People come to therapy when something in their life feels too heavy to carry alone. My role is to sit with you in that space, steadily, respectfully, and without judgment, so you don’t have to hold it by yourself. I’m a psychotherapist with nearly 30 years of experience, but what clients tend to notice first isn't my resume. It's the sense of calm, clarity they feel when we begin to sort through what's been weighing on them. I’m warm, grounded, and collaborative. I listen closely, notice the things beneath the surface, and help you make sense of the patterns shaping your life. I’m direct when clarity is needed, gentle when the moment calls for it, and I’m not above using a touch of dry humor to make the hard things feel a little more human. My approach is intentionally humble. You’re the expert on your life; I’m here to help you navigate it with steadiness, insight and compassion. Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more capable. They begin to understand themselves differently, communicate more effectively, and feel more grounded in their relationships and daily lives. My goal is to help you heal what hurts, strengthen what matters, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are, at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

"Growth occurs when individuals confront problems, struggle to master them, and through that struggle develop new aspects of their skills, capacities, views about life." -Carl Rogers. People seek therapy for many reasons. For instance, you may be looking for a place to process stressful events or address relationship problems. You may be yearning to interrupt your unhelpful patterns and ways of getting stuck, in order to find a life forward direction. Therapy is your time to focus on yourself and it is my goal to accompany you on your journey to growth in the most helpful and constructive way possible. My goal is to cultivate a judgement free safe space where important dialogue about healthy mental health and emotional health can be had.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New Hampshire rather than a city like Manchester?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in New Hampshire. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New Hampshire from Nashua to Concord! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New Hampshire.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Child or Adolescent?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Child or Adolescent, is filtering therapists in New Hampshire that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
