My approach emphasizes cognitive-behavioral techniques while utilizing a relational approach, which includes individually tailoring counseling to best help my client(s). In certain cases, I may also utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
I have worked with a wide range of clinical issues across the lifespan, with areas of special interest including adolescents, addictions, family issues, parent-child conflict, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, multicultural concerns, parenting concerns, behavioral difficulties, relationship issues, stress management, and organization management.
I help empower and strengthen my clients' existing skills which navigates people toward a happier and healthier life.
I am a strong believer in empowering individuals through knowledge and skill.
Prior to opening 713 Chestnut Street Counseling in 2008, I spent seven years working full time as a therapist in a grant based program that offered free services to children and their families.
Previous to that, I was a family worker employed by a non-profit agency that was located throughout New Hampshire. I have been working with children, adolescents, individuals and families in and out of the Court system since 2002.
Throughout my career, I have continued to stay current in best practice. I was chosen by the State of NH to participate in the IC&RC test questions development, serving as a Subject Material Expert for the Advanced Addictions national board exam.
I have participated and have served on multiple boards, including the NH Psychological Association. I also have been a participant of several published studies, including the Parent-Infant Attachment Project.
I have completed EMDRIA's EMDR specified training for Certification as an EMDR Professional, have maintained Certification as an Integrative Mental Health Professional, and well as Certification as a DBT Professional.
