I’m a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health. I trained at Goddard College, earned my doctorate in public health from Tulane University, and am licensed to practice in both Maine and Vermont. I work with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My approach is grounded in an existential perspective, which means I help clients explore questions of meaning, identity, connection, and how their environments shape their wellbeing. My goal is to offer a thoughtful, supportive space where clients can reflect, heal, and make meaningful change.
My style is collaborative, which means we work together to understand both what you’re going through and the deeper patterns behind it. I draw from a range of approaches, including EMDR, CBT, ACT, and ISTDP. I tailor therapy to your needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, with the goal of finding an approach that feels supportive and engaging.
Reaching out is often the hardest part, and I want you to know that taking this step says something good about you. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or just feeling stuck, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'd be glad to hear what's bringing you here and talk through whether we might be a good fit to work together.
