Therapists in 04043

**Please note: I am Telehealth ONLY.** Starting this journey of self exploration can be both exciting and scary. I want to be the one to help you become comfortable with the idea of changing your life. There are a few crucial pieces that help make therapy effective: client-therapist relationship, increasing self-awareness both in mind and body, and finding coping skills that work specifically for each person. I treat each and every client uniquely, as every person has a story that needs to be told and held sacredly. If you are looking to explore your inner self and wanting more peace in your life, I'm here to help!

Congratulations on taking this step toward feeling good. Therapy is not one stop shopping. We are all individuals with different needs and motivations. I believe therapy works when the right fit is found with your counselor, allowing a relationship that is safe and trustworthy. I will work with you to design a plan that applies integrative therapies to address your current goals. I offer psychotherapy to individual adults. I also offer pre-marital counseling to couples. My office is located in private, easily accessed location in Kennebunk , and I strive to provide a safe, peaceful and comfortable environment.

As a Certified Career Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, I'm here to help you discover a career that energizes, fulfills, and inspires you. You've got a lot of great things going on in your life, but lately it feels like something important is missing. You give so much to your career, your relationships, and your family. You're doing your best to manage it all, but you feel like you're running on empty. Some days leave you feeling completely overwhelmed, anxious, burnt-out, or unclear about whether you're on the right career and life path. You know there's more out there for you, but you're not sure where to start.

Currently, my primary work is with Individual Adults, in Kennebunk, Maine and Telehealth in Maine, Massachusetts and Florida. We all want to be happy. And many of us are happy much of the time as ordinary events pass through us without leaving a mark. And then, something happens and we're stuck. These events narrow our view of ourselves, our world and keep us from living to our full potential. Your problems affect who you are today and you want things to change. I can help you reduce what keeps you stuck so that you can move forward living your life in a more fulfilling and meaningful way.

I strongly believe a relationship in which one feels heard, not judged and allows open and honest communication is of utmost importance. My calming nature and down to earth personality make clients feel welcome and accepted. I support my clients in finding their own strengths and possibilities. Together we will problem solve, search for more effective coping strategies, gain alternative views and create plans for wellness. While I work with all ages, most often you'll find me working with children and teens and collaborating with their caregiver(s), as they are my best resource.

Addressing difficult issues and facing challenges and changes in one's life can be a very difficult process. I believe in taking a positive approach to this work and focusing on the strengths inherent in individuals, their families and other connections that serve in making this path easier.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults, with emotional or behavioral difficulties. The issues I see most in my practice are: anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and family relationship difficulties. I work primarily from a strengths-based, cognitive -behavioral approach, using psycho-education, coping skills training, and positive psychology. With adult clients, I explore the impact their family of origin has had -- good and bad---and help them develop healthy habits in response to those issues. Always, I feel the relationship between client and counselor is part of the healing. Currently I am taking only self pay

I am currently accepting new clients. I firmly believe that everyone possesses the ability to heal and grow. My role in the process is to help bring forth awareness and assist in helping clients cultivate coping skills. I am particularly interested in the mind/body connection and believe that with the use of mindfulness, individuals can implement an integrative approach to facilitate multi-level healing. My philosophy taps into various parts of the self in order to create inner cohesion. By developing self-compassion and acceptance, we can begin to embrace our whole selves and manage anxiety, stress, and relational issues.

Do you suspect that you or a loved one is on the autism spectrum? I can help you in exploring this question and considering its personal, vocational, and family implications. I specialize in working with older adults who are diagnosed or seek diagnosis. I also work with teens and children/families. I can help communication between autistics and "neuro-typicals." I am active in an adult autistic peer support network and can help you connect with other autistics for support if you wish to do so.
