Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Whitefield, ME

Do you feel like you need to reach out for help? Do you feel that you've exhausted your personal resources regarding your issues and feel there is nowhere you can turn? Have you considered therapy? Therapy is a confidential process where you can feel safe to talk about the challenges of life and what it is that is bothering you or causing you to need help. Breaking that barrier of admitting one needs help is a very important part of the treatment process.

I've been in Private Practice now for over five years and have worked in the counseling field for almost 35 years. I've always had a great working relationship with my clients and believe I work well with people who are interested in taking action to make changes. I view change as a process unique to each person and see my role as a Guide. As a duly Licensed Professional, I believe I'm best suited to work with a variety of mental/health, substance abuse issues and am also comfortable working with couples. I accept MAINECARE and many other types of insurance, and typically have openings.

During the COVID-19 crisis I will be adding the option of tele-counseling services

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 5-18.

Indeed, life has its ups & downs and sometimes we need support when it seems our past/present experiences are limiting ourselves and our life choices. The sense of unbalance can result in many obstacles, struggles & indecisiveness. I work with individuals & would love to meet with you to allow for a space to support & develop a better sense of balance. Therapy & my multiple offerings allows clients the opportunity to discover their limiting thoughts, patterns & beliefs in order to recognize, awaken & cultivate unconditional confidence to allow for a stronger & gentler sense of self & the ability to make calm & relaxed choices.

Consider this your first step toward self-discovery and recovery! One's beginning remains proof of his or her completion. You are one of a kind! Untold generations were strategically placed for your arrival on planet earth and fulfillment of destiny.

What is holding you back from living the life you want? OCD ? Panic? Social Anxiety? How would you act if fear, shame and distress didn't have such power over you? We can learn to change how we relate and interact with our internal world and decrease the power our thoughts and emotions have on us. I am passionate about helping my clients learn to manage internal and external barriers effectively and regain a sense of wellness and value in their life. Motivation is crucial in treatment, but successful therapy starts with a good relationship between the therapist and the client.
