TNHC Clinical Team

I am a NH native and care deeply about the health and wellness of my community, which led me to a graduate degree in social work. I studied at the University of New Hampshire and hold a Masters Degree in Social Work with a Concentration in Integrated Mental and Physical Health. I have been in the field of social work for 10 years, where I worked with a variety of populations to include families, adolescents, individuals, and mothers to achieve treatment goals. I am a trained EMDR therapist through EMDRIA. My passion is working with those who suffer from medical trauma, women’s health issues, and those who work in the medical field who experience trauma personally and professionally. I am also a veteran and served in the United States Army, and feel passionate about offering EMDR therapy to military personnel and first responders.

When providing therapy to my patients, I take an integrative treatment approach to healing. I am trained in Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health, which incorporates healing with the food we put into our bodies. With this approach, I implement education on nutrition, herbal remedies, and other lifestyle habits into my work with my patients.

I am a 200+ Hour Registered Yoga Teacher through the Yoga Alliance and I am also a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I lead yoga, meditation, and group fitness classes. Given my experience and expertise in treating trauma, all of the classes I lead are delivered with a trauma informed approach.

When I am not guiding my patients through the treatment process, you can find me outside exploring the outdoors with my partner, daughter, and dog.

I grew up in New Hampshire, surrounded by all the beautiful natural spaces that this area has to offer. I was active in the outdoors from a young age, and my experiences in the outdoors have shaped me as an individual and as a clinician. After finishing my Bachelor’s Degree in Behavioral Neuroscience, I completed a Dual Master’s Degree in Social Work and Outdoor Education at the University of New Hampshire. This training taught me how to intentionally use wilderness and adventure experiences as treatment for mental illness. In over seven years in the mental health field, I have used this training in a number of different roles, including as a therapeutic adventure group facilitator, wilderness therapy field guide, and therapist at a wilderness therapy program in Utah.

I approach my work with clients through a trauma and attachment lens, meaning that I believe many of the challenges we face with our mental and emotional wellness can be traced back to traumatic or interpersonally disruptive experiences. I also believe in the healing powers of the outdoors, nature, green spaces, and movement. My goal is to help my clients find ways to integrate natural spaces and natural elements into their wellness routines, alongside traditional talk therapy and EMDR therapy. This could be something as high energy as going on a hike to regulate your nervous system, or simply tending to a small house plant to feel grounded. The possibilities are endless, and always guided by whatever feels right for you!

Some of my own favorite things to do in nature are hiking, snowboarding, surfing, and caring for my plants.

I believe in the power of healing and the ability of everyone to be able to overcome trauma and adversity. Having previously served in the military and first responder, and now as a school counselor for children, I am dedicated to the service of others with a humanistic, person-centered, and strengths-based approach. My passion is in helping others heal from the effects of trauma and the many other obstacles that life will present. Oftentimes the hardest step is the first step. With a soft voice, compassion, understanding, and acceptance, I want to take that first step with you and empower you to find strength and resilience.

Offering services through a person-centered, trauma informed, and strengths-based approach, I assist others in overcoming anxiety, trauma and experiences that have complicated their lives. Feeling comfortable in an environment where you are free to be vulnerable and free to be human is the first step in overcoming trauma without the fear of being judged.

I as well as so many others have experienced trauma and know the effects that it can have on others and ourselves, and the difficulties and challenges that come with it. We are all capable of so much more and the abilities are all within us to be well and heal. Whether you are a child, adult, first responder, or student, we can all heal! Let me help you!

I obtained my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rivier University. I have been in the field of mental health for several years where I have worked with a variety of populations to include children, adolescents, and adults. Prior to my work as a therapist, I worked for Community Mental Health Centers providing support to those in the community dealing with severe and persistent mental illness. My passion is working with individuals who suffer from generational/childhood trauma, victims of sexual assault, and transitional age youth.

I utilize a variety of modalities, including Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness.

Whether this is your first time in therapy or you have been in therapy for years, it is never too late to grow, evolve, and progress towards new beginnings. My goal is to help you heal in a space that is free of judgement; where you can feel comfortable, safe, and secure. I highly value the therapeutic relationship and believe that this is the root to successful therapy!

