Psychotherapy

As a clinical mental health and substance use counselor licensed in New Hampshire, Maine, and Florida, I specialize in working with adolescents and families experiencing challenges with mental health and substance use. My work has been in a variety of settings including public and private schools, non-profit agencies for women, children, adolescents, couples, and families. I provide treatment that encourages individuals to embrace growth, healing, and personal strengths to gain satisfaction in their lives and challenges including:

• trauma

• addiction

• childhood trauma

• adolescent challenges

• child and adolescent behavioral difficulties

• symptoms of depression and anxiety 

• relationships

• school-related concerns

• learning challenges

• personal development

ONLINE THERAPY

Online Therapy provides the ability to maintain a therapeutic relationship with a counselor regardless of physical proximity.  The therapeutic approach is the same. Online Therapy also provides flexibility in client and counselor schedules. Many clients find a sense of comfort engaging in therapy from a familiar place such as home or work. 

Online therapy is not appropriate for all situations.  Consider face to face mental health treatment rather than online therapy for the following:

• If you are in an abusive or violent relationship.

• If you have been seriously depressed.

• If you have serious substance use dependence.

If you are having thoughts of harming yourself (e.g. suicidal thoughts) or harming someone else (e.g. violent thoughts towards others) or psychotic symptoms.  Please call 911 or 1-800-273-8255, which is the National Suicide Hotline. Text Line 741-741

I utilize a HIPAA-compliant online platform (Zoom or doxy.me) to meet clients online.  You will need access to a compatible device (computer, ipad, etc) with internet and audio/video capabilities.  

If you experience technical difficulties during an online session, please contact me directly at (603)-568-7844 or (619) 880-6638
