Individuals looking for counseling are often struggling with issues that have developed over time. Often, these issues can be caused by painful relationships, work environments, family problems, traumatic events, health issues, alcohol or drug addiction as well as being an affected family member or friend, loss of loved ones or simply feeling stuck in an unsatisfactory place in life. My focus is to carefully listen and understand the issues that you want to address and then focus on helping you to utilize your strengths, abilities, and skills to find a sense of empowerment in your life.

Clearing past trauma can allow you to live, love and pursue your goals in the now rather than living in reaction to the past. Eliminating triggers for using substances can help you get and stay sober.I have used EMDR to help people with just about any MH issue with great success. In addition, I have a background that I feel allows me to be of special help to veterans, emergency responders, survivors of sexual assault and anyone who struggles with shame or guilt for any reason. EMDR in conjunction with Trauma informed guilt reduction therapy can be very healing. See website: rwesttherapy.com

As a therapist, I believe that everyone has the power to move towards healing and growth. I provide a client centered approach and strongly believe in the therapeutic relationship to help guide the work at your own pace. For my youngest clients, I value play as a form of communication to share thoughts and feelings about the world. I offer space to process all of the thoughts and emotions that come along throughout life and hope that my clients leave therapy with a better understanding of themselves.

It is my aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment in which the client can feel comfortable to share. Within this space of safety is where stories are told, goals are formed for the client to explore and grow. I am privileged to come alongside my clients, as I am given permission to step into the client’s world and to journey with them. As clients move through the varying changes in emotions, cognitions and behaviors and become more in line with living authentically a value driven life is brought forward where I guide clients to engage with courage and take hold of personal lifelong change.

Starting therapy is scary, I strive to make this a comfortable process.

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.

I see therapy as a collaborative process, where the client takes the 'expert seat'. No one knows you better than yourself. My role is to offer my knowledge when and where appropriate to help you gain insight into your concerns and facilitate the growth or change desired. I try to create a relaxed and non-judgmental environment for my clients. My approach is client-centered and strength based. I treat a wide range of concerns, which include depression, anxiety, sexual trauma, adult survivors of child abuse, eating disorders/body image, relationship concerns, family of origin issues, and grief and loss.
