Trauma Focused Therapists in Bridgton, ME

I am not taking new psychotherapy patients. I am offering common sense guidance for transformative leaders and cultural secessionists. I am offering support for people who are actively resisting Covid mandates or have been injured by the MRNA treatment. I am helping people who have been victimized by people who are motivated by Critical Social Justice philosophies. ​I plan to treat the growing number of people who will be recovering from Covid Phenomenon Mass Formation. Finally, I work with parents who are struggling to do the right thing in the face of social pressures when their child presents with late onset gender confusion.

Hello wonderful. You are not broken, inadequate or damage. Something has happened to you there is a difference. I specialize working through traumas of race, class, identify, gender, social justice, sexuality, career/ school/work force trauma, societal, intergenerational, & historical. I work with individuals, families, groups, organizations, to help free internal assumptions, biases, contradictions, embedded in the pain body that diminish the capacity and resources needed to create human- to- human connections for problem-solving and sustainable interpersonal relationships across multilayered identities.

I have a laid back approach and enjoy working with individuals who are motivated for change.
