The essence of my philosophy as a therapist is that each of us is whole, perfect, and complete. I don’t think of myself as a ‘healer,’ a fixer, nor an expert. I believe a skillful counsellor helps people remember that they aren’t broken, assisting them in uncovering the intelligence within themselves and within a situation. This gives rise to growth and unfolding. That’s my aspiration.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Practitioner in the State of New Hampshire, I offer counselling and therapy services to adult individuals. My physical practice is located in a home/office setting which lends an informal, less clinical quality to the experience. If you’re interested in working together, it’s good for you to know that I have my dog(s) with me.

With the priority placed on health and wellness, particularly since the onset of Covid in 2020, I am also able to meet with people over video, whether that be Zoom, Facetime or Skype. With Zoom, the client plays the part of host to each meeting and can send me an invite/link via email or text message.

One professional focus for me is assisting people in the resolution of trauma. I also enjoy meeting with people who are moving through significant life changes including grief, loss, illness, and death – relational and vocational changes, as well. Most of my clients experience some degree of anxiety and/or depression in connection with other circumstances and challenges. I find it is beneficial to help people understand and explore, first hand, the nature of their symptoms so that they can find a natural resolution to their suffering.

My background and training is based in Transpersonal Psychology, Gestalt Therapy, body awareness, and contemplative practice or meditation. I have discovered that frequently the path out of difficult life experience is to turn towards it. Being rooted in this ground of training has been immensely supportive to my journey with people in counselling and therapy, being with them as they discover more authenticity in themselves, their relationships, and their journey through life.

It’s good and worthwhile to mention that while many people seek counselling support in order to feel better, the therapeutic process can awaken uncomfortable experiences. It’s helpful and grounding to keep a sense of lightness and curiosity alive through the process. It’s helpful, also, to keep the lines of communication open with your therapist so that she or he can support you appropriately through the rockier moments.
