Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in York, ME

I believe therapy is the process of making one's life more satisfying... whether that's by making minor "tweaks," or major overhauls- the intention is to help you find your unique strengths and gifts, decide what it is you believe needs to change, and empower you to take those steps forward! I believe that the job of a therapist is to support, and encourage, to listen and acknowledge, and to challenge our clients to see themselves in new ways. I approach therapy using a variety of techniques all intended to help clients develop insight into their own feelings and motivations, and to take the hard steps to achieve new growth!

As a therapist with over 20 years of experience, my goal is to help you live a more fulfilling life. Together, we will examine what is not working, challenge thoughts and beliefs that are unproductive and create a plan for change. As we work together, you will find new ways of coping and begin challenging thoughts, behaviors and feelings that no longer serve you.

Sometimes as we move through transitions in our lives, we may have difficulty making decisions. Feelings of anxiety or depression may develop as stress increases. I help people learn more effective ways to deal with life's challenges, to live more satisfying lives.
