I strongly believe a relationship in which one feels heard, not judged and allows open and honest communication is of utmost importance. My calming nature and down to earth personality make clients feel welcome and accepted. I support my clients in finding their own strengths and possibilities. Together we will problem solve, search for more effective coping strategies, gain alternative views and create plans for wellness. While I work with all ages, most often you'll find me working with children and teens and collaborating with their caregiver(s), as they are my best resource.

Your sleep has become irregular. You are eating too many cookies or you don't feel like eating. It is hard to get up in the morning. The energy you once had has become a memory. Your friends seem to be doing much better than you are, so you can't confide in them about how you feel. You worry about your spouse, about your children, about the economy, or about your job. You worry about the next wave of shut-downs because of COVID. You wonder if you are drinking too many lattes or glasses of wine. It is hard to concentrate, to get just one thing done.And you don't know why you have these thoughts, these worries, these sleepless nights.

I am licensed to provide telepsychology in Maine and 22 additional states across the US. There are a lot of therapists out there, so I will make an attempt to summarize my beliefs about therapy in three succinct points. First, therapy is not always easy. Second, it is a therapist's job to challenge you. And third, therapeutic rapport is paramount to establishing effective therapy. If this is what you are looking for, I welcome you to schedule an initial appointment.

I've been practicing psychotherapy for the past 36 years and have had a private practice in Maine since 1982. I feel that my success over the years stems in large part from my ability to connect with my clients and provide a safe place to do the work of therapy. I work with clients with a wide range of problems and also have a specialty in working with eating disorders.

I am a seasoned clinician who has worked with adults, couples and families for over 30 years. Increased awareness leads to increased options. Often the work of therapy is about making or repairing connections--interpersonal, internal or perhaps even spiritual. I provide individual adult psychodynamic psychotherapy; couples counseling: marital, pre and post divorce. I use a multi modal approach often including assessment and treatment from a family systems perspective and a psychodynamic perspective. I reserve a portion of my practice to provide a safe and intriguing space for children to express themselves and to be understood by adults. Facilitated parent-child sessions often help.

I enjoy working with individuals to enhance their feelings of self-confidence and self-empowerment to achieve their life goals.

Life demands a lot from us. The world can feel overwhelming, relationships can be triggering, and families can be trying. The parts of us that require healing are often sites of shame or trauma—either that we've experienced ourselves or inherited from our ancestors. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment of authenticity, attunement, and compassion, where you can feel at ease unfolding and exploring this often daunting terrain. I am deeply invested in working to understand you and the stories which have led you to the present moment.

I believe that when all parts of us are heard, we begin to self-validate, allowing us to have a greater understanding of ourselves and stand in our power. With my education and background in social work it is important to me to create a non-judgmental, nurturing space in order to empower each individual and begin the necessary work of coming home to themselves. During session, I invite clients to safely peel back the layers and dive deep within. I works alongside clients to provide them with the security to allow their internal and external worlds to align, providing the freedom to embrace vulnerability.

I help people who have anxiety, overwhelm or stressful relationships find clarity and serenity. In 2014, after years of talk therapy and recovery work, I became frustrated by the lack of progress in a few key areas. I decided to go deeper and I combined "parts work" with a mediation facilitation process. The healing I experienced was astounding. I researched other practitioners who were working at these deep levels, began studying evidence based techniques with Sarah Peyton, and I implemented these life changing models into my work. A past client posted: "Sara’s way of providing help creates peace in the battle zone of my brain."

I approach therapy from a strong person centered perspective. I believe that all persons have the ability to change. I utilize an active listening, non-judgmental approach that allows clients to utilize their own native ability to solve their own problems. I believe that every person has a strong drive to expand and grow and to achieve their fullest potential. This potential can be frustrated by many of the challenges presented by life but it can never be eliminated. As I see therapy, it is a vehicle for a person to realize and release that innate potential.

Counseling has varied meaning and is a personal and individual process between a therapist and client. I don't list treatment orientation or theories here as my philosophy has always been, "All people need to be listened to and supported. No two people present with the same issues and deserve unconditional positive regard." Our society, at times, loses sight to the importance of encouragement and kindness. I will work hard to bring about feelings of confidence and life meaning for all that I work with. I believe in the personal worth of all individuals and that we all have the capacity to overcome harship, pain and despair.
