Please note that I am currently at capacity and unable to accept new patients at this time. There is wisdom in the ways we adapt to our environments, but they do not always serve us in the present moment. My aim is to help people identify their adaptive patterns and view them with compassion, while also learning what to hold and what to let go. As a neurobiological informed therapist, I aim to help people move from judgement, shame and isolation to curiosity, acceptance and connection.

I have been working with individuals with substance use disorders for over 10 years. I can help and support you on your road of recovery.

I hope to offer a listening ear, help and support on your life's journey. I am offering DEEP Evals, and DEEP Counseling. Also offering Substance use Evaluations.

I see you scrolling, checking out all these profiles. Bit overwhelming huh? How do you choose? Who is right? Will they judge you? The cool thing is that it's so trendy to have a therapist; weren't you aware? That's why it's so hard to find one these days! But, it is still kind of scary to take the plunge. That's not how it's supposed to be you know; when you enter my office, my one and only goal is to help you feel accepted just how you are, no matter what you're bringing through the door. Kids making you crazy? Partner on your last nerve? Memories or old trauma preventing your from feeling like you can move forward? I can help.

I am passionate about providing a safe space for those seeking a non-judgmental environment to heal and grow. My practice is strengths based and I use a variety of evidence-based modalities to help people help themselves. What’s most important in therapy in my opinion, is that the client is the expert of themselves. I do not accept insurance and unless you have a referral or are court ordered, my client load is full at this time. E-mail is the best way to reach me.

Couseling is a journey that starts with accepting where you are and finding a way to the other side of the challenge. Using a strength based approach we start with the resources you do have on board. Then through a variety of tools we discover what is geeting in the way of finding the peace and hope you are looking for. As a therapist I am aware that we are complex people that often need a safe place to sort things out and make meaning of life. .
I am able to accept most forms of insurance including Mainecare.

I’ve spent 20 years helping other humans transform fear, self doubt, and shame into courage, the ability to take risks, and freedom from the vices that keep us stuck. Learning to have a growth mindset is our most powerful tool for mental & emotional wellness. Fully developing our ability to recognize, deal with, and move through uncomfortable feelings is a game changer in life. That work, along with changes to our lifestyle habits and the health of our relationships can help us become our best selves. Therapy can help you develop these skills and improve the quality of your life!

Welcome. Life can present challenges that we need help navigating and this can be especially true when we experience trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, disconnection from ourselves, our purpose, our loved ones or a general stuckness. My work is to help you identify what needs attention and healing so you can change unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that hold you back. I believe this process can lead you to clearer, more loving understanding of yourself that allows you to shift in profound, sometime surprising ways. I'd be honored to guide you in this, so if it feels right please reach out and let's connect.

Counseling is a journey and in that I feel there most important factor is establishing a solid therapeutic alliance. In this we will work to develop options and opportunities to aid in your journey. In this I enjoy working with couples, teens and individuals in working to reduce anxiety, anger management issues with trauma, depression and inter personal and academic difficulties. Each day offers us a chance to grow and to enhance our confidence and interpersonal happiness. I also have specific training to support out military, veterans, first responders and their families who have their own unique challenges.

I am a seasoned clinican with over thirty years expericence in the field. I seek to create a comfortable, professional, and safe environment. My style is personal, informal, and direct. I endeavor to use humor, when appropriate, to put clients at ease, and provide perspective in order to move our work forward. My orientation is psychodynamic though I rely heavily on cognitive behavioral approaches because they have been shown to be effective and because the concepts can be readily understood.

Provides in person and Telehealth visits.
Everyone is subject to facing challenges in life, some more difficult than others. It's common to need extra support during these times, it can often bring us comfort, reassurance and clarity. Remembering that we are strong, resilient and that we hold our own solutions can be empowering and provide confidence. When faced with mental health related symptoms, addictions issues or family addiction issues, it's easy to become overwhelmed and forget what we need to do to take care of ourselves. Seeking therapy is a brave and decisive way to provide self care. We are often more kind to others than we are to ourselves, prioritize you.

You’ve experienced some form of spiritual awakening. Or you may be wanting to deepen an already pre-existing relationship with your sacred, interiorized Self. You may have tasted heightened states of consciousness, unitive feelings of connection, or instances of expanded awareness which are sometimes misunderstood by others as pathology. You sense that your individualized feelings of anxiety or depression, e.g., are really indicators of a thirst for personal transformation. You yearn for tangible access to your mystical potential while remaining rooted and grounded in your everyday life.

Eff. 8/8/24: I am not accepting new clients at this time. I wholly believe we all have capacity for growth, regardless of where we begin. Life is fluid and people are not diagnostic labels, contrary to what social media would tell you. Because of this, I utilize an integrative model in my work, incorporating different therapeutic styles depending on the client and the circumstances. My basic approach is psychodynamic in nature - helping you to understand what has happened in your life so you can better see the patterns that are no longer serving you, and identifying actions with you to change them.

Accepting New Clients- Movement and Talk- my focus typically centers around issues of depression, anxiety, self esteem, and confidence while incorporating physically moving our bodies. The type of movement is determined by the client-taking into considerations their interests, needs, abilities, and counseling goals. It can be walking, stretching, hiking to fitness in the gym. It's mindful and supportive with an extra goal of increasing clients comfort level and power over their health - which then can help to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, promote mental clarity, boost self-esteem, and improve sleep.
