Claremont was named for the beautiful mansion of Earl of Clare in the mid-1700s, and the mansion still stands as a statement to the colonial splendor that met settlers of the time period. Just as Claremont has persevered over the centuries, so too can people persevere in  their personal lives. However, sometimes life doesn’t seem as peaceful as the beautiful lawns of the mansion.

If you are struggling in your personal life, there is help. Counselors in the Claremont area are available now to talk to you, providing support and teaching coping skills to get you through the worst times of your life. If you need a therapist, contact us today.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I began my journey into the helping professions in 1995 at Stetson University. In 1999 I graduated from that institution with a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a minor in Music. After a brief hiatus to "catch my breath", I returned to school at the University of Central Florida. I completed my studies at UCF in 2002, graduating with a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology. Following a 2 year post-Masters internship and a wealth of real world experience I was awarded my license in Mental Health Counseling in 2007. My approach to therapy varies from person to person. Some may benefit from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective to tackle negative thoughts and emotions while others may benefit from a more Existential approach. My focus is always on the needs and wants of the individual seeking help. Regardless of the method we employ, I also view therapy as a process that should be productive. A person receiving counseling should be able to see increased insight, more effective coping strategies, clarity, better decision-making skills or a combination of these. The counseling I provide is typically a combination of multiple modalities, including Solution Focused Therapy. The core values that drive my philosophy with regard to therapy are choice, authenticity, honesty, cultural awareness and positive regard. You are a unique individual. There has never been and will never be another you. Who you are is determined by a host of factors including genetics, upbringing , your heritage and the culture in which you were raised. You've taken an amazing first step by coming to BetterHelp.com. If you like, we can take the next steps on your journey together. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello! I am a licensed therapist in the states of New Hampshire, Utah, and Pennsylvania, with 30 years of professional experience and have both MA, and PsyD degrees in clinical psychology. I have worked extensively with clients experiencing addictions and other compulsive maladaptive behaviors; as well as with clients with symptoms of depression, anxiety; and issues related to grief and loss, meaning and purpose, spiritual and religious conflicts and beliefs; and experiences that would be typically categorized as unusual or paranormal/supernatural. At Betterhelp, I am limiting my practice primarily to working with individuals who are experiencing maladaptive behaviors such as substance abuse/dependence, or sexual/ gambling addictions that are causing difficulties in a client's life; or to clients who have experienced trauma, profound loss, existential crisis related to changing worldview, spiritual/religious issues; or anxiety/depression/confusion related to things that may be more difficult to explain, process and come to terms with - like anomalous, paranormal, near-death, UFO, and other unusual experiences. Within this last category there might be apprehension about sharing these experiences with a health care professional, but I am here to help eliminate that apprehension. These types of experiences (like NDE) can be both powerful and enlightening, but also confusing and disturbing at times. If you have had these types of experiences, and would like to explore them in a safe space, please consider me. Taking steps to explore, process, and integrate personal experiences takes courage, but can also be very therapeutic and healing. I am here to support you in that process.

I am licensed in Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Connecticut with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression and other life issues. I operate from a mental wellness perspective as opposed to a mental illness perspective. This means that you, the client must be seeking mental wellness and believe that it is possible. If you have been told that you are damaged, broken, or defective and you prefer not to view yourself that way I can help. I teach clients how they are creating their moment to moment experience using three universal concepts of mind, consciousness, and thought. When clients are able to realize how they are creating their painful experience of life, they become able to stop doing that. They experience a dramatic paradigm shift that empowers them to be happier, more content and peaceful than they ever imagined possible. *** This is not to deny that you are currently having or have had very painful experiences. It is an invitation see something new that can empower you to move forward with a calm and clear confidence.

Together, we’ll work to help you clarify your goals, strengthen your coping skills, and create your vision of a life worth living. It’s not always easy to open up about our emotions, fears, or dreams. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and work toward your goals and aspirations. We all face challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone—or in silence.
