As a therapist, my priority is to foster a therapeutic environment that feels warm, compassionate, and is uniquely tailored to each person. I care deeply about using a genuine, non-judgmental approach as I support you in navigating complex emotions, challenging relationships and moments of uncertainty. Therapy can be a transformative experience when given the right support. You will experience newfound resilience, self-acceptance, and meaningful insights.

Are you struggling with transitions in your life? Do you have difficulties in your personal and professional relationships? Feeling unheard or under-appreciated? Are your roles in your marriage and family overwhelming you and draining your energy? Healthy communication skills can protect a marriage. Seeking help can be difficult but we all benefit from non-judgmental and safe spaces to explore our thoughts and feelings. Whether you're looking for individual therapy, more effective parenting skills, or help managing a separation and divorce, having a wise & objective therapist can ease the process.

Specialties: Couples/Marriage Counseling, Life Transitions, Anxiety, and depression. Life can be challenging, and sometimes you need support to navigate through difficult times. Stress, worry, and sadness can negatively impact our relationships, self-worth, and hope. I believe that even in the most difficult of times, people have an amazing capacity to grow, connect, and find meaning. Skills and insight acquired in counseling aim to empower you in regaining control of your life. Why wait? It's time for you to live the life you're meant to live and I'm here to help.

Now accepting AETNA insurance! Let’s get to the bottom of what takes your attention away from the people and things that you love. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate to give you the insight and tools needed to reach your goals. With almost a decade of experience working with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life changes – I am confident psychotherapy can prompt us to discover new ways to deal with life’s difficult days.

Life these days can be complicated, confusing and challenging. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to offer an open, non-judgmental and safe therapeutic relationship to help foster personal growth and change. I am fluent in a variety of physical and psychological conditions, including fibromyalgia, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship issues, grief/loss, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and many others.

I'm a counselor and ADHD coach, specializing in the treatment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD) for adults and couples. I also help adults overcome the lingering effects of childhood trauma (a.k.a. developmental trauma). Most of my clients have both. I also have experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder, another commonly co-occurring condition. I do not work with children. You may find counseling with me to be different than what you’ve experienced in the past. I use techniques that go beyond talk therapy, including EMDR, EFT/Tapping, and Ego State / Parts Work. Because sometimes, talking about it isn't enough.

Congratulation on taking a most challenging first step- reaching out and being willing to create change. I believe the primary goal of therapy is increased self-awareness. You may have parts of yourself that you are unconscious of, that you don't understand or that you belief that you can't change. Those perceptions can lead you to living a life that may not be in your best interest- causing painful experiences and ultimately preventing you from sharing your authentic self and who you are meant to be in the world.

Making the choice to start therapy can be a scary step. I believe that every client should be supported by a therapist who brings a sense of realness, support, encouragement, and knowledge to each and every session. You should be able to walk into every session with a feeling of comfort and safety discussing your struggles. My goal is to bring those qualities while helping clients find relief, understanding, and their purpose.

Hello, thank you for taking time to be here. Therapy is an investment in time, personal commitment, and money. My practice has shifted since COVID to seeing less people, for 60 to 90 minutes, and not accepting insurance. Hakomi, Mindfulness, Somatic Psychology, CBT and other modalities are part of the support provided as people move through grief (death, terminal illness, divorce...); healing past trauma, re-surfacing or ready to liberate from, the lies they embed in our narratives; and reclaiming the day to day wakefulness of being. Anxiety, depression, problems at the macro level, benefit from mindfulness and action, and therapy.

We all experience difficult challenges in life. Sometimes, these challenges may seem overwhelming. I understand that therapy can be a big step, and I want you to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. I'll work with you to create a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we'll develop coping skills and strategies to help you manage these challenges.

Do you experience the outdoors as a place of healing and comfort? Can you imagine meeting with your therapist outside for support? To learn skills to improve your life and overall well-being? I love the outdoors and am excited to offer the option of meeting in person outside for therapy in the Portland and Scarborough areas, with telehealth as a backup when the weather does not cooperate. Indoors or outside, throughout the year, you can expect a supportive and comfortable atmosphere in which to heal and grow when you and/or your partner, or your child or teen meet with me for therapy.

Life can be so difficult at times. With so much going on in the world around and often within us it’s all too easy to lose your balance, feel lost and isolated. You may be experiencing increased feelings of anxiety, depression, fear or anger and resentment. Relationship conflicts may intensify or reinforce past traumas. As a professional with over 20 years of practice treating trauma and other mental health conditions, I can provide the guidance and support to help you make the changes you need to move beyond this challenging period of your life, toward something that feels more authentic and true for you.
