Therapists in Maine

Trauma can leave us feeling adrift. Unhappy and unsure of who we are. Emotions may be blunted or they may swing. This unhealthy way of being in the world negatively impacts our relationships, jobs, and friendships. To create a life that works for us we need to heal from our trauma; to nurture and strengthen a place within where we can make healthy choices. We can grow to honor who we are at our core and live from there.

I specialize in working with preteens, adolescents, and young adults and am very comfortable working with adults of all ages. I use an individualized approach that is based in mindfulness and compassion and draws from emotionally focused therapy, attachment based therapy, and internal family systems concepts.

Accepting Couples (Self-pay only) and Individual clients (with Mainecare or Self-pay). If old wounds and patterns hold you back, you may feel supported by my integrative, holistic counseling style. I work from a neurobiological, attachment-based perspective, with a special focus on communication skill-building. Through mindfulness-based, values-driven work, we will examine what might be holding you back, and together navigate the journey you are on towards greater well-being.

In my work with individuals and couples, I engage in each therapeutic relationship with a warm, reflective, and grounding presence. I believe firmly in the worthiness of all to a sense of belonging, dignity, and agency and have witnessed time and again how therapy can be a powerful tool in accessing these needs. Being heard and understood within a supportive therapy environment allows us to both uncover our innate strengths and cultivate the skills and insight necessary to reduce suffering. Regardless of how ingrained and automatic our patterns might be and how stuck we might feel, a more peaceful life is possible for each of us.

Clients come to me feeling stuck, alone, scared, insecure and overwhelmed, not good enough. My clients walk away from me with more confidence, more clarity of who they are and what they need, more deeply attached in healthy relationships, with more ease and balance in life, more able to face life’s challenges with a sense of possibility and hope. Couples learn to change the cycle of interaction so they feel more emotionally connected and secure. I provide compassionate, focused, trauma informed and attachment based emotionally focused therapy to regulate and heal your hurt and create secure attachments- with yourself and others.

Bringing both passion and compassion to my work, I rely on my training in grounded and dynamic approaches to therapy. Whether working with couples or individuals, I draw on my strong intuitive sense and an innate belief in my clients’ ability to heal, change and grow. My training includes many approaches that support individuals and couples using attachment-based, body-oriented, brain-informed approaches to transforming old patterns.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, trauma (including unresolved childhood wounds), and relationship issues. Many of my clients come to therapy not knowing what exactly is holding them back but know they are not satisfied with the way things are going and are ready for something to change. Understanding how our past impacts our present is often very empowering; as a trauma focused therapist, I am able to help you examine how your past experiences play a role in your present day life, as well as, provide the necessary treatment to alleviate/reduce the negative impacts.

I understand that it takes a lot of courage and strength to seek help at any stage of life. I provide a safe and welcoming space for individuals across the lifespan who are interested in improving their mental health and relationships through individual and family therapy. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and families who are struggling with life transitions, experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, exploring identity and sexuality, dealing with the effects of grief or past trauma, managing challenging behaviors, or are feeling overwhelmed trying to balance the responsibilities of growing up or parenthood.

If your goals include relief from depression, anxiety, symptoms of mental illness, improving relationships, getting along better in the world, and improved quality of life, I want to work with you to achieve those goals. I enjoy working with adults with mental and emotional stressors, who are striving to stay happy, independent and self-sufficient. In addition, I work with adults with multiple diagnoses, who are struggling with substance use issues, and other harmful behaviors, to cope with underlying feelings from mood disorders, mental illness, and traumatic life experiences. Together we can find healthier ways to manage.

Life experience (and the thoughts and beliefs we hold), can control how we feel and directly impacts struggles such as grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma. I combine psychotherapy with holistic counseling to help you see a bigger picture for your life, and to help you change emotional, physical, and psychological upsets that interrupt the life you prefer to live.
