Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Alfred, ME

I strongly believe that the quality of the relationship a person has with their therapist is the most important factor for successful therapy. When we begin our work together, you will find that I am open-minded, non-judgmental, compassionate, and understanding. My work is holistic in nature, as I believe that all aspects of our lives have a huge impact on the way that we feel and how we function in the world. With guidance, coaching, and support, we will work together to help you to attain your goals and create a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

I believe that the most important indicator of success in therapy is ensuring that clients feel heard, respected, and that they have the space to discuss whatever they wish. I work to build a foundation of trust and believe that a collaborative approach in therapy is key. My approach is collaborative, providing guidance and gentle challenges to the client when therapeutically necessary. I am comfortable using a variety of treatment modalities (CBT, DBT, etc.) as well as mediums (talk therapy, art therapy, movement therapy, pet therapy, etc.) that best suit each client.

We live in a complex world. Many of us can feel overwhelmed by the layers of stressors and demands upon us. While I do not possess the answers, I have strength in asking appropriate, pertinent questions, as well as opening the exploration of aspects of oneself that may be hidden from view. I work hard and ask the client to do the same. Through relationship we build safety and respect. This permits the bravery it takes to enter into the psychotherapeutic process. Ultimately, it is here that change can occur.

Immediate Openings! I am a licensed professional counselor both in Maine and Az. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, growth and bringing thoughts/behaviors into awareness.

I aim to help you tell your story, become self-aware, find your strengths, make viable choices, & face change creatively.

Hello! If you are reading this and looking for help you are right where you need to be :) I like to think of myself as an "UNshrink" .
