Sometimes taking that first step can seem lonely, overwhelming or intimidating. I can help to make your journey for change less overwhelming. I will be here as a source of truth, hope, and support, while witnessing the full spectrum of your journey.

Do you find yourself constantly wrestling with anxiety, maybe feeling trapped in a cycle of trying to please everyone around you? Social situations leave you drained, but you also want to do more with your friends. Or perhaps right now you're going through a period of life that feels overwhelmingly challenging and stressful. I work with people just like you, who want not just relief but a way to overcome these struggles and live a more fulfilling life. I help clients manage anxiety, ADHD, boundaries and life stressors. If you're ready to embark on a journey toward healing and fulfillment, I'm here to guide you every step of the way!

After 35 years practicing as a clinical psychologist I have come to understand that effective treatment must be determined specifically for each client and applied in a respectful and cooperative manner. Treatment choices are made based on the uniqueness of the individual, his or her goals, and current life circumstances. They may include behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, in-depth therapy, or couples and family therapy. One treatment modality is not appropriate for all.

Thanks for taking the first step with me; I'm Belle and I am an Asian American clinician, community builder, born and raised in Maine. When I am not in the office, you can probably find me in search of my next oat milk latte, or catching up on my reading in a local coffee shop. Other things I enjoy (in no particular order) include: Cultivating eclectic playlists on Spotify, being near my rescue dog, taking a Spin class, and going way down a Wiki hole. As a therapist, I believe our relationships and how we engage within them shape who we are, the meanings we create, and our outlooks on life.

Are you in the midst of self discovery or seeking to better navigate life's challenges? It’s natural to feel overwhelmed when facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or significant life transitions alone. Having a supportive therapist can be transformative, offering profound insights, coping strategies, and a compassionate perspective. If you're on a journey of personal growth, seeking deeper self-understanding, and aiming for overall well-being, therapy can be instrumental in achieving those aspirations.

Are you a highly-motivated, ambitious individual who thrives on the pursuit of excellence? Is your goal-oriented nature constantly driving you towards perfection?

In my work with others I have found many struggle with aligning their life values and goals with living a meaningful and purposeful life in areas of relationship to self and others. Being able to patiently listen to your self as well as sharing your "voice" in relationship with others is so important to this life journey. You may be stuck, not broken!

As a dually licensed therapist I specialize in both mental health therapy as well as substance abuse and affected other counseling. Although I am able to provide either form of treatment alone, it is often appropriate to combine the two as a treatment for those experiencing difficulties due to the co-occurrence of symptoms, whether they have the substance abuse issue themselves or are affected by a loved one's substance abuse.

Limited openings at this time. Welcome to my profile!

Hello and welcome to my profile! I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy. My goal is to create a safe and therapeutic environment for each of my clients.

I like to view myself as a guide for the client while they explore areas that need our attention.

We try to take care of ourselves, connect with supportive people, and make good decisions - but being alive can be overwhelming at times - losses of health, loved ones, our sense of balance. When this happens it may bring up older unresolved issues or we may feel depressed or anxious. Sometimes it helps to just slow things down and look at what's going on with curiosity rather than judgment. It might be time to take a step back to look at what your goals are, what obstructs you enjoying your life more and getting satisfaction from your relationships - to look at creating new meaning from your experiences.
