It is a big step in reaching out for support! I'm so glad you did! Some of us struggle to live day to day and have stopped dreaming. Why is dreaming left to childhood? If you are searching for more peace or to heal an invisible scar, you do not need to suffer or problem solve alone. I am a licensed clinical social worker whose passion for the past 30 years has been creating a safe space for the human experience that we all share. It has been my understanding that you may already have what you need and I have the privilege to be alongside you on that journey. Risks are scary but this may be a good one to take.
My practice centers on a partnership that helps you reach your goals, not mine. This work includes healing from past traumas, support during developmental milestones, relationships, transitions and issues connected to stages of life. I hope to serve as a supportive guide on that journey and create an individualized counseling process.
While I use evidenced based models, you will find my style, creative, honest, humorous, committed and gentle. I attempt to be as client focused as you deserve. I am presently seeing people in person or through Telehealth. Life has so many demands, I will try to be as available mornings, evenings and weekends. I am licensed in ME and MA.

The dialogue in our head and the experiences we have shape our identity and day to day choices. I love Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to bring to light the weight of our internal world. Lots of people worry about where to begin in therapy. You get to start wherever it makes sense. You are the expert of your situation.
