Psychodynamic Therapists in Manchester, NH

I believe the one of the most important parts of a successful and positive experience in therapy is the therapuetic relationship. Starting off my first priority is to make you feel comfortable being yourself, in a judgement free space. It would be my pleasure to walk with you as you pursue your mental health goals, and help you work toward overcoming any obstacles preventing you from living the life you want to live.

I believe that all individuals have the capacity to heal from trauma, learn new skills to help them face challenges, build better relationships with themselves and others, and live healthy, fulfilling lives. I take a holistic view of my clients and see emotional wellness as an integral part of overall health. I weave in my background of nutrition and athletics with a way of building self-esteem and resilience. I respect each individual's cultural history and believe that our differences make us more interesting.

I work with adults, especially those looking to heal from complex or childhood trauma, but welcome clients who have a variety of diagnoses and life circumstances they’re seeking support for. As a therapist with Autism and ADHD, I understand firsthand how trauma can be complicated by neurodivergence and why working with a professional who understands this is crucial to effective healing for those who are neurodivergent themselves. I have a special focus on the mind-body connection and offer both psychodynamic and somatic approaches.

Not accepting new clients at this time. I provide compassionate, supportive and caring counseling treating depression, anxiety and trauma for adults. I understand and appreciate how difficult the decision can be to seek counseling services. My first goal is to help you to feel welcomed, comfortable and safe. I will work with you from a place of respect and trust that allows for self exploration and growth. We will work to process the issues, gain perspective and work toward helpful solutions . Contact my office or visit website and request an appointment. I look forward to meeting with you.

It takes courage to show up to therapy and even more to engage in the work of ongoing introspection. As a psychodynamic influenced therapist, I seek to work in depth with clients examining both conscious and unconscious material to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and/or other mental health disorders. It’s an honor to serve as guide and companion to the exploration of client’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The aim is to seek greater awareness in your life, clearing obstacles to your life goals and purpose. During our time together, I’ll meet your therapeutic efforts with acceptance, compassion, and kind regard.

As a licensed therapist I offer counseling and consultation services to individuals, couples and families using Cognitive Behavioral, Family Systems, Psychodynamic and Solution Focused techniques. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns.

My practice focuses on the treatment of depression, anxiety, chronic stress, and complex trauma. My approach weaves together western psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and eastern mindfulness-based approaches rooted in trauma-informed, neurodiverse-friendly, intersectional, and anti-oppression frameworks.

I am committed to helping people resolve whatever issues they may bring to counseling. Together, we may journey into the past or stay firmly rooted in the present, confronting & transforming old behaviors, memories, or areas of less than optimal functioning. Since no one technique serves all, I offer a multidisciplinary approach. I often employ the expressive arts and an environmental connection with the spiritual, when appropriate and suitable for each of my individual clients. This results in a greater vitality, creativity, satisfaction, self-knowledge, clarity of expression, and holistic healing for most people.

I am a somatic psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, who enjoys working with people from all human backgrounds. I have been in practice 13 years. I specialize in trauma and attachment resolution, and the various mental/emotional/relational difficulties that can stem from trauma and attachment wounding. I also have a great passion and skill for working out patterns of oppression in the body. Aliveness, strength, respect, laughter, kindness, humility… these are all qualities central to the work I do. Together we will create an alliance to discover the true and beautiful health that exists inside you, and let your truest self shine!

Our collaboration within therapy will strive to encourage development that engages distress or suffering as a catalyst for healing to transform challenges into opportunities for growth. I am a Jungian oriented therapist that provides a evidence-based psychodynamic approach to wellbeing within a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space. Through our work together, we will support self-awareness and genuine ways of relating to your experience, ensuring therapy unfolds to empower you in creating your own life path. This encompasses the exploration of both conscious and unconscious influences on our lives.

I believe that therapy works best when a client is ready for change. Therapy should be a collaborative process between client and therapist. Client strengths, stressors, triggers, symptoms and environmental factors need to be explored in order to create insight. This insight, in turn, assists the client in establishing positive coping skills in order to create a happier and more fulfilling life. Change can be a difficult and intimidating process, but with the courage and strength of the client, anything is possible. Part of my role is to assist clients in understanding unhealthy patterns of behavior that can make them feel "stuck".

I realize that considering therapy may provoke all sorts of assumptions about the process. Reaching out can feel intimidating and you may put it off. I will provide you with an emotionally safe environment where you and I will explore your reasons for contacting me. You may be feeling sad most days or have experienced anxiety attacks that are preventing you from experiencing your best life. I understand the difficulties of trying to feel put together. We will explore the versions of what may be preventing you from experiencing inner peace while encouraging the emergence of your true self.

Are you experiencing memories of traumatic events that are impacting your life in a negative manner? Does it feel like the pain and self blame you are feeling will never go away? Are you struggling with feelings of hopelessness, grieving over the loss of a loved one, or experiencing difficulties in your relationships? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by visiting. It is understandable it is hard. You've likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years.

Everyone has a story to tell, a thread that consciously or unconsciously guides his or her behavior, wants, and motivations. In my practice, I try to help people who have become unhappy with their current pattern of living and have begun to think about building a clearer understanding of who they are and who they feel they would like to "be." I work to build a mutual appreciation for each other's story. Having received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral and Analytical Theory, I am able to provide an eclectic approach to working with a wide variety of clients' needs.
