Adults Therapists in Hollis, NH

You’ve realized you’re drinking or getting high more than you planned to and more than you want to but don’t know how to stop. The shame is dragging you down and you’re too embarrassed to admit you have a "problem." People in your life are concerned and want to offer help but what they’re offering just isn’t what you think you need. You might be numbing how you feel about letting things get to this point and not being able to change. Maybe someone else thinks your behavior is a problem and as much as you’d rather just get them off your back, there’s a part of you that’s starting to agree and wonder what you can do about it.

Finding the right fit with a therapist can be challenging. I am a psychotherapist who excels at connecting with people and making them feel at ease. I'm known by my clients to be warm, engaged, humorous, direct and compassionate. I believe it is a privilege to sit with people who allow me to bear witness to their lives, stressors, and pain. I have great appreciation for the "and" that life often presents, and encourage clients to recognize and tolerate that we often experience conflicting emotions simultaneously. I approach therapy as an interactive process and enjoy working with people to develop a plan that works best for them.

Hi. I am a licensed psychologist lucky enough to love what I do. I have a thriving private practice working exclusively with adults in individual and couples/marital therapy. Whether you want help with personal/emotional struggles, relationships, stresses of everyday life, or a life crisis, I can help you feel more settled and confident about yourself and your life. Rooted in the present or past, issues including anxiety, depression and self-esteem may be interfering with your happiness and effectiveness. My approach varies with your particular needs but is always rooted in a safe and caring relationship and dedicated to promoting positive change.

I believe that individuals deserve to live their life with less difficulty no matter how their biosocial makeup has been developed. Life continues despite how intensely challenging it can be. We are not in control of most situations, except of our own thoughts and actions. We do have a choice to continue to move forward in any circumstance that we are in, even if we feel like we can not. This can feel overwhelming and difficult, or even lonely, to take that first step. With a safe therapeutic space and down to earth soothing tone, we can work through these vulnerable steps together.

Do life stressors and responsibilites at home, work, or school have you feeling out of balance or overwhelmed? Are you experiencing less joy in activities or relationships? As an Individual and Group Psychotherapist, I will help you identify and work though thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and events that create barriers to wellness. My clinical approach focuses on the whole person with application of Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior strategies, psychodynamic, and holistic concepts. Southern NH Counseling, provides a safe, caring and professional environment. I look forward to talking with you to assess your needs. Together, we will create a supportive plan.

Therapy often leads to a significant reduction in feelings of distress, increased satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, greater personal awareness and insight, additional skills for managing stress, and resolutions to specific problems.

My approach to treatment is very client-centered - people enter treatment at various stages of readiness and I am here to meet you wherever you may be. I understand the nuances of beginning therapy, meeting a new therapist, setting goals, sharing personal information, and ironing out your biggest concerns - even when you feel unsure. My hope is to help each client unlock their sources of happiness and hope so they can confront whatever challenges they are facing - mood issues, anxiety, substance issues, family dynamic concerns, trauma, interpersonal relationship issues, school-related problems, self-harm, gender issues, etc.

I value creating a therapeutic plan for you that is effective and offers tangible outcomes tailored to meet your personal objectives.

I have no openings, unless you are a previous client. I don't take insurance. Payment is at time of session. Sessions are online. My specialty is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) which research has shown to be effective for many types of mental health and relationship issues. CBT focuses on solving current problems in a time-sensitive and structured way, along with teaching clients how to modify thinking and behavior that is getting in the way of living the life they want. I work with clients to help them get through their current crisis, and if needed, to explore past issues that continue to make it difficult to move forward.

Your life hasn't turned out the way you planned. Anxiety or depression are making you feel stuck...like you don't recognize yourself anymore. Maybe you are considering a divorce, you've gotten sick, you've lost your job, or you've had a loved one die. Situations like these and others can leave you feeling angry, heartbroken, and confused. Having a safe place, and the support of an experienced and compassionate therapist during those ups and downs can be transformative.

I provide a safe space to process difficult life situations and to create healthy, positive and lasting change. When adults struggle, we often want to fix our problems immediately or avoid them altogether. But for lasting change to occur, experiences must be processed at a deeper level. I thrive on the ability to provide you with tools to create lifelong change.

I believe that leading happy and fulfilling life is within everyone's grasp when they are enabled with the right tools. Regardless of what problems my clients might be struggling with (anxiety, depression, relationship issues, etc.), I strive to enable my clients to thoughtfully and strategically manage their lives so that they can feel confident and capable of solving any current or future problem they might encounter.
