You may be blocked or feeling helpless, stuck or at a loss for how to cope. You may be unsure where to begin or how to continue in your journey with more joy, meaning and purpose. I focus on your strengths and believe in the inherent wisdom each person has. I combine my life experience and clinical training. My specialties include helping people to navigate grief, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, problematic substance use, depression, and spiritual conflicts. I will journey with you nonjudgmentally to help you identify and work on your goals. I will model, facilitate, and help you discover new ways of coping, and behaving.

Have you ever just felt stuck? Maybe you've been in the same job for years and you want to make a change. Maybe you love your job but want to be a more focused and deliberate leader. Or maybe what you feel inside doesn't match with "how a man should act..." Perhaps you want to break the cycle and be a better husband, father, or person. Or maybe you just want to enjoy the person you really are without any masks, pretenses, or preconceived notions.

Accepting New Telehealth Clients: People who work with me will find a clinician committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment to explore, grow, and transform. The beginning of therapy with me focuses on developing a rapport so you can feel a level of comfort sharing your story. We will create a partnership to explore where to go in therapy. I lean heavily on years of training in narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma informed work along with my highly tuned intuition and compassion.

Do you find yourself struggling with life transitions, changes, anxiety, burnout, feeling stuck? Have you been told you are an Empath or HSP and/or are you part of the LGBTQ+ or Queer community? I offer a safe and authentic space to align with you and support your individual growth. I use more of a “coaching” style and help support others with finding their authentic selves through tapping into their intuition and own unique wisdom. We all go through times when we need extra support. Starting therapy can be a first step to to healing and creating the life you want! I want you to get back to your higher self and life purpose.

The purpose of my 40-plus years doing this work has always been to assist my clients to achieve the change they desire. I'm very aware of the courage required to ask for help as I've been there myself. The therapy process is a sacred collaboration that I'm honored to participate in. It's a practical problem-solving effort that results in definable results and doesn't go on and on. You'll know when you're finished. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Life can become overwhelming at times, yet I believe everyone has an innate drive to regain control, reduce emotional pain, become more resilient and empowered, endure changes, or face obstacles that prevent you from feeling like your true self. However, sometimes the path to feeling better can be difficult to see. As a mental health counselor, I offer hope and support to my clients as they work through their issues, and I help them rediscover their personal strengths to process, resolve, or overcome what is troubling them. Reaching out for help is one of the most courageuous ways for an individual to begin that journey.

LCSW in Bath, Maine with over 25 years of experience with adolescent, adult, couples, and family therapy. Psychodynamically trained with skills in EMDR and DBT.

** I am not currently accepting new clients, but will update when I have openings.** Sometimes life can be challenging. Kids don't always know how to manage difficult transitions or feelings by using their words. Instead, an unhappy or anxious child may present with behaviors that are upsetting. I can help discover underlying issues and guide young people in finding ways to better express what is on their minds.

Whatever challenge you are facing - anxiety, depression, feelings related to connectivity/isolation, general day-to-day issues that are adding up or becoming overwhelming, issues with life transitions, or issues with your partner, I will meet you (individuals or couples) wherever you are on your journey and provide a space where you feel seen and heard. We will work together to identify the emotions associated with the challenges in your life, process those emotions, and discover your strengths. I will form a collaborative relationship with you and be with you every step of the way as you make changes and discover your potential.

When we are faced with the common ebb and flow of life's challenges we sometimes cope in ways that may not serve our best-self, compromising our relationships, family, physical health, or career. This can leave us feeling out of balance, overwhelmed, and seeking a change. Through an integrative mind-body approach we will explore how the compromised aspects of your life impact you as a whole, while empowering you with tools and strategies to regain the balance you desire.

My goal as your counselor is to provide a safe and caring environment to help you adjust to the changes that you want to explore making in your life.
