If you found my site you may just be in the right place! I believe our most challenging times can also be our greatest opportunity for change. With the right perspective and proper non - judgmental support, difficult times can often assist in the transition to build a stronger, more resilient you. I can provide you with a safe and nurturing environment to address these challenging times. If your goal is to move forward, I focus on helping and challenging people, not treating a diagnosis. I see people creating relationships that work, finding direction, making changes and thriving in life-stage transitions.

Whether you are struggling with mental health issues, your identity, or just need someone to talk to, I believe help should be non-judgmental and accessible to everyone. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, high school and college students, people of all spiritual or religious beliefs (including people without religious beliefs), and self-identified “people-pleasers.”

I support long-term couples struggling with conflict and disconnection who may feel unsure how to solve their challenges or rekindle their loving dynamic. I help couples improve communication skills, identify and express underlying vulnerable emotions, and ultimately deepen their intimacy and romantic connection. I also support folks with dysfunctional family and/or religious histories, who are interested in alternative healing approaches. This may entail witnessing the pain and patterns of the past, and then potentially reclaiming and reimagining their relationship with spirituality.

Evolve or repeat. Therapy, by nature, can be challenging. It can appear scary, overwhelming, and anxiety-inducing; you are essentially vocalizing (to a stranger!) your challenges, weaknesses, mistakes, and insecurities. And sometimes that needs to happen to grow. My mantra over the last year has been to evolve or repeat. That’s it. Evolve or repeat. Frequently we establish and maintain patterns of thoughts and behaviors, based on past experiences and memories which are unhealthy and unproductive. I found these patterns and cycles are the root to unhappiness and barriers to change.

I believe we all have times in our lives when we become overwhelmed and may need help from another person. If this is your first-time seeking help, it can be intimidating to choose a therapist and begin the journey to healing. My goal is to create a safe place for clients to explore challenging areas of their lives. I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, substance abuse, relationship issues and life transitions. No matter where you find yourself in the life journey you will be welcomed and provided with compassionate support.

Welcome! Congratulations for taking the first step-it truly takes courage to seek out assistance. Clinical therapy can be a space for exploration, reflection, healing, and growth. Using your life experiences, strength, and values, I partner with you to navigate what you are seeking to understand or change. I work with people experiencing anxiety, burnout, depression, unresolved trauma, and relationship issues as well as other needs.

I create a safe space so that you can discover the sources causing patterns identified as unproductive so that renewal and recovery becomes a possibility. I work with 18-65 y/o women of all gender and sexual identities who are looking to heal from wounds of their past that have caused patterns they feel stuck in and who want freedom. I utilize Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Attachment-based interventions from the past 15 years of my training, guidance and experience as a mental health counselor and addiction specialist.

Immediate openings via telehealth for Maine, Vermont + North Carolina clients - Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a trauma therapist who works with women, trans + non-binary teens + adults. I focus heavily on my client relationships to ensure you can feel safe and comfortable with me. While trauma is my specialty, I also find much meaning in helping women feel empowered by (instead of a prisoner to) their depression. My hope is to help you live your life in a more meaningful and self-compassionate way. You deserve all of the kindness and warmth.

Self-judgment and invalidation can weigh us down and prevent us from becoming our full, authentic selves. I have witnessed the powerful effect on people's lives when they begin to unhook from their negative self-talk and open themselves up to self-compassion. Often the roots of depression, emotion dysregulation, anxiety, difficulty navigating relationships, and self-judgment are in a history of trauma, repeated invalidation, or chronic stress. I help people recognize these roots while also staying mindful in the present. I help folx learn coping skills to tolerate distress and move through difficult emotions.

Maybe it’s that feeling of dread you notice first thing in the morning, exhausted before you even start your day. Over-thinking every choice and every interaction is a full time job and most days you would rather hide in bed. On top of that, maybe you feel guilty for feeling what you feel & it's exhausting to work so hard, only to constantly feel like you’re not measuring up. Deep down, you know the controlling, the numbing, the yelling, is not how you want to live your life. You have a sinking feeling that issues from the past are preventing you from moving forward in your life and, deep down, you know you need some support.

Finding the right therapist for you is a primary factor in whether or not your therapy will be successful. I believe in creating a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere where people feel safe to explore painful feelings and negative thoughts/behaviors. My approach includes a balance of support and challenge. My goal is to bring warmth, humor, and an interactive style to our sessions. I do not believe in "one size fits all," and therefore, I strive to create an experience that is unique to you based on your individual needs and goals for therapy. My work is grounded in current research/education on mental health and well-being.

You feel lost lately and overwhelmed. You are sad. angry. worried. empty. You need something to change but you're trapped. How can you mend your relationship? or find a relationship? Your deep self is telling you it's time to heal the old wounds. But nothing you've tried has made a difference, so now you are exhausted. And maybe even scared. I help adults who suffer from trauma, depression and suicidality, low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship issues, spiritual crisis, and grief. Together we will process your wounds and help you come to accept yourself, build resilience, and begin to truly communicate with those you love.

My practice and life philosophy is based on the conviction that all people have the potential to achieve their maximum potential, overcoming the impact of the trauma of their past. Most clients will need to complete an initial clinical assessment which includes your social environment, spiritual beliefs, physical health, economic stress, and trauma history unless a recent clinical assessment from a prior provider is available. This assessment may take one to three sessions. Please be aware that most insurers require that a diagnosis is made although often many diagnoses overlap.

I help those feeling anxiety and worry develop a greater sense of balance, compassion and connection with themselves and their lives. You’re likely kind and dedicated, but also stressed out and frustrated. Your time may be consumed with school, work, or loved ones, and there’s little time for much else, especially you. You may find yourself wondering and worrying a lot. Wondering if you did or said the right thing. While there’s a lot of good things about your life, there’s a part of you that knows it’s time for some kind of change. Call it your determination, or maybe that little whisper inside. Whatever it is, you're ready.

Does it feel like you keep hitting the same wall of anxiety, overwhelm, and self-criticism? Maybe you’re generally satisfied with where you’re at in life but can’t seem to stop that nagging feeling that you “should” be doing more. Despite being adaptive, intelligent, and insightful, you still never quite feel "good enough". I want to support you in freeing yourself from the traps of family pressure, cultural expectations, and societal demands while stepping into your inherent worth and self-trust. As your counselor, I'll help you sort through your conflicting feelings, make peace with your past, and embrace your truth.

You notice yourself trying to manage heightened anxiety or panic associated with uncertainty. Changes in your environment, social interactions, and other people’s moods feel overwhelming. You tune in quickly to other people's needs while navigating the experience of feeling sensitive, shy, or struggling with self-esteem. When too much is going on at once you recharge by withdrawing to a quiet place to have a sense of relief. You may identify as a highly creative and innovative person wondering, “How can I get above my self-doubt?”
