I am currently doing telehealth appointments. Are you or your child suffering from worry, sadness, or other concerns that you don't know how to deal with? Sometimes you just need a counselor in order to explore where these concerns are coming from and develop new ways to cope, handle or think about situations differently. I counsel adults, adolescents, and children ages 5-12 years old around a variety of concerns. I also work with families to encourage them to communicate more effectively and work through conflicts, as well as develop new ways to manage children's behaviors at home.

We have all gone through different struggles in our lives where we need a little help in order to move forward. Whether you are looking to create a plan to get out of a stressful situation or have been struggling with depression or anxiety for some time, I can help. I have been in the field providing counseling to adolescents and adults for over 15 years. I utilize a variety of approaches that have been very effective when traditional talk therapy has fallen short.

My name is Grace and I love my work. My efforts are consistently to help people grow and heal within relationships. I do this by being a gentle, present human, and by supporting people with not only accessing their own inner strengths but with mobilizing the wisdom that lives inside of each couple. Sometimes this is about healing and coming together, and sometimes this is about learning how to kindly separate; occasionally it is about both. I have advanced training in couple's therapy; however, I encourage people to remember that one can do relational work even when a partner doesn't join in therapy. I do see individual and couples.

I have worked in this field for over 15 years, and I grow to love my role more and more as I support others in their journey toward being the best version of themselves. Many people who are hurting and wish for guidance seek out what they believe are the best techniques in therapy. Throughout my time working in the field, I have come to realize that the therapeutic relationship is just as important - if not more so.

I have immediate openings in my support group for Women of Color. This group offers a space for those who identify as Women of Color living in Maine.

This is a closed group and regular attendance is necessary. To learn more about the group, please click the weblink on this page.

Even though you have a natural, built-in ability to heal and regain balance, extra support from therapy can boost resilience in difficult times. Whether change happens through personal choice or unexpected circumstances, I will help you explore, understand and integrate these life-transforming experiences. I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my work as a psychologist, and I will support you to heal and grow in ways that are most meaningful for you.

Whatever brings someone to therapy, it generally includes some form of pain, dissatisfaction, or discomfort, and a disconnect between what is happening their life and what they want. Our work together will help to shed light on why you are struggling, and support you as you make changes, drawing on your strengths to find an approach that is more effective and aligned with how you want your life to be. I believe that effective therapy starts with a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental emotional space where clients can feel heard and understood and my work is grounded in developing a strong therapeutic relationship.

I currently have openings in two groups starting early March for LGBTQ+ adults on Tuesday or Thursday evenings 5-6:30pm. Reach out to schedule an appointment to meet with me about the groups.

I work with adults to help relieve depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, grief, and common challenges associated with life transitions, loss and adjustment My consistent, caring and collaborative approach will help you gain insight and develop a plan and create fulfilling and lasting changes. I specialize in men's issues and co-lead an in-person weekly men's mental health group beginning April, 2023 in Brunswick, ME.

I believe in an individualized approach to counseling/therapy. People often contact me for help with relationships, depression, anxiety, stress management, grief/loss, and other life transitions. To me, each situation is unique. My being a good listener as well as offering a variety of "psychological tools" are both important. For example, tools might include new skills in communication such as better ways to handle conflict or manage difficult emotions like anger, sadness, fear, envy or guilt. Providing a safe, supportive and confidential place to discuss difficult issues is essential. I also believe strongly in building on people's strengths.

I am a psychologist who works with adults in individual and group psychotherapy. My approach is integrative in nature meaning that, depending on the needs of my clients, I seek to relieve distress through providing emotion regulation and other skills while also working towards long-term change by gaining insight into problematic thought patterns and relationship cycles. I specialize in working with clients who are seeking therapy for emotion- and relationship-based problems, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger issues.

If you are experiencing depression, relationship challenges, adjustment concerns, and/or difficulties coping with transition, please reach out for an appointment with me. I work with older adolescent and adult clients and I specialize in helping high-achieving college students and professionals who feel dissatisfied and are struggling with adjustment, identity, imposter syndrome and relationship challenges.

There are as many different kinds of struggles as there are people. That said, counseling can be a place to sort out confusion, find fresh perspectives, and re-energize yourself to tackle the ups and downs of your life and feel good about your actions. It's something we all can benefit from at different points in our lives. I work with teenagers, adults, and elders. My work includes couples counseling, individual counseling, and family counseling, as well as work focused on employment issues and men's issues.

Creativity can be a powerful tool, and modality for expression. With my extensive experience and training in Expressive Therapies, I specialize in Art Therapy and Play Therapy to treat a variety of emotional and behavioral issues with children. In my practice I believe that everyone has the ability to be creative, and I work with clients to utilize their strengths in traditional and non-traditional treatment approaches to work towards goals. Through a trusting therapeutic rapport I work with clients to explore and address issues, so that they may access and obtain healthy growth and change.
