A consultation is a space to share what’s been feeling challenging, ask questions, and explore whether coaching or therapy feels like the right fit. there’s no pressure or expectation— the goal is clarity for both of us.

Yes. Individual therapy for adults is a core part of my work. Many of my adult clients are parents who are navigating their own stress, patterns, burnout, or emotional overwhelm — often connected to their parenting experience, but not always. You don't need to have a child in my practice, and you don't need to frame your reasons in terms of your parenting. If you're looking for clinical support for yourself, you're in the right place.

Parent coaching is non-clinical and focuses on nervous system awareness, parenting tools, and strengthening connection with your child. coaching is future-focused and practical, helping parents better understand behavior and respond with confidence.

Therapy is a clinical service provided by a pre-licensed social worker under LICSW supervision. Therapy may involve deeper emotional processing, diagnosis when appropriate, and treatment of mental health concerns. therapy services are available to New Hampshire residents.

If you're unsure which is the right fit, that's exactly what a free consultation is for — we'll figure it out together.

I work with adults and children. Individual therapy for adults — particularly parents — is a primary part of my practice. I also provide individual therapy for children ages 2–15, and parent coaching for caregivers at any stage. Adults do not need to have a child in my practice to work with me.

Yes. Many families i work with are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, shutdowns, or school-related stress. coaching helps parents understand what’s driving these challenges and respond in ways that support regulation and connection. you can learn more about therapy services for children and families that address these concerns.

Yes. Parent coaching is available virtually to families anywhere. therapy services are available via telehealth to residents of NH, ME, MA, VT, and NC. In-person location is in Portsmouth, NH. For The Grounded Parent course, all sessions are held virtually. I prefer to see children who are therapy clients in person if they are under 12 years old.

Yes. My work is neuro-affirming and grounded in nervous system understanding. Support is always individualized and responsive to each child’s unique wiring and needs.

A nervous system-informed approach recognizes that behavior is often a response to stress, overwhelm, or unmet needs rather than intentional defiance. This work focuses on understanding how the nervous system impacts emotions, behavior, and relationships, and supporting regulation before expectations or discipline.

Yes. I have a particular interest in and attunement to adoption-related experiences — both as a clinician and as an adoptee myself. I support adult adoptees and transracial families navigating identity, attachment, and the complexity of their family story. This work is always approached through an attachment and nervous system-informed lens that honors each family's unique experience.

Therapy services may be eligible for reimbursement through your insurance depending on your plan. I am not currently paneled with insurance companies, but I can provide a superbill — a detailed receipt of services — that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I'm happy to discuss this during a consultation. Parent coaching is non-clinical and is not covered by insurance.
