Teletherapy for Maine

I am passionate about accompanying clients on the journey of exploring and increasing insight into the experiences that have shaped them into who they are as human beings and that at times, contribute to experiences of suffering and struggle. I view therapy as a place to honestly and genuinely explore past and present experiences in the here-and-now, with the goal of growth toward a more fulfilling future. I integrate Animal Assisted Therapy with my animal partner, Luna, into my work with clients interested in working with an an animal in session. I provide in office sessions for Maine based clients/ telehealth for Texas clients.

As a dually licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Alcohol and Drug Counselor, the focus of my work is with adolescents (Ages 14-17) who are experiencing issues centered on complex trauma, addiction, and mental health disorders. I also offer counseling to the emerging adulthood population (Ages 18-29) who may be finding challenges navigating transitional events such as leaving home, finishing education, finding employment, redefining relationships with parents, and identity exploration.

Would you like to feel more calm, confident, hopeful, and energetic? Are you facing roadblocks or transitions in your relationships or family life? Would you like to become more effective at getting your needs met through self-compassion rather than self-criticism?

I believe that relationships determine a lot about how we interact with the world - in both helpful and less helpful ways. Our behaviors, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and relationship styles are reinforced over time by our experiences, families, partners, environments, and culture. Psychotherapy can help when stress, trauma, life transitions, or difficult relationships call for new ways of coping and navigating our lives.

I offer presence and connection to support couples and individuals towards greater authenticity and fulfillment. I understand well the tremendous capacity for the psyche to accommodate unresolved trauma by intricate and patterned coping means. This tempers my approach towards one of gentle courage with clients. Together we learn to find a pacing that creates safety for making contact with what hurts. I am deeply interested in supporting the recognition of your intrinsic capacity to grow towards wholeness. This occurs through dialogue, active processing of emotions, and encountering your truth in the present.

I believe that we all have an innate capacity for healing and growth. Therapy allows us to tune into our strengths and our inner resilience. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed perspective where I strive to facilitate a safe and collaborative environment in which to explore healthier ways of being. I also believe that a relationship based on a foundation of trust is important so you feel comfortable to explore deeply personal issues, develop self-awareness, and embark on the process of personal growth.

I am a creative by heart, and a counselor by trade. It is my pleasure to hold space for people as they seek to get to know themselves better and learn how to best solve their own problems. I am a firm believer that deep down, people know what is right for them, and they know how to solve their own problems. My job as a counselor is to help you remove the layers of cultural conditioning, negative self-talk, trauma memories, and more to help you get reconnected with your self. My goal is to stand beside you as we examine barriers, explore possibilities, and help you find your inner strength to fight any battles that come your way.

I specialize in helping Christians integrate their faith into clinical practice and solutions. I am here to support and empower women who have lost their sense of self. There are many obstacles we encounter in life and sometimes it takes someone sitting with us and exploring what is making the mountain seem immovable. I specialize in helping women set up goals and develop a path to achieve them. I enjoy working with married couples, to help them develop healthy ways to handle conflict, and also those trying to blend a family. I also do premarital counseling for engaged couples. I offer evening sessions as well.

This is a feminine model of recovery and it’s revolutionizing recovery.

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. These challenges can leave us feeling unmoored, uncertain, unhappy and unfulfilled often struggling to find our way. I offer ADHD Coaching to older Teens, Young Adults and Adults as well as parental support regardless of geographical location. My therapeutic practice is limited to MA, NH and ME. The working environment is one of trust and safety to discover a deeper self-knowing.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether you are struggling with feelings of low self-esteem and self-blame or overwhelm and worry, it is painful to be stuck in a never-ending loop of negativity and uncertainty. These beliefs impact all aspect of our lives from our relationships with our loved ones and friends to our careers and education. Often, we get stuck continuing the same patterns because we don’t know what else to do and we can feel at a loss. The good news is, you have already taken the first step in changing the cycle just by being here and for that, I congratulate you!

If white knuckling, self shaming, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and putting on your big girl panties worked, you’d be “cured” a billion times over. It doesn’t. At least not for me or people whose brains are different. Our minds race and it feels impossible to turn off and rest. Sometimes we use substances or other behaviors in a harmful way just to get through the day. There’s more to life out there. A more peaceful and meaningful life is possible. We need to go deeper and get to the root of things. I’ll go with you.
