Harvard Pilgrim Therapists in Gardiner, ME
I’m an eccentric, depth‑oriented therapist who blends radical honesty with a warm, grounded presence. I work with the unconscious, the body, and the patterns you’ve carried for years—often without realizing it. My approach is deeply trauma‑informed and somatically attuned, helping you understand how your story lives in both mind and body. If you’ve ever felt “too much” or misunderstood, this is a space where your complexity is welcomed and your truth can finally breathe.

Life experience (and the thoughts and beliefs we hold) can control how we feel and directly impact struggles such as grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma. I combine psychotherapy with holistic counseling to help you see a bigger picture for your life, and to help you change emotional, physical, and psychological upsets that interrupt the life you prefer to live.

I believe in the uniqueness of each human being and that all people have inherent strengths. I know when a person seeks counseling it is because he/she is feeling overwhelmed or stuck. In the safety of a professional helping relationship you will address those areas as well as recognize and utilize your own strengths so you can move forward to resolve your problems. I work with people on a variety of difficult life issues and I meet each person where they are at. In addition to helping individual adults, I work with parents, families and children ages 7-18.

I think that my ideal client would be someone who wants to improve their lives and recognize that change is necessary to improve their lives. You have numerous reasons for seeking counseling. You may want to have someone to talk to that won't judge you and will listen to what you need to say. You may have tried to talk with your family or friends, and they may become impatient when you need to express your needs multiple times. This may be because you feel they aren't listening or hearing what you are trying to communicate. I am objective and I recognize that the goals of treatment are the goals that you feel you need to address.

There are moments when the way we have been coping, relating, pleasing, protecting, or pushing through no longer feels sustainable. You may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, identity questions, relationship stress, loneliness, or a major life transition. Over time, you may have come to realize that something needs to change, even if you are not yet sure what that change looks like.
In therapy, we slow things down enough to understand what is actually happening. We explore the patterns that keep repeating, the emotions that are difficult to name, and the parts of you that may be working hard to stay safe.
