Stress Therapists in Scarborough, ME

Meaningful and lasting change. Isn’t that what we’re all looking for? I am here to help those struggling with general anxiety, social phobia, mild to severe depression, or stress related disorders. If you are tired of dreading getting out of bed each morning, or wondering why you "feel this way" - I am here to help create change and turn off the "struggle switch." I work from a third wave behavioral approach (ACT) that will empower you with coping skills to overcome these obstacles. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but it can start today.

My clients are welcomed into a safe and positive environment designed to foster personal change. This process is a journey of partnership. I believe that my part in counseling is that of a guide and support for individuals seeking new ways to meet their life challenges. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help with achieving personal goals. Breathing techniques are basic to reducing anxiety and stress. Along with individual and couples counseling, I offer group counseling as an effective tool in the process of change. Stress reduction, improved communication skills and enhanced self awareness are the goal.

February 16, 2024 - I currently have coaching and private pay openings. Most people I work with start sessions sharing some version of what's wrong with them: "I can't seem to get out of my own way." "I'm good at starting things but cant finish them." This includes a constant internal dialogue that includes, "I hate myself." "I don't understand why people don't like me." "I don't like people." "I just don't fit." "I can't do this any more." "I worry about myself." "I'm afraid." "People tell me I'm smart (or attractive, or funny, etc.) but I don't believe them."

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or feeling overwhelmed? Are you noticing your life has become difficult to cope with? When life becomes too busy we can begin to feel depleted and stress begins to build, leading to symptoms that can be disruptive to our lives. If you are experiencing poor sleep, general increase in frustration, low mood and maybe even a decline in health, it may be in response to a persistent level of daily stress. I work with people in a safe, non-judgmental capacity. I provide support from a holistic perspective considering the entirety of your experience to assist you in restoring a sense of wellbeing.

I provide individual therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of life challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, work and school stress, and other life transitions. I have a particular interest in new mother’s mental health and supporting individuals as they adjust to parenting.

Seeking counseling is a sign of hope. My intent is to create a compassionate, grounded, and non-judgmental collaboration with you to facilitate change and help you move forward in a meaningful way. Let's tap into your strengths to get the most out of our sessions, making space for new insights and skills, and improving communication. My expertise includes helping people heal from past hurts and traumas, navigating life transitions, relationship issues (family, intimacy, parenting), depression, anxiety, stress reduction, conflict resolution, and grief/loss. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are committed to growth.

Do you find yourself constantly wrestling with anxiety, maybe feeling trapped in a cycle of trying to please everyone around you? Social situations leave you drained, but you also want to do more with your friends. Or perhaps right now you're going through a period of life that feels overwhelmingly challenging and stressful. I work with people just like you, who want not just relief but a way to overcome these struggles and live a more fulfilling life. I help clients manage anxiety, ADHD, boundaries and life stressors. If you're ready to embark on a journey toward healing and fulfillment, I'm here to guide you every step of the way!

Offering Therapy-ish Consultations: solution-oriented conversations focusing on tools, strategies and resources. Great for people who are unsure about the need for ongoing therapy, Consultations provide practical guidance to handle problems and stressors in your relationships, work, health and overall well-being. I lightheartedly describe my Consultations as Therapy-ish, because they have therapeutic qualities like psychotherapy, while being distinct from therapy itself. This unique approach to professional support and guidance provides an option for those whom the focus and framework of therapy might not be a fit.

My best wishes to you for a Happy and Healthy New Year 2024. My practice is currently online only and currently accepting new patients. Please call or text me at 207-409-3459 if you would like to have an opportunity to discuss your interest in pursuing individual or couples counseling. In my work with others I have found many struggle with aligning their life values and goals with living a meaningful and purposeful life in areas of relationship to self and others. Being able to patiently listen to your self as well as sharing your "voice" in relationship with others is so important to this life journey. You may be stuck, not broken!

Please note that I do not have any openings at this time. Please check back as I update this as my status changes.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy. My goal is to create a safe and therapeutic environment for each of my clients. I usually use the first three sessions to get to know the client, establish trust and identify what it is they want to work on. Throughout treatment it is important to me that the client feels as though they are in control of their journey. I like to view myself as a guide for the client while they explore areas that need our attention.

Providing pastoral counseling to individuals and couples for over 20 years within a religious context has provided a wealth of knowledge and experience since transitioning to the clinical side of counseling. This transition comes at mid-life with comprehensive experience in organizational leadership as well as spiritual formation and direction. Having been married for 25 years and having adopted 2 children, I have a passion for strengthening marriages, families and relationships.
