I am a counselor, nurse, and a psychotherapist in here in Maine. I do not write medications. I work with a variety of individuals and focus on depression, anxiety, mood disorders, healthcare providers, aging, and chronic health illness. I provide dynamic counseling, psychotherapy, assessment, and support in a safe setting. As a therapist, I am active in the room, providing feedback and challenges as appropriate. I use existential psychodynamic techniques, CBT, Reality Therapy, motivational interviewing, problem-solving and bibliotherapy and apply principles and procedures of counseling to assess and treat client issues.
I work with individuals with mood and anxiety disorders, relationship issues, and also with childrearing, work stress, depression, obsessions, health issues, grief/loss, illness, end of life issues. Individuals with family issues and men and relationship issues. The work is toward emotional flexibility, boundaries, growth, and cognitive health.
I bring my extensive psychiatric nursing skills, evaluating health concerns and medications for referral and treatment. I collaborate when appropriate, with primary care providers and psychiatrists, providing monitoring and feedback of client progress. I provide client-focused counseling, a supportive environment, and challenge to change.
