I value transparency and direct communication so that everyone can make informed decisions. Sometimes we hesitate to reach out for help because we compare our experience to that of other people. It's important to recognize that our experiences are unique, as are the challenges we face. Everyone deserves to be heard and to have the opportunity for good quality of life.

Is there an area in your life you'd like to improve? Would you benefit from having someone in your corner while you navigate life? I would love to explore whether I might be a good fit to help you reach your goals. In my experience, the foundation for meaningful human change can often be found within an authentic, trustful, empathic therapeutic relationship. I am here to be your ally in identifying and exploring desired directions for your life moving forward. I would describe my style as client centered – less directive and more focused on following the direction of the client. However, I can be more directive when necessary.

Reaching out for support during challenging times can be daunting and my hope is that I can meet you where you are and walk alongside you to create lasting and meaningful change in your life. As a relational therapist, I believe that our relationships with those in our lives directly impact our worldview and experiences. I find that the client-therapist relationship is fundamental to a positive and successful therapy experience and can mimic clients’ relationships outside of the therapy setting. I utilize a strengths-based approach as a foundation from which clients can grow and also appreciate bringing humor into the therapy space.

Clients have described me as 'very professional but also friendly, laid back and not intimidating.' I work very collaboratively with clients to set goals and find strategies which will be most helpful to them. Some clients prefer to focus more on addressing painful symptoms and circumstances (depression, anxiety, relationships or work difficulties) while others may want to focus more on personal growth. I am more than happy to help clients with either area or both simultaneously, as they often go hand in hand and serve to increase happiness and satisfaction in daily life.

In working with children, adults and families for 27 years, I am often amazed at the strength of the human spirit and a person's capacity towards growth. I consider myself privileged to be able to work with people striving to live a more meaningful life.. I have found that treating the entire person is most effective, in addition to talk therapy I utilize EMDR, Trauma Sensitive Yoga and expressive therapies. In my work with children I utilize Play Therapy, play is the natural language of children and it is how they heal and learn new skills.

I teach EVERYONE- from kids to adults, how to manage difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I teach parents how to help their children regulate their feelings, which in turn helps manage behaviors. My work focuses on the mind and the heart; I focus on reducing unnecessary suffering by learning how to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, so you can overcome life obstacles while respecting your soul's journey. My goal is to pass my skills and knowledge onto parents, adults and children, so you don't need me anymore. I work late afternoons and evenings.

Are you seeking a space to see change or growth in yourself, your relationships, your parenting? A place for your child/adolescent to work through the emotional waves of transitions, relationships, traumatic experiences, worries and to build confidence and success? A space to come together as parents to support your child(ren) in navigating the complicated world? Join me and together we will build a path forward using evidenced-based therapy models (CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused-CBT) in combination with empathy and creativity. Unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns are changeable, and I am here to help you realize this truth.

How can I find a therapist in South Portland?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
