About
As a counselor who has worked significantly with trauma, I understand that people have innate strengths and that there is power in being able to voice our stories and not carry the weight alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 6 years of experience. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who have been impacted by trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also have experience supporting individuals coping with grief, loss, and traumatic brain injuries. I’m passionate about helping my clients navigate emotional challenges, strengthen their relationships, and discover the resilience within themselves to live fuller, more balanced lives.
I earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. I am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing.
Healing takes courage, and I deeply value the strength it takes to begin that journey. My goal is to provide a warm and caring space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. Together, we focus on progress, resilience, and healing in ways that truly matter to them.

LGBTQIA+ counseling is a type of queer affirmative counseling dedicated to assisting individuals and couples in navigating the intricate intersections of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and mental health, with a primary goal of fostering well-being, self-acceptance, and affirming a client’s life experiences as a queer individual. Although not all LGBTQ+ individuals seek specialized counseling, a substantial number discover vital support and empathy within these inclusive and affirming therapeutic settings.
Thriveworks LGBTQ+ counseling in Bedford, NH typically begins with an initial assessment to understand your specific needs. LGBTQ+ counselors aim to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment for anyone within the LGBTQ+ community by encouraging self-acceptance and offering an understanding of your identity and experiences. LGBTQ+ therapy addresses issues like coming out, discrimination, mental health challenges, and gender transition, and provides support for LGBTQ+ relationships.
LGBTQ+ counseling is incredibly important because it can help queer individuals accept their identity, learn self-love, and give them important tools for facing the challenges of being a queer person in today’s society, among many other benefits. LGBTQ+-affirming therapists can understand the unique perspective and experiences of queer individuals as they help them process past trauma, address family conflicts, treat issues with anxiety, and more.
Thriveworks LGBTQ+ counseling in Bedford, NH is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for LGBTQ+ counseling depends on the specific needs and goals of the individual.
