Have life's challenges left you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and alone? Does your life transition feel more like you're "stuck", stressed, and unsure what to do? I understand and value working as a team with you in a warm, professional, and safe setting that permits clients the freedom of unconditional acceptance, while exploring how to move forward in life by providing helpful insight and healthy functional tools that encourage restored and positive relationships. As a woman, mother, and grandmother, I have valuable life experience that enhances the counseling process by relating on a personal level to your concerns and unique needs.

I am a licensed psychologist with a strong skill set in providing testing and therapy services for Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, and Learning Disorders at any age. I love the evaluation process and often feel like a detective looking for clues to help explain what is going on. Sometimes we know something is not quite working, but need help figuring out the clues and what to do about them. I'm here to help guide you through identification of issues, treatment options and access to services or accommodations.

Not accepting new clients
The most common need I hear from clients is that they have done a lot of talk therapy in the past and they are stuck. I get it. That's the client I'm excited to work with. My ideal client is one who wants to do the work because I show up for my half of the therapeutic relationship. I bring my varied 24 years of experience to every session. My specialties are complex trauma and addiction, and this also encompasses obsessive overthinking, chronic low self-confidence, generalized anxiety, relationship issues, etc. Therapy is a team effort to make lasting changes outside of the therapy environment.

For more than 20 years in Maine and Florida I’ve helped teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief and trauma in healthy healing and productive ways. I bring an understanding of trauma, grief, depression and anxiety and how they can play out in negative ways in everyday life. I bring 25+ years of working with the LGBTQIA+ community helping folks celebrate who they are while at the same time acknowledging the stress and unique family factors this amazing community deals with on a daily basis. Having run a grief group for over 10 years, I have a deep understanding of loss and the individuality of each person's journey.
