Therapists in Maine
In response to trauma, loss, or stressors, some people have developed addictions.
In our hurried lives, we sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from loved ones, or "stuck" and unsure about where we are headed. Some of us may even struggle with a past that continues to define our present. As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment promoting awareness, cultivating strengths, and encouraging lasting change. My clients frequently describe me as warm, genuine, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, insightful and motivating. My style draws upon an experience range including grief/hospice care, family/couple systems, group and individual treatment for clients with severe psychiatric diagnoses, and addiction.

My areas of expertise have been anxiety disorders, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, PTSD and bereavement.
Because no two people are the same, I strive to provide treatment that fits each person’s unique needs and goals. I hope to foster a partnership with each individual that respects their own problem-solving style, while providing additional tools to address unmet needs. I believe that everyone has strengths and challenges. Our work together can fortify those strengths while mitigating challenges to reduce stress and suffering in daily life.

I am a strength based therapist and have been in practice for over 13 years. It is my belief that each of us possess unique and special gifts, aspects of our true selves, that allow for us to healthfully manage difficult and painful circumstances. Depression, anxiety, grief/ loss, low self-esteem, relationship issues often dull our light and impede our ability to access the gifts we inherently possess. Through an integrative approach that utilizes aspects of psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work and a dash of mysticism, it is my honor to witness as you gain insight into your own sacred self.

While I know the human experience is far more complex than any diagnosis, I am comfortable supporting those struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, grief, identity and self-esteem issues, and more.
It takes real courage to ask for help and prioritize your wellbeing! Maybe you are realizing a need to look back and heal from old wounds, or maybe you’re hoping to transform your life and move into new ways of being. Healing and transformation are both possible, and I’m here to support you in these endeavors. My primary orientation as a therapist is existential-humanistic, meaning I honor the pursuits for self-knowledge, authenticity, and meaning-making. I aim to give space to the parts of you that are wanting to break through while also acknowledging the parts of you that may fear or push against this change (with compassion!).