During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our two dogs, being out in nature, baking, and music.

It takes courage to show up to therapy and even more to engage in the work of ongoing introspection. During our time together, I’ll meet your therapeutic efforts with acceptance and kind regard; I understand how much of a challenge improving one’s mental health can be.

As a clinician, I aim to create a space where you feel safe to express yourself, free from outside judgment. My client-centered and strengths-based approach stems from believing each individual has the innate capacity to heal. While your path to healing is unique to you, our work will integrate and consider well-being from multiple sources, including mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.

I have a master’s degree in social work from the University of New England and am under supervision to obtain my social work license. My previous clinical experience includes working with pregnant and parenting women with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. I have also worked with young children and have undergraduate degrees in early childhood education and psychology from Gordon College.

I enjoy yoga, walks in nature, and spending time with my children and dog in my free time.

I can’t wait to start our work together.

I have always had a passion for helping  people which led me to pursue a degree in social work, graduating from Simmons University in 2022 with a master’s degree.

Since then I have had the opportunity to work in an integrated health care setting, providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I found my passion in working with a trauma and attachment lens, and have been lucky to have joined the Child Parent Psychotherapy  Network in New Hampshire. Along with trauma and attachment, I  also have a passion for working with grief and loss. “Each person’s grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed”- David Kessler. 

My goal is to help provide safety in session to allow each individual to work through challenges in their own way with a person centered approach. In my free time, you can find me outdoors snowboarding, hiking, running or practicing yoga and Reiki.

I first became interested in becoming a therapist when I realized the impact therapy can have on changing one’s quality of life.

My passion for mental health and wellbeing has led me to pursue a career as a therapist. I am currently studying Clinical Mental Health at Southern New Hampshire University. I am trained in EMDR through the EMDR Institute. I have been in the mental health field for 2 years working at a residential treatment center with adolescents. As I have continued to grow in this field, I have found my passion working with couples and in sex therapy.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive space for clients to feel comfortable talking about difficult problems. Through a positive and empathic relationship, I work with clients to meet their treatment goals and lead happier, healthier lives.

In my free time I can be found reading outside or playing with my dog.

Life can be full of numerous challenges which can lead to many different roads in our journeys. My mission is to provide support for positive mental health and well-being. I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental therapy space for children, teens, and adults from all walks of life by expanding your mind and expressing yourself openly and freely. We will work together to set goals and facilitate a positive change toward the life you want.

I hold a master’s degree in social work from the University of Louisiana and am currently under supervision to obtain my social work license. I have previously worked in different avenues with different age brackets. Starting my social work career working with teens and children in school and after-school programs, eventually focusing on adults primarily through community outreach and crisis work. Most recently worked with pregnant and parenting women with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorder.

I enjoy utilizing different paths that support therapy by focusing on the mind and body. Day to day I enjoy exercising, spending time with family, and engaging in outdoor activities.

You are the expert of your life, and let’s work together to build a happier and healthier lifestyle!

Throughout my education journey and experiences within the mental health field, I developed a passion for supporting individuals in achieving their goals and improving their overall well-being,whatever that may look like. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Masters Degree in Social Work in 2023 and am under supervision to obtain my clinical license. My clinical experience includes providing community based services to individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, as well as those living with co-occurring intellectual and developmental disabilities or traumatic brain injuries. I most recently worked within an Employee Assistance Program, providing short-term counseling services to employees of contracted agencies, focusing on work-life balance and navigating life stressors.

I strive to create a warm and welcoming therapeutic environment, where individuals feel comfortable to engage in self-exploration and discovery. I truly believe each individual has the resiliency and skills to achieve their goals, and I am grateful to be a part of that journey. Therapy is not a one size fits all and I work to collaborate with my clients, encouraging them to be in the driver seat when it comes to their treatment and goals. I use a combination of different evidence based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my dog, paddleboarding, listening to podcasts or music, and relaxing!

