My areas of expertise include grief and loss, cognitive behavioral therapy working with individuals who suffer from PTSD, depression, addictions and anxiety. If you need help with finding peace, joy, and balance in a hard chaotic world... I can help you find the tools that may help you achieve this. I tend to focus on finding meaning using a variety of approaches depending on the unique individual and their specific need. I believe if your willing to get help by even looking at this page, this is a start and there is hope for you. I specialize in addictions, co-occurring disorders, grief/bereavement, anxiety, depression, spirituality, and general mental health. We all experience moments in our lives when it seems our ability to handle life on life's terms has surpassed our ability. I believe these experiences can either shut us down further, block us or can serve as a springboard for personal growth. Similar to when an irrigation system is filled with debris and the flow of water is blocked, by removing our blockages we access the unlimited resources and healing mechanisms that lie within ourselves.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in New Hampshire and Vermont.. I have a particular interest in the aging population . I encourage my clients to cultivate and maintain a constellation of people, places and things that promote interdependence. My adult clients tell me that I help them to see their situations from an new angle. Therapy is an opportunity to discover new ways of thinking about one or more situations. I understand how frightening this can be. I continue to learn from my clients in a community mental center. It is important that my clients give me feedback about their therapy experience. Building and practicing effective communication is key in my relationship with clients.
