Therapists Beginning With K in Maine

"Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed."- As a therapist, I choose to join you in the journey that has been created for you, by others or due to individual moments in time. As part of the journey to find clarity, peace, balance, or guidance, I can offer support in the form of counseling. In the beginning, we will create a relationship based upon active listening, trust and respect.

If you want to feel more connected to yourself and others, and more at peace with life, you are not alone. If your inner life feels chaotic or you are struggling with substance abuse, changing moods, fear, and hopelessness, you are not alone. Therapy can facilitate the freeing of inner resources, as we shed old ways of responding to the world and to ourselves. Asking for help and moving out of the comfort zone we are used to is difficult, but often occurs when the fear of staying where we are outweighs the fear and discomfort of change. This is a window of opportunity, as the most challenging times are times of growth.

In our hurried lives, we sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from loved ones, or "stuck" and unsure about where we are headed. Some of us may even struggle with a past that continues to define our present. As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment promoting awareness, cultivating strengths, and encouraging lasting change. My clients frequently describe me as warm, genuine, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, insightful and motivating. My style draws upon an experience range including grief/hospice care, family/couple systems, group and individual treatment for clients with severe psychiatric diagnoses, and addiction.

I specialize in providing an authentic, dynamic and collaborative environment where clients can safely explore challenges and create goals. I provide couples, family, and individual therapy working mainly from a humanistic approach, with some elements of the psychodynamic perspective. I am also experienced with the treatment of eating disorders. I focus on identifying personal and relational patterns. Through learning about where these patterns may have originated and how they appear in and affect your life and relationships, we are able to find new solutions, and to discover and practice maintainable tools for long-lasting change.

I am currently on maternity leave and will be accepting clients upon my return in Aug/Sept 2023. Life CAN get better and I would love to help you reset on your path. In my individual sessions I strive to help my clients feel understood and motivated to live their best life. As a well practiced couples therapist, I enjoy supporting people reconnect with one another and overcome changes, comfortably working with traditional, non-traditional, and LGBTQ couples. With families, I help each member master healthy communication, reorganize roles, and learn to have fun with one another again.

Whether brought on by current life transitions, day to day living, or things that happened in the past, therapy is a confidential space for you to organize your thoughts and feelings. Through my work as a therapist, I accompany people on a journey of self-discovery that fosters healing, promotes growth, and enhances overall wellbeing.
