Hello, I’m Heather.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in New Hampshire who specializes in working with adolescents, families, couples and adults. I believe in a client-centered, systemic approach to therapy and integrate the client’s biopsychosocial factors into treatment as well as coordinating care between mental and physical health care providers. It is my responsibility to create and foster a safe environment by building trust and rapport with my clients so they feel comfortable in challenging themselves, experiencing difficult emotions and attempting new and healthier ways of living.

QUALIFICATIONS & TRAININGS

I gravitate toward an integrative and systemic approach that is client-centered and rooted in relational theories and evidence-based practices. I take on a trauma-informed approach to care in order to support, collaborate with, empower and create corrective emotional experiences with my clients. I am EMDR and DBT trained and also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory and Polyvagal Theory. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and have extensive experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, BPD, bipolar, grief/loss, troubled relationships and life transitions.
