Life can have a way of tossing us around and undermining our sense of self and belonging. The focus of my practice is people who have ADD/ADHD or symptoms related to ADD/ADHD such as weak Executive Function which can lead to Anxiety and related Depression.

I currently offer individual therapy to clients in both Maine and Wisconsin. Many clients I work with carry day to day stress and anxiety that is rooted in trauma. We tend to think of trauma as one big moment, but it can also be a culmination of moments leading to a negative narrative of the self and a shift in the way we see and interact in the world. My goal is to teach new skills that will help promote control over ones thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can improve health and happiness across multiple settings- emotionally, psychosomatically, in families or relationships and other areas of life.

She/ Her- Mainecare or Private pay only Availability: Currently, there is a waitlist but feel free to reach out and let me know if you're interested in teletherapy or in-person sessions! People often tell us to manage our lives as if we have learned every strategy and read every book. Nobody knows everything, and you cannot expect yourself to navigate life as if you do. Counseling has the ability to help you gain or refine skill sets to maneuver daily life, mental health, and significant life events.

We all experience difficult challenges in life. Sometimes, these challenges may seem overwhelming. I understand that therapy can be a big step, and I want you to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. I'll work with you to create a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we'll develop coping skills and strategies to help you manage these challenges.

The human experience is full of ups and downs, and sometimes people need extra support to navigate life's challenges and transitions. I am passionate about helping individuals through these times, and want to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to work together. I am trained to work with individuals of all ages, and utilize various modalities as needed.
