Morning/midday availability. Can best reply to emaiI. I integrate a variety of approaches in my work, with a value on relationship and finding creative ways to make treatment individual. I practiced at Bowdoin College for students struggling with identity exploration, anxiety, depression and relationships.

My passion is helping people to excel and to find their inner potential. I provide services for people of all ages and stages of life. Children and adolescents, adults and the elderly. I use an eclectic approach, because I believe in the uniqueness of each person. My approach to clients with addiction problems is non-judgmental. We work in a cooperative manner to identify roads to success. I am currently accepting MaineCare clients for counseling, community integration, case management for children and their families, and case management for adults with mental health disorder, experiencing homelessness, and substance abuse disorder

Note: Current openings are only Monday afternoons. My purpose is to create a consistent, trauma-informed setting where we connect, share, and grow. My therapeutic concentrations include anxiety & depression, trauma, ADHD, the autism spectrum, educational challenges, aging, substance use, and stress related to government & policy. I am a believer in using creative methods such such as drawing, painting, and music to get our minds moving. I am especially a believer in the power of fresh air and am likely to ask if you would be interested in meeting in the park on a nice day. I love riding my bicycle and do sewing in my free time.

I have developed strong evidence-based therapeutic skills in Acceptance and Commitment and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Treatment and Structural Family Therapy. These modalities help me support individuals and families to learn and grow towards what is meaningful and valuable in their lives.

As a therapist I am genuine, compassionate, sensitive and honest. I believe that people need a safe space to be validated for their life experience wherever they are at. My passion and profession is helping people rebuild healthier foundations and having the gift of being a part of individuals healing their own life story and recreating their lives into something new. I believe it is an honor to work with my clients... The Answer for life's changes is inside you and being willing to take the journey...and its the greatest gift you can give yourself...

"The individual is like a garden to be tended, not a machine to be repaired". I practice Motivational Interviewing; this is a collaborative conversation to strengthen a person's own motivation for change. I hold a few principles that govern the work. First, I will focus on you being heard and believed, Second, be kind. Third, teach and demonstrate empathy and compassion and be helpful with your internal conflict... I practice being in the here and now with individual, couple and group work.

Hello and welcome! Please note that I have a wait list at this time. My experience is with all ages and, in therapy, you can expect a nonjudgmental environment tailored to your personality, situation, & needs. I take a collaborative approach and invite you to sit in the driver’s seat of your counseling experience; you are the expert in your life and it is likely that I have resources, strategies, and insight to offer from the passenger seat that will help you find the healing and wellness that you deserve. We will use therapeutic modalities that are accessible and supportive for you.

As a fully licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, I believe that everyone has a desire to be successful in their life, but sometimes lack the skills or supports to achieve that goal. My non-judgemental approach will help you feel more comfortable facing the difficulties that are causing you to feel incomplete. Counseling can be an active, dynamic process, that can be exciting, challenging, and even enjoyable! I have a keen interest in Men's issues, but work with clients of all genders.

I recognize there are times we can get focused on regrets of the past. Or we're consumed with the chaos of anticipating the future. We can be overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, or experiences of loss and grief...sometimes leading to isolation, being "stuck", or unhealthy relationships with substances, behaviors, or people. What drives me as a therapist is when I see a client taking action that makes their mind an ally, rather than a detractor, in their life.

I strongly believe in joining my clients based on where they are in life’s journey, acknowledging the intricate narratives that shape each individual. Through close collaboration, I navigate alongside my clients to unearth pragmatic resolutions while affirming the distinctiveness of their personal narratives. I recognize that every challenge is an opportunity for personal evolution. I sincerely believe that at any given moment, individuals are doing the best they can and aspiring for continual improvement.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with thirteen years of clinical experience. Passionate about providing individualized and intentional care, I believe that therapeutic work requires a strong connection, where clients feel heard and empowered. Taking a psychotherapeutic approach, I help clients to develop awareness of how we come to understand ourselves and the way we interact with the world. Through this journey, we develop compassion for the patterns we created to adapt to our environment, while exploring what may keep us from experiencing life with more connection and acceptance, and less shame and judgment.
