Life can be a roller coaster, thrilling, exhilarating, scary, and sometimes it can shake you to the core. When you are cycling through these emotions you may need help navigating through your feelings. A therapist can help you explore and process what you are experiencing in a safe environment. Therapy is sometimes the first step in moving forward and I am here to support you on your journey while helping you understand and explore every twist and turn. I build trusting relationships with my clients to provide individualize treatment, building on your strengths and unique qualities.

I am a psychotherapist with clinical training influenced by relational and systems theories. I hold a stance of preemptive radical inclusion to create experiences that involve all clients’ identities in the room.  I enjoy working with individuals, partners, and families to develop meaningful connections in their relationships, improve self-advocacy, and explore identity.

I now offer video conference appointments for Maryland and Maine residents; if you need to reach me the best method of contact is email. I am a provider for both Medicare and Tricare. If you are a returning client and interested in a video conference appointment, please send an email to inquire about my availability. I am available to see clients in assisted living and nursing home settings within a 1-1.5 hour drive from Newcastle, Maine. Welcome and thank you for considering my therapy services. *If using insurance, please call your insurance company prior to our first appointment to verify I am in-network with your plan.

Life is full of opportunities and challenges. I help people learn how their experiences shape their lives, and how to use their personal talents to face and resolve their issues and problems. I provide individual therapy, marital therapy and couples counseling, and family therapy so people can feel successful in all aspects of life. I use a very sensitive and patient listening style so we can focus on what troubles you. I hope you will gain greater insight and be able to make choices that fit best for you and those you love. Confidentiality and compassion are at the heart of my therapeutic work.

My approach to the therapeutic alliance is gentle and playful, yet direct. Therapy can be a fascinating collaborative journey of discovery and self-awareness that can be hard but empowering and fun, like exercising or completing a task. I am experienced treating a variety of issues to include trauma, anger, anxiety, grief, depression, men's and adolescent's issues, substance abuse and PTSD. I also offer life coaching, couples counseling and relationship skills. A big part of our lives is spent deciding how to respond to the hard times that inevitably come to us all.

Ideally, I try to create a comfortable environment so that the client can feel a connection. I realize that one of the hardest things to do as a person, is to admit that you need to talk a problem through with someone outside of your circle of family and friends. When meeting with the client, I try to distinguish where they are and go above and beyond to make the therapeutic process a success.

I love working with clients of all backgrounds, dealing with a range of problems. Our experiences of grief, fear, pain, anxiety and depression are universal, and I believe we can all work to make the distress and suffering that we experience manageable, and eventually lead fulfilling, positive lives.

"Each person is a unique individual in a different phase of their life journey". I believe that sometimes we need a collaborative partner to assist us as we deal with life's challenges in a productive way. As your therapist, I will provide an empathetic and non-judgmental style in a safe and supportive environment to assist you to work through difficult times. It is my belief that the relationship between client and therapist is fundamental to the healing process. This partnership can open one's life to new possibilities, and it would be my honor to assist you on this journey.

I am passionate about helping people create change in their lives through the process of psychotherapy and have 20+ years of experience as a counseling professional. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples to learn how to create healthy relationships and learn new ways of coping with life's challenges such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Couples can learn new ways of communicating and repair a relationship to create more intimacy. Together we can create counseling goals that fit your individual needs to create change in your life.

Our therapists are experienced in a broad range of mental health issues and use a variety of therapeutic approaches to compliment the unique needs of each individual. We believe that health comes from treating the whole person. Therefore, we seek to integrate emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions into the healing process. Although our clinicians have been trained in various methods of treatment, we tailor treatment to help meet your specific needs and not to a specific theoretical approach. Our therapists will help guide you through the exploration of values, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings to promote increased awareness of self and greater sense of well-being.

Life is full of bumps in the road and detours. Many of them we can navigate on our own. The big boulders and wrong turns, however, may require a guide and new tools. Depressed? Anxious? Stressed? Feeling stuck? Not sure of your purpose anymore? At a cross road? This approach is for those desiring strategies to come back into alignment and use obstacles as growth opportunities and self discovery.

What drew me to become a therapist and life coach was the desire to help people who feel stuck in some aspect of their life. Too often the focus is on the problem instead of the root cause and healing. It is my most sincere desire to help clients heal and grow from life struggles. If you have a strong desire for change, I encourage you to contact me and let the journey begin today. I realize that the thought of talking to someone about your most intimate life struggles can be a difficult one. I strive to foster a supportive relationship that is nonjudgmental.

Life is hard. It is also beautiful and rich with complexity. At times, we can find ourselves stuck and overwhelmed, confused, fearful, angry and grieving. It is human to struggle. We all need support in navigating challenges and healing wounds. As a body inclusive therapist, my intention is to help you expand your awareness with embodied compassion. From this awareness comes the power to transform. Together, we will explore the thoughts and feelings that create your reality, and with care and humor uncover possibilities. Many struggles are symptoms of a stressful, fast-paced world. I offer a soft place to land in a crazy world.
