In Person Therapists in West Bayside, Portland, ME
I work with people (18+) with concerns related to anxiety/stress, depression/low self-esteem, and health. I work with people when worry and stress interfere with their ability to work, have meaningful relationships, or carry out daily routines. I see clients with depressed mood and low self-esteem who have difficulty prioritizing their own wants and needs and consequently feel powerless, unfulfilled and dissatisfied with life. I also work with clients with health related concerns, emotional eating and poor body image.

Being disconnected from our emotions and our life experiences can cause us to feel isolated, struggle with relationships, and have a hard time being motivated to take good care of ourselves. I offer a strengths-based, collaborative approach where the relationship we form becomes the foundation of the work. We will work together to enable you to gain more awareness and understanding of how you experience everyday life, which in turn will help you work towards wellness, balance, and stability. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate, and safe environment for both adults and adolescents.

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.

I have been in private practice since 1989 as a psychotherapist/LCPC. Psychotherapy is a respectful interaction between client and therapist. We arrive at answers together, answers that are specific to the individual client. Both short-term therapy and long-term therapy are provided. I work with adolescents, adults and couples.

My clinical approach weaves together the science and art of psychotherapy, and rests on two main principles. First, I am committed to doing what works: I draw on the latest clinical research to provide treatments rooted in a range of conceptual frameworks that are well supported by scientific evidence. Second, I recognize and honor individual differences: I use creativity and skill to design treatments that align with each client's unique needs and experiences.

I am most proud of my ability to develop trusting relationships with clients of all ages. My training in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing has provided me with the tools to turn theory into effective practice. My clients consistently tell me that, without ever being judgmental, I empower them to change for the better and become more self-confident, always within a safe, nurturing environment.

It is natural to seek support when we feel overwhelmed, confused, fearful or depressed.The therapeutic process offers us the opportunity to build on skills that we already have in order to find relief, hope and healing. My work combines practices of narrative therapy (examining the beliefs we have about ourselves), cognitive behavioral work (paying attention to our thoughts), expressive therapy (healing through art and writing) and mindfulness exercises.

You don't have to struggle alone. Anxiety, trauma, and stress are part of life for everyone and, at times, can be overwhelming. But relief is possible. If you've never felt comfortable about sharing your difficulties, I can offer you a safe place to find what works for you. Even if you've tried counseling before, new research, new strategies emerge all the time.

You are the source of your own strength. There are times, however, when you may need help in accessing your internal Self. We all need to feel a sense of balance with ourselves, connection to others, and the freedom to make choices. When we lose touch with these parts of ourselves - whether it is our independence, sense of control, spirituality, sexuality, family connection, or ethnicity - we may experience stress, fear, anxiety, and even a loss of meaning in life.

I like to do a lot of listening and to provide emotional support prior to making any suggestions. Also, I have found that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a very effective component to counseling because it helps clients to identify habitual coping strategies that he/she has been employing that have helped to reduce stress in the past but now cause all sorts of problems. In addition to providing emotional support, I will help you to be mindful of these tendencies and practice replacing the thoughts (and the behaviors associated with them) with strategies that will help you live a happier,life.
