Therapists Beginning With B in Maine
Maybe you’ve spent years feeling too sensitive, too intense, too scattered, or simply “too much” for the world around you. You may be autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, OCD, highly sensitive, queer, chronically ill—or still trying to understand why life seems to ask more of your nervous system than it does of everyone else.
Capitalism, ableism, and patriarchy may call your nervous system “disordered.” I don’t. I see adaptations, patterns, and ways of surviving that deserve curiosity rather than shame.

Anxious, Stressed? Distracted? Depressed? There’s so much in life you can’t control, but you don’t have to feel powerless in how you respond. In my practice, I aim to create a warm, supportive space for adults. I have treated college students, therapists, doctors, nurses, and small business owners, among others. I offer clients tools to address ADHD, stress, anxiety, trauma, and grief, plus friendship, marriage, and other relationship issues. I use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) as well as more short-term goal-oriented techniques, including Cogntitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

Life can feel overwhelming when ADHD, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, or a major transition leaves you feeling distracted, stuck, or disconnected from yourself. I provide individual therapy to adults, with a particular focus on ADHD and the many ways it can affect daily life including executive functioning, procrastination, perfectionism, time blindness, task paralysis, emotional regulation, relationships, guilt, shame, and anxiety. Together, we’ll better understand what is getting in the way, develop practical strategies, and build upon your strengths.

There’s no denying it, sometimes life can be really hard. And in addition to the many disturbing things happening in the world around us, we all tend to get in our own way as well. We all sometimes think, feel, or do things that aren’t consistent with the person we want to be. This is completely normal, but it doesn’t have to be that way, and I’d like to help you make it better.

People often describe me as down to earth and easy to talk to which helps clients open up and work through issues more deeply. Using evidence-based approaches, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness and humanistic psychology to help clients move forward in meaningful ways.
