I have never met an addict or alcoholic with a drug or drinking problem. Does this sound strange? The fact is I've met hundreds of individuals with a solution that is no longer working. Drugs and alcohol have been the solution, not the problem. Addicts and Alcoholics have an above average intelligence and a highly sensitive nervous system. This combination is especially challenging in these unprecedented times when it is natural to reach for relief in the form of a substance or behavioral addiction. If your solution is no longer working, I am here to help. I have maintained sobriety for over nearly 40 years. It can be done.

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.

My practice is focused on helping couples improve the quality of their relationships. Having healthy and secure relationships keep us physically and emotionally happier and healthier. When we feel disconnected, our body, mind and soul inevitably suffer. We all experience adversity and heartbreak; the trick is finding meaningful connection in the midst of challenges. The science of attachment provides an exciting roadmap to heal relationship distress. Learning how to seek and receive emotional comfort and connection creates resilience, protection, energy and is the antidote to the feelings of loneliness and helplessness.

Do you experience the outdoors as a place of healing and comfort? Can you imagine meeting with your therapist outside for support? To learn skills to improve your life and overall well-being? I love the outdoors and am excited to offer the option of meeting in person outside for therapy in the Portland and Scarborough areas, with telehealth as a backup when the weather does not cooperate. Indoors or outside, throughout the year, you can expect a supportive and comfortable atmosphere in which to heal and grow when you and/or your partner, or your child or teen meet with me for therapy.

Is your life turning out the way you planned? Are your personal relationships succeeding? Are you finding the right career for you? Do people know the real you? Too often we lose track of how we exist each day. Depression over past mistakes or anxiety about what might happen in the future prevent us from being who we really want to be in the present. The goal of counseling is to help you develop a better relationship with your 'self' in order to improve your relationships with others. Check out my video on YouTube to learn more about my approach.

To me, the bedrock of meaningful treatment is a feeling of comfort and ease with your therapist. I consider it a great privilege to assist people in their growth and healing. Giving to people in this way is an honor and a joy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by everything that you've got on your plate right now? Are you a mom who finds herself trying to balance her family, her career, and squeeze in self-care when you have even a second to breathe? Are you experiencing depression and/or anxiety and finding it difficult to feel that you're at your best? Life is tough, and motherhood is a wildly wonderful yet challenging journey. I love working with, and supporting, other mothers or anyone struggling. You are so much to so many people. Take some time out for you.

Hello, my practice is full at this time and I am not accepting new clients. I use Body-Centered Psychotherapy as an approach to holistic healing. I work with young adults through older adult during/throughout life transitions. My back ground in dance/movement therapy and creative arts enables me to use techniques that help balance and integrate emotional, cognitive, social, and physical well being. I am also trained in mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Prenatal and postpartum women as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and substance abuse can greatly benefit from my partnership.

Hello, thank you for taking time to be here. Therapy is an investment in time, personal commitment, and money. My practice has shifted since COVID to seeing less people, for 60 to 90 minutes, and not accepting insurance. Hakomi, Mindfulness, Somatic Psychology, CBT and other modalities are part of the support provided as people move through grief (death, terminal illness, divorce...); healing past trauma, re-surfacing or ready to liberate from, the lies they embed in our narratives; and reclaiming the day to day wakefulness of being. Anxiety, depression, problems at the macro level, benefit from mindfulness and action, and therapy.

I work from a perspective that focuses on joining you in the present and, at the same time, putting your current experiences and perspectives in context by exploring how your personal history currently impacts your life. I'm happy to meet with most adults, couples, families, and kids as well as adolescents (just remember that no matter the age of your child, there will probably be some family therapy). I take a laid back approach, but I'm serious about your health. Please get in touch and let's see if I'm a good fit for you.

Here’s my essential conviction: you are a survivor—and whatever kind of surviving your life has required of you has taught you not only vital tools of survival but also vital ideas about what is possible in yourself, in relationships, and in the world. I assume you are strong; I also assume that you neither always feel this way nor want to need to be. So I also imagine you may feel a bit weary. We’ll nurture you together. This may involve feeling disowned feelings, thinking novel thoughts, or connecting with your body in disowned or novel ways.

I am a pre-licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I am also in my second year of a clinical psychology doctoral program. Asking for help when we are struggling with our mental health is very difficult for many people. We rarely have a person dedicated to our well-being who can exhibit empathy for the many ways in which we might feel ‘stuck’. I believe that people can direct their own course, either through short-term focused therapy or longer-term modalities. I offer flexibility for my clients because I know that life can be busy.
