I am currently doing telehealth appointments and office appointments. Are you or your child suffering from worry, sadness, or other concerns that you don't know how to deal with? Sometimes you just need a counselor in order to explore where these concerns are coming from and develop new ways to cope, handle or think about situations differently. I counsel adults, adolescents, and children ages 10-12 years old around a variety of concerns.

I offer individual counseling to adults and adolescents ages 16 and over. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral (actively working on changing ones thoughts and behaviors) and therapeutic mindfulness (learning to experience difficulties with awareness and self-compassion rather than judgment and avoidance). I place a strong emphasis on building communication and coping skills that can be used again and again in challenging situations. I have experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, self-harming behaviors, and counseling around life transitions and family concerns.

When a child you care about is struggling, it can feel overwhelming. Young children express their difficult emotions and stress differently than adults. My specialty is communicating with children and collaborating with their caregivers to promote healthy functioning and wellbeing for everyone involved. In my office, you will find a safe, non-judgmental environment. I treat each child as a unique person that is part of a unique whole. I believe there is no "one size fits all" approach. I work closely with caregivers to develop individualized strategies, make changes and accomplish goals that are the right fit for the situation.

I have worked in this field for over 15 years, and I grow to love my role more and more as I support others in their journey toward being the best version of themselves. Many people who are hurting and wish for guidance seek out what they believe are the best techniques in therapy. Throughout my time working in the field, I have come to realize that the therapeutic relationship is just as important - if not more so.

In order to build and strengthen the relationship, I prioritize creating a trusting and fun environment where children feel safe and comfortable expressing all parts of themselves. I value meeting each child where they are at and what they bring to our space with one another.

Most of us develop ways of seeing and engaging the world through 'habits of mind' which may create suffering, lead to anxieties, depression, negative self image, or unsatisfying relationships. Sometimes suffering emerges because of a particular stress in our lives; sometimes it has been a long unwanted companion we can't shake. With guidance and personal effort, we can discover and gradually free ourselves from self-defeating habits of mind. Individuals who may especially benefit from my approach are those who would glimpse beneath the surface of temporary symptoms to the enduring habits of mind which get in our way.

My practice is currently full. Sometimes life events or problems can leave us feeling stressed-out, frustrated or depressed and we can't easily work it out on our own. While emotions and stress are part of a healthy, normal life, they can often be an indicator that professional help is needed. If you’re feeling stuck, or struggling to get traction creating positive change, sometimes all that is needed is a little help to get you on the right track. Therapy is good way to help you understand more about what’s getting in the way and finding ways to release your own barriers, opening you up to make meaningful connections.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of adults in individual and group therapy to address diverse issues across their lifespan. I approach therapy primarily from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) perspective. This approach works to increase a person’s ability to be present in the moment, open up to various life experiences and let go of old ones, and take actions guided by their core values. However, I draw upon and integrate other approaches as needed based on my clients’ specific needs, desires, and identities. I am currently completing my residency year at Psychology Specialists of Maine.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
