My goal as a counselor is to assist you in empowering yourself through balance, awareness, knowledge and skills that enable you to gain a sense of meaning in your life.

Are you struggling with problems like self-sabotage, difficulty making important decisions, feeling like your world has turned upside-down or have anxiety? I understand that life can feel overwhelming for many different reasons, and perhaps seem even more so during the situation you are in right now. In spite of all this, I want you to know there is help and hope. I offer a safe and judgment-free environment to explore the issues, circumstances, relationship(s), thoughts, feelings and perspectives that have you searching for relief.

My goal as a therapist is to empower clients to live more mindfully. I believe that we each have the power to gain insight into our thoughts; increase awareness and connection with our feelings; more effectively manage stress; and make the changes in our lives that are necessary to function more fully in relationships, and work. My role as a therapist is to facilitate this process. I work with clients on issues such as addictions, depression, anxiety, learning difficulties, conflicts within families/couples,and anger management.

I strongly believe that the quality of the relationship a person has with their therapist is the most important factor for successful therapy. When we begin our work together, you will find that I am open-minded, non-judgmental, compassionate, and understanding. My work is holistic in nature, as I believe that all aspects of our lives have a huge impact on the way that we feel and how we function in the world. With guidance, coaching, and support, we will work together to help you to attain your goals and create a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor[LCPC] and a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist[LMFT] . I have worked in Kennebunk, Maine for 38 years helping individuals, couples and families identify, understand and transform their suffering. We first identify your goals and then look directly to the obstacles preventing you from reaching your goal. Therapy has begun!! As we explore these obstacles, we will look at the present moment, the valuable roots of the past and the treasured hope of your future happiness.

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.

Most people who visit a therapist know that there is something they want to change, but they may not know how. Sometimes feelings of anxiety or depression, problems with relationships, challenges at work, or other social difficulties are difficult to understand and resolve without help. In therapy, my goal is to help you foster greater self-understanding and develop strategies to live a more fulfilling life.

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.

Hi, I am a licensed Clinical Counselor and Family Therapist. I have over 35 years of experience working with children, teens, adults' couples and families. I continue to expand my learning and increase the skills that I bring to each session. I listen to what each client brings to the therapy and, in collaboration with them, I tailor the interventions to what seems best for that person, couple or family. My approaches include cognitive-behavioral (CBT), family systems, clinical hypnosis, and solution-focused therapy, along with and energy meditations and other holistic interventions.

**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!
