Female Therapists in Auburn, ME

Deciding to begin counseling to work towards your personal healing journey is a big step which can be both scary and exciting. As a counselor, I see it as a honor to be chosen by my clients to be a part in their journey. I recognize counseling as a courageous process to partake in. I see my role as hearing where you are at and slowly guiding you to your next level of growth at your speed. Please Note: I am only able to accept Medicare plans under Anthem.

In my work with clients, my main focus is providing a safe environment that allows for growth, balance, understanding, and solutions. I believe that therapy is a way to have a more meaningful and satisfying life. I enjoy working with folks who have or suspect they may have ADHD. I also have a great deal of experience in working with folks who are going through difficult times of transition and change. Anxiety, depression, people pleasing? Let's get into it.

Have you experienced difficulty in your past that you feel impacts you presently? Would you benefit from having someone in your corner while you navigate this stage of your life? I would love to explore whether I might be a good fit to help you move forward towards positive change. The therapeutic space I provide for my clients is non-judgmental, confidential, and built upon empathic understanding. We collaborate as a team to understand your struggles, process potential roots, and apply appropriate coping strategies suited for you individually.

For many of us, 2020 was a catalyst year starting with the pandemic, political conflict, grief and loss issues across the nation. It was a collective impact. For so many individuals, including myself, lives were uprooted, and the adjustment period was difficult and disconcerting as nothing seemed familiar anymore. Many have been dealing with relationships and marriages ending, loss of jobs, loss of homes, losing loved ones who have passed on, physical health deteriorating and so much more. Old traumas seemed to have resurfaced, depression/anxiety increasing, loneliness, and finding balance or a sense of self seems to evade us.

Welcome to my practice! If you're reading this, maybe you've been having a rough time. Maybe you've been feeling anxious or depressed, beyond where that seems ok. Perhaps you're feeling stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting that don't feel good or no longer "work." I believe that all of us can feel better and have more satisfying lives, no matter how difficult our circumstances may be. I have been privileged to witness extraordinary healing and growth in many of my clients.

Are you stuck and searching for a path forward? Struggling with stressful life events, grief or anxiety? Are you wanting a voice and validation; and most importantly, the tools for more success, more joy? I can help you become empowered, to a life full of possibility. I've been a counselor in Maine for more than twenty years, providing compassionate solutions in an accepting environment. Together, we will find the help you need; healing, growth, and lasting change. I work with adult individuals.

Are you going through a transition in your life that has you feeling overwhelmed and not knowing which way to turn? Are you someone who has big goals and even bigger dreams but find yourself feeling stuck? Or maybe you found your way here because you're struggling in your relationship and are looking for someone who can help you sort out your feelings and figure out how to move forward. If you can relate to any of these, you're not alone! So many of us are currently going through the scary and painful process of shedding the pieces of ourselves that no longer fit in order to fully embrace who we truly are. Change is hard, I can help

Emphasis on adults, primarily women and the issues relative to the aging process, relationships health, fitness, nutrition and overall well being. Coping with moods, hormone changes and societal issues, as well as cycles of marital challenges and on going pressures of adults in today's society.

Have you ever had a different sense of where you’re meant to be? Are you ready to make changes in your life but are unsure of how or where to start? If you're experiencing relationship issues, unresolved issues from your past that are holding you back, have feelings of being overwhelmed, or are having difficulty coping with life’s difficulties, I want to help you. I am an experienced therapist working with adult clients on issues including relationship dynamics, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and stress management.

This space is yours for reflection, processing, and making movement at your own pace. My role is to provide tools or strategies that partner with you as you make changes in your life to meet your own goals. Some reasons people seek counseling may include reducing symptoms of a mental health diagnosis, strengthening family relationships, finding balance between the many life responsibilities, improving social relationships/communication/boundary setting, exploring their identity, navigating impact of family addiction/mental health of a loved one, having a space to talk about the challenges of parenting, and many more.

You are smart - an accomplished professional others rely upon. You struggle with self-doubt, worry, high expectations and a troublesome inner critic. Who do YOU turn to when you realize you're overwhelmed? You've been coping with life-altering challenges and realize you're stretched too thin and feel tired and ineffective. You've tried traditional therapy and sense it's not quite the right fit. You're curious about working with a coach who's walked her own path of transformation, and knows how to sit with the Unknown calmly, until it opens into something clarifying and bold. Call today - take advantage of a free meet & greet.

Consider what it would be like to live without self-doubt and less worry. Consider enjoying a moment for the experience instead of re-visiting experiences over and over in your mind by allowing your thoughts to spin stories that often begin with "what if . . ." or "I should have . . ." The role of a therapist is not to be in the middle of troubles and is not about giving advice or telling someone what to do. However, many people feel that once they have a trusted "neutral" person to speak their stories to then they have begun the process of healing.

I am a psychiatric nurse, counselor, and a psychotherapist. I provide counseling services to a wide variety of clients. I do not write prescriptions for medication. I work with a broad variety of individuals and additionally have a focus on medical/healthcare providers. I provide dynamic counseling, psychotherapy, 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 and bibliotherapy and apply the principles and procedures of counseling to assess and treat client issues.

Unfortunately I do not have openings at this time. This will be updated when that changes. EMDR is a trauma treatment that helps desensitize disturbing memories. I typically work with women who may have tried talk therapy or other treatments and want to try something different.

I believe that everyone has the power to reach their full potential. I have a great passion for this work and strive to empower my clients toward meaningful personal growth while celebrating their successes, no matter how small. I am open to working with adolescents and adults, as well as couples and families. It is my goal to support each client in bettering their situation, whatever it may be, by working along side them to remind them of their resilience or tapping into strengths and discovering new coping skills to facilitate growth and allow them to feel more grounded and capable.
