Marriage Counseling Therapists in Cumberland Foreside, ME

I have a dog named Jake. When I lay with him and hold his paw it’s one of the best feelings in the world. He makes me melt. My breathing slows down and I am in my happy place. In psychology we would call this coregulating. Have you ever experienced this with an animal or a loved one? We were made to be in relationship with one another. To love and be loved. To coregulate. Sometimes we get off course and need to learn how to connect again. That’s where I come in. I work with individuals and couples looking to show up differently in their relationships.

My belief that each of us has the potential to heal and transform, guides and informs my work as a therapist. I help people overcome anxiety, deal with depression, and emerge from trauma. I approach each person individually with warmth and compassion, and I strive to help harness a person's own natural strengths to work through problems of substance use, major life transitions, or concerns centering on gender and sexual identity. My therapeutic approach stems from extensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - including Cognitive Processing Therapy for Trauma.

After 35 years practicing as a clinical psychologist I have come to understand that effective treatment must be determined specifically for each client and applied in a respectful and cooperative manner. Treatment choices are made based on the uniqueness of the individual, his or her goals, and current life circumstances. They may include behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, in-depth therapy, or couples and family therapy. One treatment modality is not appropriate for all.
