I'm a counselor and ADHD coach, specializing in the treatment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD) for adults and couples. I also help adults overcome the lingering effects of childhood trauma (a.k.a. developmental trauma). Most of my clients have both. I also have experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder, another commonly co-occurring condition. I do not work with children. You may find counseling with me to be different than what you’ve experienced in the past. I use techniques that go beyond talk therapy, including EMDR, EFT/Tapping, and Ego State / Parts Work. Because sometimes, talking about it isn't enough.

Do you experience the outdoors as a place of healing and comfort? Can you imagine meeting with your therapist outside for support? To learn skills to improve your life and overall well-being? I love the outdoors and am excited to offer the option of meeting in person outside for therapy in the Portland and Scarborough areas, with telehealth as a backup when the weather does not cooperate. Indoors or outside, throughout the year, you can expect a supportive and comfortable atmosphere in which to heal and grow when you and/or your partner, or your child or teen meet with me for therapy.

Specialties: Couples/Marriage Counseling, Life Transitions, Anxiety, and depression. Life can be challenging, and sometimes you need support to navigate through difficult times. Stress, worry, and sadness can negatively impact our relationships, self-worth, and hope. I believe that even in the most difficult of times, people have an amazing capacity to grow, connect, and find meaning. Skills and insight acquired in counseling aim to empower you in regaining control of your life. Why wait? It's time for you to live the life you're meant to live and I'm here to help.

You can bring anything to the table and I will accept you as you are. I will listen and provide a warm, supportive and caring approach to therapy. My goal is to provide therapy that is suited to your needs.

If you are someone looking for a space to process difficult emotions, develop new strategies for day to day life, or need to reflect on lived experiences; I provide a safe space to do so. I offer support in safe exploration of thoughts, complex emotions, developing of tools and strategies to help you on your path. I believe strongly that the key to success in therapy is the connection with the therapist, and hope to be a part of your journey.

Hello, thank you for taking time to be here. Therapy is an investment in time, personal commitment, and money. My practice has shifted since COVID to seeing less people, for 60 to 90 minutes, and not accepting insurance. Hakomi, Mindfulness, Somatic Psychology, CBT and other modalities are part of the support provided as people move through grief (death, terminal illness, divorce...); healing past trauma, re-surfacing or ready to liberate from, the lies they embed in our narratives; and reclaiming the day to day wakefulness of being. Anxiety, depression, problems at the macro level, benefit from mindfulness and action, and therapy.

Happiness and inner peace are attainable if you wish to strengthen these areas of your life. Spending time addressing personal growth through therapy is a worthwhile investment in yourself and ultimately those you love. My approach to therapeutic work is based in a strengths-based, whole-person perspective. The clients I work with experience profound life changes and find that our time together builds personal resilience, life clarity and coping skills. My perspective is one of hope and compassion for the struggles in life that we all face as human beings.

Even though you have a natural, built-in ability to heal and regain balance, extra support from therapy can boost resilience in difficult times. Whether change happens through personal choice or unexpected circumstances, I will help you explore, understand and integrate these life-transforming experiences. I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my work as a psychologist, and I will support you to heal and grow in ways that are most meaningful for you.

Hello, I am currently unable to accept new clients! - Psychotherapy is a collaborative, goal-oriented process of talking and experiencing emotions in a welcoming and affirming space. Thoughtfully chosen to meet your individual needs, I integrate an insight-oriented approach with evidence-based skills and behavior-focused therapies (e.g. CBT or DBT). Our sessions will address your current concerns, symptoms, and personal goals as well as explore vulnerabilities from your past to develop a deeper self-awareness. Mindfulness and/or EMDR may be suggested to clients who might benefit from an emotion-focused, body-based treatment.

There are many paths to healing. My role as a therapist is to determine the approach that will work best for each client and to create the space for healing to occur. I understand the importance of balancing and integrating the emotional self, the thinking self and the physical self and have tools to intervene in each of these dimensions. I believe that for many, a root cause of suffering lies within the context of intimate relationships and that healing primary relationships can create healing within the self.
