Therapists in Gorham, ME

***PLEASE NOTE: I am unable to accept new clients at this time***It's such a blessing for me as a clinician to spend each day living out my passion of helping others through my work and witnessing the journey to emotional growth and wellness. I provide a safe, supportive, judgement-free environment, allowing you space to express your wants and needs freely. Life presents us with many challenges which can create barriers to health, happiness and satisfaction. Together we can work to break down these barriers to assist you in achieving the life you want, but more importantly, deserve.

Are you feeling ungrounded, untethered, or disconnected from yourself? Maybe you need some support closing in on goals that are just a little out of reach? Life can be bumpy. Responsibilities and emotions (and the stories that often accompanies them) can be overwhelming. Sometimes old traumas visit and need your attention. Discovering yourself and your path is an ongoing process-I know it well & I'm here for it. . . let's craft a way to support you and help you reach a new version of yourself. Investing in yourself is a worthwhile adventure. Now accepting WA state counseling clients or coaching clients from wherever you live.

With compassion and a uniquely client-centered approach to presenting concerns, I support you as you progress through life transitions for healing and growth. Clients say they appreciate the strong rapport, emotional reinforcement, insight, and holistic perspective. My style is interactive and nonjudgmental. I am dedicated to working with a variety of problem areas, including relationship conflict, trauma, anxiety, depression, and multi-cultural concerns. My work is integrative, concentrating on mind/body/spirit wellness. Counseling is offered on a brief or longer-term basis.

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.

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.

The world is currently facing unprecedented challenges that can cause an immense amount of mental health stress. I specialize in coercive control, narcissistic abuse, and covert abuse. I have training in CBT and DBT, specializing in understanding behavioral reactions and urges. Please get in touch with me to discuss the treatment that matches your emotional, mental, and financial needs.

Most of my professional life I have been in private practice in New Hampshire and have recently made the move to Maine to be nearer family. My experience spans all ages in a variety of settings. I have worked with first responders and both active duty service personnel and veterans. Some clients want to know more about the person they are seeing and I am happy to discuss my background and credentials. Others want to immediately focus on the issues they are concerned about and I am prepared to start where ever the client wishes. Please call if you have questions about whether I can help with your particular situation. I believe in giving back to my community and therefore have volunteered for the American Red Cross for over 25 years.

Profile is up to date as of 6/27/24. I believe that people's emotional health is based upon a variety of factors including their biological make-up, the environment, relationships, and events from their upbringing. People develop beliefs to make their way in the world, and apply these beliefs as they function in their present day to day lives. Problems may result when beliefs that were once useful no longer make sense. Through therapy, it is my job to help people bring these beliefs into consciousness, so that they may then be modified to better fit the present.

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.

Choosing a recovery path is very individual and what may work for one person may not work for another. What I am interested in is what works for you and supporting you with the goals you want to achieve. I provide a confidential and caring environment giving you the opportunity to be in a neutral space and explore what's important to you. I offer alcohol/drug counseling for those wanting support in their recovery, struggling with addiction and for their loved ones, mutual aid support groups, parenting education groups and relationship coaching. Please feel free to read more about what I offer & my qualifications section below.

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.

Are you struggling with grief over losses, relationship issues, setting boundaries, anxiety, depression, parenting, etc.? I am trained to help with emotional, psychological and faith issues (if they are relevant to you), with no interest in "converting" anyone to any particular faith. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental coping strategies and support. I have been offering Telehealth sessions (audio or video, your choice) for adults 21+ since completing specific training during the pandemic.

Hello and Welcome! I provide support to adult individuals and couples. I have been described by my clients as radically compassionate and easy to talk to. Using a person centered, trauma informed, emotions-focused and holistic approach, I will support and empower you to improve your overall health and well-being. I will assist you in personal goal exploration, accessing any pains and challenges that are keeping you from living a fulfilling life, and will provide you with space and guidance to find your own answers.

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.

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. People are much more complex than a handful of symptoms on a Tik Tok video. 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.

Living with a serious neurodegenerative illness, like Parkinson’s Disease, MS, and strokes often comes with a progressive cascade of losses, which then demand attention and call for solutions. Ever-changing symptoms can become exhausting, overwhelming, and isolating for both the person with the diagnosis and their care partners. I understand the physical realities of your diagnosis and the emotional experiences that can come with such serious diagnoses. When we bring our whole-selves to the equation, we can often untangle the knotted bits and make sense of how to use what we have, constructively and beautifully.

I counsel from a wellness perspective and seek to meet my clients where they are in their personal journey.

Please note that my practice is at capacity at this time. I specialize in working with high school age teens and adult women, using warmth and humor to build authentic connection. If anxiety and sadness are interfering with your life and relationships, you're battling an intrusive inner critic, or having a hard time finding your voice or direction, I can help. A supportive, non-biased therapeutic relationship is a major key in achieving positive change.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have worked with and have helped clients who suffer with depression, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, OCD, panic disorders, grief, self esteem issues, bulimia, binge eating and obesity. Please note - due to working with clients via ZOOM only, I no longer see clients with severe/significant eating disorders.
