Currently accepting new clients. Accepting Mainecare and Medicare. Therapy doesn’t have to be a drag, and therapists aren’t all cut from the same cloth. If you’re wondering whether this could actually help you build a richer, more fulfilling life, you’re in good company. The key is finding someone you can relate to, be yourself around, and even share a laugh with—laughter is still great medicine. Alongside practical ways to bring mindfulness into a busy life, I use evidence-based treatments tailored strictly to your goals.
Change happens whether you resist it or try to force control over it. My job is to help you realize that when faced with a still mind, change works for you. When met with avoidance, negative emotions, and self-criticism, it works against you. "When two lights come together, they do not compete for brightness; they simply illuminate more of the path ahead."
My degrees, license, and office qualify me to offer professional therapy. But it’s my lived experience, broad background, and genuine curiosity about people that give me the confidence to support you in a fast-moving world. Couldn't we all use a hand sometimes? Let's talk.
