Therapists in Laconia, NH
Living in the City on the Lakes is quite a privilege. Not only do you have the pleasure of enjoying lakeside life on one lake, you get the bonus of a second lake. Wherever you go in town, you’re bound to run into some water.
For some of us, however, all that water can be a little too much to handle. If you feel like you're drowning emotionally instead of treading water, you may benefit from talking to a mental health professional. Whether you just need a little support to get through a tough time, or more intensive therapy, reach out to a therapist today.

In coping with attention deficit problems, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, personality disorders and other mental health difficulties, the emotional pain we endure as the result of these difficulties can be devastating. Over the past 15 years, it has been my privilege to counsel people using a client-centered, strength-based approach, I guide people in unearthing and utilizing their own inner resources, while teaching them new skills, to overcome the difficulties they face stemming from mental health challenges. I utilize an eclectic approach, drawing from psychological and spiritual approaches, including mindfulness, psychodynamic, gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, humanistic psychology and self psychology – whatever approach or combination of approaches is the most useful to help you. I earned a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, California. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of California at Davis. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New Hampshire (LCMHC # 985), and a Masters Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (MLADC # 1001).
