Though insight is interesting and can be very helpful, I believe we have to feel something in our bones to be moved to make big changes in our lives. My great joy is guiding clients to find and embody their own ' aha! ' moments because that's when those big changes happen.

How often do you ignore the signs that happen both physically and mentally letting you know your own needs aren’t being met; the obvious signs such as exhaustion, sadness or anger? But what about the ones that aren’t so obvious? The ones that are so confusing they keep you stuck. What I will teach you is how to recognize your symptoms such as anxiety, depression, negative body image, emotional eating, guilt, anger, shame (the list goes on) as SIGNALS that your needs are not being met, and these signals are actually (unhealthy, stored) coping mechanisms.

I am an Addictions Specialist with over 15 years of professional experience in both NYC and Maine - in addition to personal experience with addiction and long term recovery.. most important factor when pursuing counseling is to find a "therapeutic alliance" that fits. I always recommend that clients consult with a few providers before choosing. Once a trusting alliance is established, I embark on a journey alongside my clients, which can be brief and solution-focused or longer term weekly sessions and ongoing support.

The demands on young adults to succeed academically, professionally and socially create strain on various life transitions - those from college to the professional world, as well as throughout your academic career. These strains can often lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. I understand these transitions and the skills required to navigate the stress involved. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership and through the use of a strengths based and solution focused perspective, I hope to support you in identifying those patterns in your life that may be creating a barrier to smooth transitions.

Reaching out for help can be a challenge, and I’m glad you’re here. It’s important, when finding a therapist, to feel comfortable coming just as you are. If you’re struggling with a recent life transition, a challenging relationship, self-doubt, guilt, anxiety, trauma, or other emotional concerns, reach out. My approach, which is intersectional and trauma-informed, helps you explore emotions without letting them run your life, set healthier habits for your mental well being, and move toward healing so you can live more fully and authentically.
