Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Maine

I work with people (18+) with concerns related to anxiety/stress, depression/low self-esteem, and health. I work with people when worry and stress interfere with their ability to work, have meaningful relationships, or carry out daily routines. I see clients with depressed mood and low self-esteem who have difficulty prioritizing their own wants and needs and consequently feel powerless, unfulfilled and dissatisfied with life. I also work with clients with health related concerns, emotional eating and poor body image.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. I work with adults ages 18 and up. My initial aim is to establish a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel understood. I believe in the mind/body connection and the importance of helping you to become more present in your life to allow access to inner resources. We will work collaboratively to assess your individual strengths and goals and I will do what works best for you. I will be a calm and genuine presence in the room.

Hello! I am glad you have taken a step to better your mental health! I am primarily working with Adults at this time, but will work with children 14+. I use goal-oriented therapy that involves the individual in every step of the process. The modalities of therapy I use, are evidence-based (CBT, ACT, DBT, etc.), which aim to decrease interfering thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as increase happiness and success in life. We will also work together in a holistic manner to insure we are addressing all aspects of your life that could affect mental health!

With over 20 years experience working with children and families, I am committed to providing individualized counseling that helps client’s address life’s challenges. My clinical vision is to ensure that my office provides a safe haven where my clients can experience their vulnerabilities while sharing their stories. Drawing on active listening and collaboration, I employ an empathetic and practical approach that is carefully attuned to the needs of each individual.

I am currently accepting new clients for telehealth and outdoor sessions (after initial telehealth intake session). I am a LCSW providing evidence-based psychotherapy to individuals. Treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) through an EMDRIA-certified organization.

My role in the therapeutic relationship is to help guide individuals to what their bodies and brains already know though may not be able to access just yet. I aim to provide insight that can disrupt the now-unhelpful routines and habits that may keep you stuck or pull you down. This is an alliance. You bring all that you are and all that you know about yourself while I guide how to move through some of the harder parts. Together, we can find the path for you to see that you are a pretty amazing human being who deserves to feel comfortable in your own skin and are worthy of compassion.

I am excited at the potential opportunity to work with yourself, or a loved one. Durning therapy I gain an understanding of an individuals perspective in which they see themselves, others, and life’s conditions. I work with the individual to identifying specific problems or issues in your daily life, become aware of unproductive thought patterns and how they can impact your life. I work to identify negative thinking and reshape it in a way that changes how you feel, as well as learn new behaviors and put them into practice. -Please note, recently I have had a few daytime openings open up, I do not have any openings past 2pm.-

Intelligent. Holistic. CBT and The Work are the foundation of my practice. Intelligent because they are evidence based and universal. Holistic because they incorporate the western medical model and the eastern spiritual model of health. You will begin to understand your own mind, your own unconscious habits, and a way out of confusion. You will see what is causing your suffering and how to heal. I offer walking-and-talking sessions outside in Hope Woods, sessions in the office, or Telehealth.

Imagine someone deeply gripped by addiction, feeling overwhelmed and desperate for a way out. Physically, they suffer from symptoms like insomnia, fatigue, and malnutrition due to substance abuse. Emotionally, they're trapped in shame, guilt, and despair, straining relationships and damaging their self-worth. Mentally, cravings dominate their thoughts, leaving little room for anything else. Spiritually, they feel disconnected and purposeless, sinking deeper into isolation and despair. If this scenario is playing out in your life, it may be the right time to call. I will offer you a safe non-judgemental space to discuss these issues.

What you want is simple - a meaningful, authentic, and connected life.

I work with people experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unresolved trauma, relationship issues, social alienation, and loneliness.
