Counseling Services Overview

Services are available in my peaceful Hampton Falls, New Hampshire office, virtually throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts, or, in select circumstances, in the comfort and privacy of your home within my local service area. As a licensed mental health counselor in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts, I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, providing individualized care that respects each person's strengths, life experiences, and current circumstances.

 

Whether you're navigating life's challenges, relationship concerns, emotional overwhelm, parenting, major life transitions, or simply looking to better understand yourself, we'll identify the approach that best fits where you are today and the direction you'd like to move forward. My integrative approach combines traditional counseling training, Energy Psychology methods, and holistic healing tools to support emotional well-being, personal growth, and healthier relationships.

 

Session Formats

Session length and frequency are individualized based on your goals, clinical needs, service type, and scheduling availability. Depending on your preferences, sessions may be scheduled more than once per week, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or on a flexible basis.

Please note: Appointments are scheduled directly with me by phone or email. I do not currently offer online self-scheduling.

 

Complimentary 15-Minute Consultation

If you're unsure which service is the best fit, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. It's an opportunity to discuss your questions, explore your options, and determine whether we're a good fit to work together.

Counseling Session Discussion

Adult Individual Counseling

$175  1-hour
$225 for 90-minute initial orientation session

For adults (18+) who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the direction of their lives and are seeking individualized support to create meaningful, lasting change. Using a holistic, whole-person approach, we'll work together to identify the underlying patterns, emotional barriers, and life experiences that may be contributing to your current challenges. Rather than simply managing symptoms, our work focuses on increasing self-awareness, learning and applying new practical skills, building confidence, strengthening emotional resilience, and helping you move forward with greater clarity, intention, and alignment with your values and authentic self.

Adult Individual Counseling w/Reiki Energy Healing

$225  90-minutes

In addition to my holistic counseling approach, some individuals may benefit from incorporating Reiki energy healing to promote relaxation, emotional balance, nervous system regulation, and overall well-being. These 90-minute in-person sessions include approximately 45 minutes of counseling, 30 minutes of Reiki, and 15 minutes to reflect on your experience, discuss insights that emerged during the Reiki session, and explore any meaningful observations that may support your continued healing. For more information about Reiki, please visit the Holistic Support Services page.

Child/Adolescent Counseling

$195  1-hour
$250  90-minute initial child/family-integrated orientation session

My personalized, holistic approach to counseling children and adolescents combines evidence-based clinical counseling with holistic strategies to support emotional growth, confidence, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and healthy coping skills. Through a compassionate, relationship-centered approach, I help children and adolescents better understand themselves, strengthen resilience, and learn practical tools—including age-appropriate Energy Psychology concepts and techniques—to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and emotional balance.

Building Trust First

Every child and adolescent engages in counseling differently, and I believe meaningful progress happens through trust—not force. I focus on building rapport, meeting each young person where they are emotionally, and encouraging participation at a pace that respects their comfort level and readiness. No child/adolescent will ever be required to participate in a way that feels emotionally unsafe or beyond what they are ready to explore.

Counseling Session Moment

If a child/adolescent is hesitant to engage, I will collaborate with both the young person and their parent(s)/guardian(s) to explore alternative approaches and determine the most supportive path forward. When appropriate, I may also recommend additional services or referrals to help ensure your family receives the support that best meets your needs.

​

When clinically appropriate, the last few minutes of a session may include an optional parent/guardian wrap-up to review relevant insights, discuss skills and strategies, and support continuity of care while respecting the child/adolescent's privacy and therapeutic relationship. Whenever possible, I involve the child/adolescent in deciding what they feel comfortable sharing and support them in communicating those takeaways with their parent/guardian, encouraging continued growth and practice between sessions.

Couple Counseling Session

Couples & Two-Person Relationship Counseling

$225  1-hour
$275  90-minute couples initial orientation session

Whether you are romantic partners, family members, or close friends, my holistic approach to relationship counseling focuses on strengthening the relationship itself. In these sessions, the relationship becomes the client, with each person's thoughts, feelings, experiences, and perspectives contributing to a deeper understanding of the whole.

 

Together, we work to identify patterns that may be keeping your relationship stuck, strengthen communication, increase emotional attunement, and learn new practical skills for navigating challenges with greater clarity and compassion. Rather than focusing on blame or determining who is "right," our work emphasizes collaboration, curiosity, and creating healthier ways of relating to one another.​

Every relationship is unique, and meaningful change begins with a willingness to explore the process together. While individuals may enter counseling with different perspectives, levels of motivation, or degrees of openness, trust and meaningful progress often develop over time through shared experiences, thoughtful reflection, and the consistent application of new skills and strategies. Whether you are seeking to resolve conflict, navigate a life transition, rebuild trust after relational challenges, or intentionally explore greater vulnerability together to cultivate deeper emotional safety and connection, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help your relationship continue growing in healthy and lasting ways.

Holistic Family Counseling

$250  1-hour

$325  90-minute initial family orientation session

Families are complex, and the challenges they face rarely have a single cause. My holistic, family systems approach provides a supportive environment where each family member has an opportunity to be heard while we explore the patterns, experiences, and emotional dynamics that have shaped your family over time. Together, we work to understand where your family is today, where you hope to be, and the practical steps needed to move toward healthier relationships and stronger family bonds.


As a licensed mental health counselor, I consider how individual mental health concerns may be influencing the family system. Anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, chronic stress, unhealthy coping patterns, and other emotional or behavioral challenges can all affect how family members communicate, respond to one another, and navigate conflict. Through family counseling, we create space

Happy Family Gathering

to better understand these influences while strengthening communication, increasing emotional awareness, developing healthier conflict-resolution skills, and creating practical strategies that support lasting change.

 

Whether your family is navigating behavioral concerns, communication breakdowns, significant life transitions, grief and loss, changing family roles, or longstanding relational patterns, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where difficult conversations can be facilitated safely and respectfully. Together, we work toward repairing trust when possible, establishing healthier patterns of interaction, creating shared agreements for moving forward, and building a family environment rooted in mutual respect, emotional safety, and lasting connection.

One Final Thought

Sometimes you don't know what you don't know... until you know.

Many of our greatest breakthroughs come when someone provides the safety and space to help us see what was impossible to recognize when we're in the middle of it. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to help my clients discover those moments of clarity every day.