In addition to EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness-based interventions, I employ creative approaches to therapy that seek to meet the unique needs of each of my clients. Since no two clients are exactly the same, no two applications of evidence-based therapeutic interventions will be the same. As such, therapy may be augmented with creative application of interventions through art, writing, puzzles, and games.

My path to the mental health profession started with my work as an educator of middle and high school students. As a teacher I learned firsthand that the mental health of a student profoundly affects their ability to access education. Additionally, it became clear to me that schools are frequently places that exacerbate mental health struggles rather than ameliorate them. While schools are beginning to address the mental health needs of students, educators are often the ones who are handed this additional responsibility–usually with little or no training. This, along with the many pressures that teachers and other school personnel face, often creates a work environment that is intensely stressful and potentially traumatic for school employees. These factors also affect the parents and families of school-aged children. Given these realities, I enjoy working with educators, middle and high school students, and parents and families because the psychological health of the whole educational environment affects all of the parts.

I am also a strident believer in the power of communication as a tool for connecting, building resilience, and healing. While communication comes in many forms (e.g. art, music, creative writing) and conveys many things (e.g. fact, values, ideas, emotions) it is often overlooked as an important skill and vital tool. As such, developing communication skills is an area in which I enjoy working with clients.

I look forward to working with you toward your therapeutic goals.

As a clinician, my goal is to offer personalized care to address the unique aspects of self, goals, and challenges that you bring to our sessions. I aim to cultivate a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment that honors individual experiences and vulnerability.

I obtained my master’s degree from Southern New Hampshire University and am currently under supervision to obtain my license in clinical mental health counseling. My professional experience in the mental health and family services fields highlight my passion for working with children, adolescents, and adults looking to build on their inherent strengths and skills while developing new understandings and strategies to realign with their goals and values.

My counseling approach can be described as strength-based and person-centered with focus on the intricate relationship of the mind and body. In life, we may absorb and integrate difficult experiences which can contribute to feelings of dysregulation or dysfunction. I work with individuals with a range of life stressors, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and emotional issues. I incorporate well-known methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) layered with other creative and evidence-based techniques with the appreciation that there is no “one size fits all” approach. I am committed to continuously adding to my therapeutic toolbox to, in turn, support clients add to their own while on their journey of increasing awareness and understanding of their health, wellness, and healing.

Outside of the office, I enjoy time with my dogs, thrifting, crafting, and visiting with loved ones.

Whether you are an adolescent, adult, student, or community helper that is new to therapy or rejoining the process, I look forward to working with you to reach your goals for fulfilling, lasting change!

I believe that one of the most challenging things a person can do is to acknowledge that they want to improve their mental health and then to show up to their first therapy appointment. I understand the challenge that this can be and appreciate the steps it takes to improve your mental health.

I have always been drawn to helping others. I started my journey in the medical field and quickly realized that mental health was my true passion. I have obtained two Master’s degrees, one in medicine at MCPHS University and one in Psychology from Purdue University.

As a clinician I strive to create a safe space that is free of judgment and where you feel you can be yourself. My previous clinical experience consists of working with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders with a focus on abnormal psychology. I have a passion for helping others achieve their mental health wellbeing. I have a passion for working towards healing the whole person on their journey.

I enjoy spending time with my family and my dogs in my free time.

My passion for social justice is what led me to pursue a social work degree. I studied at Columbia University in New York City and have worked in homeless shelters, hospitals, schools, and community mental health centers. I love working with young adults in the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent folks, and survivors of sexual violence.

My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and humanistic. I am currently being trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and have experience delivering Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Mindfulness. I am also certified in Reiki and Trauma-Informed Yoga.

Above all, I believe in the importance and power of kindness and my main goal is for clients to feel heard, seen, and a sense of belonging. “The human in me sees the human in you.” We are a team and we do this work together.

Outside of work, I enjoy decompressing and grounding myself by connecting with nature, skiing, practicing yoga, reading a good book, or watching horror movies. At work I am known for being a fashion lover 🙂

A passion for justice, healthy relationships for children, and community healing motivated me to pursue a Masters Degree in Social Work following my undergraduate education in Neuropsychology; both degrees which I obtained studying at the University of New Hampshire in my home state. I have developed a diverse professional background over the last six years working with children, young adults, and families navigating a wide range of life circumstances including homelessness, substance use, child welfare system involvement, trauma, spiritual questions, and behavioral challenges. My areas of clinical passion include ADHD, adoption, childhood trauma, sports psychology, and parent-child relationships.

