Grief Therapists in Maine

Treatment was focused on Behavioral Management, Post Traumatic Stress, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Depression, Reunification Counseling, as well as Grief Counseling for several years.
I started my clinical counseling practice in 2016 when I provided services for children and adolescent clients with trauma-based treatments before I began work as a school-based therapist providing counseling services for middle school age clients with learning or behavioral difficulties. In this role I supported clients with general anxiety, depression, anger management issues and trauma. I have experience in a Day Treatment school providing counseling services for clients ranging from 6-12. I've worked in community outpatient services providing individual counseling services for a general population ranging from 4 to 70 years old.

Maybe you're facing grief and loss that leaves a hollow ache, or you’re caught in the down-spiral of self-doubt, feeling isolated and alone, unseen, or misunderstood.

I help people access the pain and grief that keep them stuck.
Winter 2025: Waitlist slots available. Perhaps you’re here to get unstuck. You’re dismayed by the way your problems feel repetitive and difficult to break away from. You spin your wheels in frustration, or are stifled under the weight of a nagging depression. Even in some of your closest relationships, you feel disconnection. You might attempt to numb the pain with substances, TV binges, or endless scrolling, and your attempts to change seem to fade away or just not work. The result is that you often feel hopeless.

My expertise includes helping people heal from past hurts and traumas, navigating life transitions, relationships (family, intimacy, parenting), depression, anxiety, stress reduction, conflict resolution, and grief/ loss.
My clients have diverse symptoms, backgrounds, and experiences. Life is hard, and many of life’s difficulties and why people seek treatment are not necessarily mental health disorders. It’s ok to seek help just for having a hard time navigating life, feeling stuck and wanting a reset. You will see that I am kind, open, direct, insightful, and nonjudgmental.

Whether you are going through depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief or other struggles, it's an important to realize that breaking that barrier of asking for help is the start of the therapeutic process!
As a therapist, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which, in a nutshell, involves looking at the way we think and perceive the world around us, examining where that worldview came from and rewriting or changing negative beliefs about that world and ourselves which can lead to our issues. I also use solution/strength approaches and empathetic listening.
