Therapists in Cape Elizabeth, ME

Immediate openings for family therapy, couples counseling, individual therapy, parent coaching and executive coaching. I am an expert in attachment trauma and use this frame to address parenting challenges and fractured families. I love working with couples and use Crucible and Gottman frames to address issues with intimacy and communication. I am also an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of personality disorders. I work with my clients to understand what lead to their challenges and create a plan to address their unique needs. I use Mentalization Based Therapy techniques in addition to other modalities for treatment.

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 struggle for self-knowledge and self-responsibility. 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!).

Have you been told you are oversensitive? Too emotional? Ask too many questions? Never really fit other people's expectations? Is parenting your own ND/highly sensitive kid putting you in overwhelm? You are not broken or too much! I provide support and guidance to neurodivergent and other highly sensitive people in an affirming model. We will work together to clarify who you are and what you need, reduce emotional agitation, and establish firm, clear, & loving boundaries for real self-care.

I now have immediate openings Tuesdays in-person in our Falmouth office! Energy for change is created when there is space to reflect upon and explore your life. I appreciate being able to co-create this space for curiosity and inquiry with you. Maybe you want to embody more joy, love, and health in your life. Maybe you want to build more skills in navigating the day to day emotions that permeate your mind, body and spirt. Whatever your goals, my work is to support you on your particular path, with the ups and downs that are an inevitable part of your process.

As we grow, we all experience transitions and challenges - both internal & external - that can shake our core beliefs about ourselves, our relationships, and our sense of belonging and purpose in this world. I am passionate about helping people work through difficult times or process past experiences to rebuild their sense of self worth, develop healthy coping skills, and confidently move towards a fulfilling and authentic life. As your therapist, my goal for all my clients is to discover effective and sustainable approaches for managing your emotional and mental wellbeing. No matter where you are on your journey, you deserve peace.

I came to the world of therapy the long way, following two decades of outdoor leadership, adventure group work, mountain guiding, and experiential education. I find many connections between my work as an outdoor leader and my work as a therapist. I believe the same principles used by leaders to help folks achieve their goals in the backcountry can apply to our everyday lives. I feel I can be most helpful to those who accept being challenged and are working towards goals.

With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I have supported individuals ages 18-78 facing a variety of challenges, and tailor my approach to suit each person's needs. I have specialized experience supporting those navigating "early adulthood" (ages 18-40), a psychologically rich period with unique challenges and needs. I am particularly passionate about reducing human suffering through supporting the work of individuation and self-actualization.

My conceptual skills and strengths from clinical practice are well-suited for highly motivated individuals; open to learning how to advance and stabilize their emotional health, based on sound principles for psychological and philosophic conflict-resolution. My approach reflects the understanding that growth requires critical self-reflection and ample time to actualize meaningful change. My experiences in academic studies, clinical services, and social justice affords me a broad range of insights; relevant to developing timely orientations for supporting composed ways, of handling internal and external, past and present conflicts.

Are you seeking a space to see change or growth in yourself, your relationships, your parenting? A place for your child/adolescent to work through the emotional waves of transitions, relationships, traumatic experiences, worries and to build confidence and success? A space to come together as parents to support your child(ren) in navigating the complicated world? Join me and together we will build a path forward using evidenced-based therapy models (CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused-CBT) in combination with empathy and creativity. Unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns are changeable, and I am here to help you realize this truth.

Do you feel like you're spinning your wheels, like you can't quite hit your stride in life? You are not alone. Many of us with ADHD and Executive Function deficits feel that way! Let's work together to build your confidence and learn strategies to make your day-to-day more manageable. :) I am an ADHD/Executive Function Coach and Certified Relationship Coach; coaching provides skills, structure and support in reaching personal goals.

I offer presence and connection to support couples and individuals towards greater authenticity and fulfillment. I understand well the tremendous capacity for the psyche to accommodate unresolved trauma by intricate and patterned coping means. This tempers my approach towards one of gentle courage with clients. Together we learn to find a pacing that creates safety for making contact with what hurts. I am deeply interested in supporting the recognition of your intrinsic capacity to grow towards wholeness. This occurs through dialogue, active processing of emotions, and encountering your truth in the present.

Emotions are our rudder leading us through the seas of life, both stormy and calm. They are not something to be afraid of, ashamed of, or to run away from. When connected with and channeled in a healthy way, emotions are adaptive and effective guides for transformation and healing. We can sink or we can use the healing power of emotions to authentically navigate through our life journey. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you have past experience, whether you're looking for yourself or for couple's support - your needs, pain and joys deserve to be heard in an empathic, accepting and safe setting.
