For more than 20 years in Maine and Florida I’ve helped teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief and trauma in healthy healing and productive ways. I bring an understanding of trauma, grief, depression and anxiety and how they can play out in negative ways in everyday life. I bring 25+ years of working with the LGBTQIA+ community helping folks celebrate who they are while at the same time acknowledging the stress and unique family factors this amazing community deals with on a daily basis. Having run a grief group for over 10 years, I have a deep understanding of loss and the individuality of each person's journey.
I believe in holistic care, focusing on body, mind, and soul balance. I honor each person as an individual and have never subscribed to a one style fits all approach. I utilize a solution focused, evidence based CBT and EMDR to help folks with trauma and grief, while identifying what will work best for their own unique circumstance.
I welcome anyone who truly wants to live their best life and find balance to reach out to me so we can work together to create a healthy full life that works for you. Grief and trauma can turn worlds upside down and sometimes we need someone to walk the path with us.

I primarily use EMDR for trauma therapy and grief work. In addition, I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Strength Based modalities. Once we meet for our fist session, we decide together what would be the best fit going forward based on past and present needs, as well as what feels comfortable.
