Therapists in Sanford, ME

Most people who visit a therapist know that there is something they want to change, but they may not know how. Sometimes feelings of anxiety or depression, problems with relationships, challenges at work, or other social difficulties are difficult to understand and resolve without help. In therapy, my goal is to help you foster greater self-understanding and develop strategies to live a more fulfilling life.

With over 18 years of experience, I specialize in the treatment of trauma. I have a great deal of experience with this population and appreciate your looking at my profile. I do want you to know I'm not able to take new clients at this time. I work with adults 18+ and have experience with a variety of topics and mental health challenges. I believe the most important part of therapy is having a sense of safety and connection with your therapist. I enjoy creating an open environment where my clients can feel comfortable sharing with another person. This is a non-judgmental space for you to talk.

Life can present many unexpected challenges, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. These challenges impact our emotional wellbeing and our relationships. As your therapist, I will offer you the opportunity to reflect upon your life in a safe, respectful, and confidential environment. My area of expertise is Whole Mind-Body Psychotherapy which focuses on the interplay between physical health (body) and mental health (mind). We will identify how your life experiences are stored in your brain-body and influence your emotions, thinking, and behaviors. You will develop new pathways to promote a sense of well-being and inner strength.

Congratulation on taking a most challenging first step- reaching out and being willing to create change. I believe the primary goal of therapy is increased self-awareness. You may have parts of yourself that you are unconscious of, that you don't understand or that you belief that you can't change. Those perceptions can lead you to living a life that may not be in your best interest- causing painful experiences and ultimately preventing you from sharing your authentic self and who you are meant to be in the world.

Do you want to regain confidence, energy, optimism, and passion? Do you prefer to focus on what's strong, not what’s wrong? A grounded, heart-based approach honors intuition, dignity, and values. Regardless of your initial goal, experience a richer, better life with strength, creativity, zest, and tools for your future. Relationships strengthen as you improve interpersonal communication. Solution-focused, resilient transformation and stress reduction techniques unblock and release what holds you back. Together we activate hope and foster rapid resolution, understanding, and growth.

People often come into therapy during times of change in their lives.

I specialize in the treatment of Eating Disorders and have worked with both families and individuals. I enjoy working with people struggling with body image distress and binge eating. I also work with anxiety, depression and general life stressors

C'mon guys, let's be real, can we? I usually joke with the men that come to see me that they are either court-ordered or wife-ordered for therapy. I recognize that humor can be a powerful icebreaker easing into the process of addressing issues. Whether it be improved communication skills, increased self-awareness, developing empathy for self and others, mood management, or just plain having an empathic ear to validate your struggles. I can offer you assistance in achieving those goals and more if you would like.

I work with adults (18+) to help relieve depression, anxiety, stress, challenges within relationships, grief, as well as challenges associated with life transitions, loss and adjustment.

I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. If you are seeking therapy, then you are already on your way to creating a more fulfilling life and I am excited to help you. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, beliefs, and relationship patterns that are causing pain. This approach is helpful for many issues including anxiety, depression, adjustment, and trauma. I specialize in working with teenagers and adults. Some people only need brief, solution-focused therapy and some are seeking long-term support. Together, we will decide what is right for you.

Please note that I am currently at capacity and unable to accept new patients at this time. There is wisdom in the ways we adapt to our environments, but they do not always serve us in the present moment. My aim is to help people identify their adaptive patterns and view them with compassion, while also learning what to hold and what to let go. As a neurobiological informed therapist, I aim to help people move from judgement, shame and isolation to curiosity, acceptance and connection.

We all experience difficult challenges in life. Sometimes, these challenges may seem overwhelming. I understand that therapy can be a big step, and I want you to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. I'll work with you to create a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we'll develop coping skills and strategies to help you manage these challenges.
