Despite an often chaotic and painful world, I believe each of us desires, and is capable of, a fulfilling, connected and healthy life.

I understand the challenges a person faces when seeking positive, professional support and am committed to working with my clients to facilitate the changes they are seeking that will allow them to live more fully into their strengths while addressing the areas that may be causing distress or holding them back.

Are you a woman struggling with the complexities of biological, environmental, societal and relational pressures? Or, are you having difficulty with the demands of life and feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted? You are not alone in this. As women, we live in a society that constantly implies that who we are isn’t enough. But, change is possible. Over the years I’ve developed a specialty working with women who are pregnant or have recently given birth, are struggling with depression, anxiety or self-esteem, or who have a history of experiencing childhood trauma. Oftentimes, my clients identify with all of these.

My clients often seek relief from anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance misuse, grief, or struggles adapting to major life changes. The therapeutic space we create together becomes a safe—if not always comfortable—place to explore what's worked before, what you'd like to change, and what that change can look like or mean for you. Through the Counseling and Trauma Therapy Associates agency, I am honored to work with you, and learn about your personal journey and goals. I have experience with a wide range of clients including military veterans and first responders, creative professionals, students, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Most of us have unhealed trauma or wounds whether they are from our childhood, failed relationships, abuse, or grief and loss, our wounds cause us emotional and relationship issues and even physical pain which impacts our functioning and how we feel about ourselves and others. We usually avoid or deny our pain hoping it will just miraculously disappear. Instead, we find ourselves energetically stuck in the same unhealthy patterns of relating to ourselves and others. Many of us are tired, stressed, overwhelmed, stuck, or seeking. With genuine loving kindness, honesty, and support; inner peace, joy, and contentment are possible.

My practice in Maine is permanently closed as I have relocated to the Boston area where I will be doing short term counseling with newly diagnosed adults who are neurodivergent, having been formally diagnosed or self diagnosed. My many years of experience working with the neurodivergent community has provided me with the ways and means in helping to understand and manage an individual’s diagnosis, how it affects those around them and attain a sense of balance and control. I am also available for consultation with the medical community including mental health providers, law enforcement and school systems.
