Immediate availability! Do you find yourself stuck, or struggling somehow? I believe that people are doing the best they can, with the experiences and knowledge that they have. Sometimes, however, life throws so much at you that it overwhelms your ability to cope, and you might find yourself on a website like this one, saying, "maybe I need a therapist?" Whether you know exactly what's wrong (like a challenging relationship or a toxic job, or a traumatic experience), or you just have a sense that this life somehow isn't what you had in mind (worried, sad, or unfulfilled), then therapy can help.

I work with individuals in ME, MA, & NH who are committed to their recovery and looking for more structure than traditional outpatient therapy provides. Many have completed higher levels of care and want to maintain the progress they’ve made. They often feel that weekly therapy alone isn’t enough and are seeking consistency, accountability, and a way to actively apply recovery in daily life. My work supports continued momentum with a clear and structured approach.

I work with clients to understand their own thinking processes and belief systems, to develop new coping strategies and learn new skills to interact with family and others interpersonally, and to make lifestyle adjustments to bolster internal psychological and coping resources. Making targeted changes in these areas leads to improvements in overall mood and well-being for families and individuals. I work with children and adolescents using tools that are engaging and interactive and take their developmental needs and abilities into account.

Mental health affects all of us—even those who appear strong or happy. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, things can feel overwhelming or seem to get worse. Crises can happen to anyone, and you are not defined by what has happened to you. Each of us has a true, authentic self that can become disconnected through life experiences. Healing is a way to reconnect with that part of yourself. I’m here to support you and your family and loved ones with care, respect, and compassion on your journey of healing and finding authentic self.

Are you seeking change? Do you want to let go of what no longer serves you? Are you eager to feel better about yourself and your life? For over 30 years as a therapist, educator, and clinical supervisor, I have enjoyed empowering both individuals and couples to become their own therapist, developing profound insight and applying useful tools. I help my clients find their own inner guidance. They can then move from depression to joy, anxiety to calm, conflict to peace, and hopelessness to gratitude. They come to know themselves better, feel more confident, appreciate their unique inner gifts, and navigate their lives more smoothly.

Many of my clients come in carrying the weight of PTSD, complex trauma, chronic stress, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. I work with individuals (16+), couples, and a range of communities including survivors, first responders, veterans, the spouses and partners who support them, and with individuals across LGBTQIA+ identities. You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or minimize your experiences and together, we work toward making sense of those experiences while building practical tools for healing and growth.

Current openings as of 6/4/26. I feel passionate about women’s health and how critical it is for not only ourselves, but the way in which we show up in every part of our lives. Women’s health is often not openly spoken about, especially when it comes to the “mental load” women often carry. I work with teenagers and young adults of all genders and identities. Adolescence is a stage filled with transitions and adjustments as teens navigate both identity and increased independence. I aim to provide a supportive space that meets each individual with curiosity rather than judgement.
