I strive to meet clients where they are at and work collaboratively with them to develop a vision and plan for their treatment.

Hello! Please make sure to view my insurance/payment section before contacting. I enjoy helping people to challenge their problems, to navigate new environments/social or emotional spaces, and to create new understandings of themselves as they evolve. I enjoy working with college-age clients, single people, couples, parents, veterans (I am an Army veteran), people facing life-stage change, and anyone looking to resolve issues from their development. I often find that, regardless of a client’s complaint, there’s a little kid on the inside who needs some resolution or reassurance for them to feel safe and enough so to move on in life.

Currently NOT accepting new clients. Congratulations on taking this first step towards feeling better. If you feel you have no control over your life and are struggling to find that work/home/life balance- You are not alone. Often, our adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and grief impact our emotions, coping skills and relationships. Individual therapy can be challenging, but I am here to support and encourage you as you set the course for healing emotional wounds, understanding oneself, and lessen that ripple effect of trauma which may be preventing you from being your most authentic self.

I help families and couples recover from generational and childhood trauma. My clients are cycle-breakers who are committed to their growth and looking for support in their journey toward healing. In my practice, I support youth in healing from childhood trauma and rebuilding trust with their caregivers. I guide caregivers in developing their parenting skills and breaking unhelpful generational cycles. I work with romantic partners to improve their communication and intimacy in their relationship.

I am offering telehealth visits only. You can expect me to come from a place of curiosity and use thoughtful, direct communication delivered with unconditional respect and positive regard. I can offer techniques to support the process of change as well as education about the brain, human behavior, and the science of change to enhance motivation. If you are not completely ready for change, I fully embrace harm-reduction approaches.

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.

My practice is currently FULL. Are you feeling stuck or struggling with a difficult experience that you have had? Has it been hard to fully engage in present day relationships because of events from your past? Are you struggling with worry or feeling down? Do you want to improve your relationship with your partner or with your child/teenager? My goal as a therapist is to work in a collaborative manner to empower clients to reach their goals. It is a privilege to help people improve their lives and their relationships.

*Please email all new patient inquiries.* Are you going through a time in your life when you emotions feel overwhelming? Are you lacking clarity about your true self? Do you tell yourself that you are doing the best you can, but wonder why you don't feel as good as you'd like to? Do you want to feel more like yourself, feel more connected to others and function better? Often times we have unmet emotional needs we are not even aware of, that pile up and negatively impact many areas of our lives: self-esteem, relationships, communication, academic/work performance, sports performance, parenting, etc.

I work with children (ages 10 and up), teens, young adults, and families. I especially enjoy helping teens and young adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed in their day-to-day life despite being hardworking and empathetic. Often, my clients are looking to be heard, validated, and reminded that they are the experts on themselves and their experiences have shaped who they are today. If you’re feeling down, stressed or not quite like yourself, please know that change is possible.
