Therapists in Dover, NH

Offering in person sessions late afternoon, evening and some Saturdays. I specialize in working with youth and young adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, depression, behavior, social relationships and trauma related issues. I have many years of experience working with youth and their families providing individual, group and family services within educational, justice, residential and home settings.

I work with people to address a wide range of concerns. I collaborate with clients to explore patterns and emotional pain, while helping to make meaning of feelings and experiences, to result in self-awareness and healing. The counseling process allows one to identify core issues and develop more effective coping skills to result in meaningful change.

I work with individuals, teens, parents and families. Please reach out to see if I would be a good fit for you.

You're likely sifting through therapist profiles because you feel lost, hopeless, or stuck – wanting to make a change or feel different, but not sure about how to do that, where to start, or if the kind of change you quietly wish for is possible. Maybe you are isolated and want someone to help you through an unexpected situation, or perhaps you've got a lot of support already, but want the perspective of someone who's separate from your life. It takes a lot of strength to honestly acknowledge your struggles and decide to turn inward to find a way out of them. I am honored to walk with you at whatever point you're at on this journey.

Living with anxiety is painful. Whether it is feeling overwhelmed by the stressors of daily life, navigating illness or survivorship, grappling with sexuality or identity, or struggling with past trauma, anxiety shows up in many ways and robs individuals of their joy. My ideal client is looking for a space of connection and peace, so they can feel safe to do healing work.

You may be here because you want to be able to adapt to a new transition, acknowledge and process difficult emotions, and engage in growth. Wherever you are in the process, I will meet you where you're at to help you get to where you want to be. Therapy asks that you be vulnerable, trusting, ready for change, and willing to do the work and I am honored to be considered as your therapist.

Stepping into your true, authentic self can feel scary and overwhelming. Loving connections, grounded sense of self, and empowerment are the foundations of therapeutic work. I strive to create an environment which provides the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of yourself, experience growth, and bring about lasting change. You are the expert of your life experience. Together, we will navigate this journey and help you return to the life that’s been waiting for you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been practicing since 2004. I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Michigan with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from Boston College with a clinical concentration in Children, Youth and Families. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and families, working in both office based and home based settings. My specialization is adolescent behavior problems, depression and anxiety in adolescents and adults, and family therapy.

PRACTICE IS FULL. I practice from a primarily cognitive-behavioral approach. Treatment typically includes challenging unhelpful beliefs about yourself, others and the world. Exposure and Response Prevention is typically used as the first line of treatment for OCD, OCD related disorders and anxiety disorders. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment, Dialectical Behavioral, and Relational therapies. Any behavior is an intention to sustain the self; yet many times the preserving behavior exacerbates the distress, fear, sadness, or anger.

Are you or someone you know struggling with managing emotions-anxiety or depression, are there sexual concerns for yourself or in your relationship, or are you struggling with adjustments in your life, maybe starting a family or parenting children who struggle with behaviors? If so I would love to hear from you in order to see if I am a good fit to help. I love working with all types of family systems, currently with couples or adult individuals. I believe that part of moving forward towards change is supporting my clients in finding the solutions within themselves.

At times, we find ourselves in seasons of life where we may feel disoriented and easily overwhelmed. We can begin questioning ourselves and wondering if we’ve chartered off course or lost our way. During challenging times, it can be easy to feel overburdened by heavy emotions, intrusive thoughts, and the simple tasks of everyday life. Navigating relationships, careers, finances, and other responsibilities can pile up and take their toll on our well-being.

Do you feel there are areas of your life you can personally work on improving for your own mental wellbeing or looking for help for your teenager? Do you acknowledge the importance of self-care, finding a healthy balance in your life and ready to be proactive about it? Would you like to try new things like alternative therapies while also incorporating traditional evidence based approaches? If so, please reach out to see if we are a good fit! I have 10 years of experience with a wide array of clients from seniors, adults, LGBTQ+ and especially teenagers and parents who simply want to be better at balancing life in any and many ways.

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.

Do you have a high stress life or a high demand/high responsibility career? Are you under preforming? Not motivated? Are you exhausted? Have relentless anxious or depressive thoughts that are wearing you down? Worried that life or work demands will get in the way of attending sessions? Dread the thought of running into someone you know? We get it and offer extremely flexible scheduling, maintain a limited number of patients, and have strict confidentiality & privacy procedures in place. Appointments available to fit YOUR schedule (online or in-person), Tues-Fri 10am-8pm & Saturdays 9am-2pm.

Having a sound education is crucial to successful treatment therapies. This is why I have spent years dedicated to my education. This way I have more to offer you, more tools to help you rebuild your life, more information to help you access your own emotions, and overall, more experience to draw from. Trusted to Lead: It was an honor to be selected by two governors as an expert in my field. As a state appointee, I worked with others to propose new legislation for our field, and I coauthored many documents that are now standard guidelines for psychologists in our state.

As you embark on the journey of seeking therapy, I extend to you a warm and heartfelt welcome. Within the sacred space of therapy, I offer you a sanctuary—a haven where your struggles are met with compassion, your pain is held with tenderness, and your journey toward healing is honored with reverence. In our shared journey of exploration and transformation, I stand as your ally, your advocate, and your guide. Together, we embark on a collaborative odyssey—a journey of self-discovery, growth, and empowerment. Here, amidst the ebb and flow of life's complexities, you are not alone.
