Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
As someone who enjoys helping others, there are a ton of helping professions I could have chosen. I chose mental health care because for a long time mental health was not seen as a necessary part of health care. I chose clinical social work because of it's grass roots model of helping others find their way with the necessary supports in place. I have spent my career working in community mental health, working for and advocating for the necessary supports to be available to help all people, not just some people. It is important to me that people be able to have the ability to move themselves forward so they can build a sense of mastery and confidence in themselves.

Education
University of New Hampshire, Master of Social Work, Social Work, 2001 — I completed the full time MSW program at UNH from 1999-2001. During this time I had two internships, one at a K-8 school providing school based counseling to youth, and the second at a community mental health center working with youth and their families. My second year of the program I was a research assistant for one of my professors, helping to gather information for him to include in the textbook he was writing on social policy.
University of New Hampshire, Bachelor of Arts, Psychology, 1997 — During my undergraduate education I was in the Honors in Psychology program where I conducted research on the occurrence of eating disorders among college age women who had a history of sexual abuse. I presented my research findings at the Undergraduate Research Conference my senior year. I also worked as a research assistant in a cognitive psychology lab running reading experiments and gathering the data for a professor and his graduate students. I studied abroad for a semester, and graduated Summa Cum Laude.
Work HistoryI spent the majority of my career working with children, youth and families. I was trained in several therapy models to help kids and families cope with trauma that they experienced. I have been able to translate my skills into working with adults over the past few years. I can help with identifying feelings, developing coping skills and strategies to use when strong and distressing feelings are triggered and experienced, and addressing unhelpful thought patterns that keep the strong and distressing feelings going. I also enjoy educating others about the brain, why our responses to things are the way we are, and what we do and don't have control over with regard to our brain.
