I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in painful emotional and relational patterns. My role is to help clients better understand these patterns so they can make meaningful and lasting changes.

08-04-2026: My caseload is currently at capacity. I am anticipating being able to accept new Maine clients in late September. I am currently unable to accept any new Idaho telehealth clients. / Life has a way of presenting us with many challenges, both big and small. Much of the time, we are able to overcome these challenges and move forward on our own. But there are times when we encounter a challenge that tests us or shakes our resiliency, leaving us doubting our ability to move forward. A sense of balance and well-being can seem to be a faraway or even forgotten possibility and yet that is what is most sought after.

Just like the gardener I am in my spare time, I wish to nurture your individual growth and support you to adapt and thrive in the garden of your life.

Welcome! I work with adults who are experiencing overwhelm, self-criticism, and high-functioning anxiety as they navigate their daily lives.

Trauma can be defined as our emotional and psychological response to a distressing event. It can be difficult to resolve traumatic memories when the event and emotional response validate a negative core belief we hold about ourselves. I am an EMDR trained therapist and I believe strongly in the efficacy of EMDR in resolving trauma and negative core beliefs. I also use existential philosophy to inform my practice, meaning I focus on self-awareness, relationships, personal power, free will, and self-determined choices.

I have over 25 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker in gently supporting people as they explore difficulties in their lives, identify changes they want to make, and learn skills and practices that can help. I assist through deep empathic listening, noticing patterns, and challenging habitual thoughts and ways of coping that are no longer useful. If it's comfortable, I also encourage clients to check in with the felt experience they are having in their bodies during therapy. This can keep the work grounded and let us know whether it's making a difference.

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