I aim to utilize a warm, holistic, and collaborative clinical style that places you in the driver’s seat of your healing. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships to promote goal achievement and increased self-esteem. I incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solutions-focused therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy to support clients at whatever stage of the journey they are in. I encourage clients to implement whole-person care into their daily lives by emphasizing the connection between physical, emotional, and behavioral wellbeing.

When I am not at the office I enjoy time connecting with nature and the community with my husband and two Poodles.

I obtained my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College. Throughout my career journey I have developed a passion about the connection between our minds and bodies and how to incorporate mindfulness into our daily lives.

I believe in overall well-being, including maintaining a balance between our physical and mental/behavioral health by developing self-awareness that can lead to positive change, personal growth and contributes to a healthier lifestyle. I have been in the field of mental health for several years working in various Community Health Care Centers providing integrative behavioral health services to adults, children, adolescents, and families from diverse backgrounds and cultural preferences. My work is centered around working with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, chronic illness, ADHD, parenting/family change difficulties and relationship problems utilizing evidence-based practices to meet individual’s unique needs. As a clinician my goal is to provide a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can feel truly heard and understood, allowing for positive change and improvement of overall wellbeing, as well as working collaboratively to empower, provide guidance, support and redirection throughout the counseling process.

I utilize a variety of theoretical approaches, treatment strategies and techniques focusing on a Person-Centered approach, combining various modalities including (CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (DBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Trauma Informed Care. During my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, walking and exploring nature, sitting at the park with my family and dog. I look forward to providing support towards your healing journey and personal growth!

I am driven by a holistic and humanistic approach to counseling that focuses on all aspects of an individual. My goal is to work in partnership with my clients to combine traditional talk therapy techniques with other aspects of wellness (ie. physical, spiritual, sexual, etc.) to empower them and enhance their overall well-being.

I am currently in the final year of my Master’s program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Rivier University and I am eager to bring my knowledge to True North Healing Center to help support clients.

Outside of my professional interests, I love to cook for my friends and family, read a good fantasy book, and go fishing at the beach.

After serving over five years as a Navy Corpsman, I pursued a career in counseling psychology to provide supportive care through a trauma-focused, person-centered approach. I’m currently working toward my Master’s in Counseling Psychology at Golden Gate University, with plans to graduate in August 2025. My journey in mental health began with my military experience, where I gained firsthand exposure to trauma and its lasting impact on individuals in mind, body, and spirit.

In my practice, I focus on supporting individuals affected by military service, family trauma, and sexual or childhood trauma. I’m passionate about addressing the mind-body connection, especially the ways in which chronic pain and emotional trauma intertwine. My approach is integrative, drawing from various therapeutic methods to create a personalized healing experience that aligns with each client’s unique needs and goals.

Whether you’re new to therapy or continuing your path, my goal is to offer a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space for you to explore, heal, and grow. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy reading, spending time with my fiancé and our two cats, and sharing my travel adventures on my blog.

The experiences of my family and friends, paired alongside my own life challenges and personal growth, is what fueled me along the path of pursuing a career in the mental health field. Prior to my graduation, I had the opportunity to provide academic and emotional support to elementary and middle school students in the Monadnock region during the COVID-19 pandemic. When I graduated from Keene State College in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I found myself working in community mental health. Providing support for teens and young adults throughout the New Hampshire area brought me a sense of purpose, inspiring me to pursue a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

As I continue to grow as a clinician, my goal is to create a welcoming and collaborative environment where my clients and I can work as a team to navigate life stressors, emotional struggles and the challenges that we as humans face everyday. I approach therapy using a cognitive behavioral lens, with a goal to earn my EMDR certification in the near future.

In my free time, I often find myself spending time connecting with nature and nourishing my relationships with my friends and family. I love to camp, spend time on the coast, and read when I have some time to relax.
