About Me
Welcome and thank you for visiting! My name is Jill and I have been a practicing licensed social worker for over 20 years. I am licensed in the state of New York and New Hampshire. I received my Master’s in Social Work in 2001 from the University of New Hampshire.
I have spent my career working with children, youth and families in a community mental health setting, specializing in trauma. In the last three years I have moved to telehealth with adults, providing individual counseling for those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment to life changes and stressors.
I am trained in several evidenced-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
I love the mountains and being outdoors. I believe nature has a lot of healing energy to provide us. I love walking, hiking, camping, and biking. I am also a trained yoga teacher, and enjoy bringing yoga philosophy into my practice. I also have two cats, Cosmo and Chloe, and Cosmo often likes to join my sessions!
My Services
Individual Therapy
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
CBT is all about identifying unhelpful and unrealistic thoughts and re-framing them to a more helpful, realistic thought that can lead to less distressing feelings. I use this often, along with a visual aide of the Cognitive Triangle, to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
DBT has 4 different skill sets that I find to be useful for anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma related symptoms. I have worksheets I like to share that help explain the different skill sets and ways to practice the skills.
What is Solution Focused Brief Therapy?
With SFBT, I will explore with you times when you weren’t having the struggles you are currently having and what it was about those times that helped you cope. I help you identify and implement solutions that you have developed for yourself.
What is Motivational Interviewing?
With MI, I ask open-ended questions, give affirmations, provide reflective listening and summaries of what you said to demonstrate that I have listened and understand what you have told me.
Let’s see if we are the right fit.
If you change the way you look at things,
the things you look at change.
