About the Practitioner
Active in the field for over 15 years, I currently serve New Hampshire and Massachusetts as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I offer telephone and video sessions for adults (18+). The warm, respectful and humorous manner of family therapist, Virginia Satir, compassionate and skillful mechanics of Marshal Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communications, archetypal and mystic elements of Carl Gustav Jung, along with Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems model deeply inform my approach.
With a background in intensive in-home therapy, crisis support, long-term residential care, court-ordered diversion, group-therapy facilitation, co-therapy, laboratory research, large and small agency settings, group practice and private practice, I have served as an outpatient clinician, community outreach liaison, clinical supervisor, and program coordinator. While not for every clinician or client, I've found advancements in the delivery of telemedicine provide an exciting, dynamic and effective medium for my current work.
Therapeutic Style
My professional style is a mixture of who I am: heartfelt, inquisitive, thoughtful, encouraging and adaptive. From a place of compassion and curiosity, I support insight, skill and creativity around growth and stuckness, matching abilities and resources to needs, priorities, readiness and goals. Elements of my therapeutic style include: respect, trust, self-awareness, acceptance, sustainable change, balance, mindfulness, presence, relaxation, courage, and humility.
