There are a lot of therapists out there, so I will make an attempt to summarize my beliefs about therapy in three succinct points. First, therapy is not always easy. Second, it is a therapist's job to challenge you. And third, therapeutic rapport is paramount to establishing effective therapy. If this is what you are looking for, I welcome you to schedule an initial appointment.

I am a Licensed MFT working with individual adults and couples.
I have current openings for self-pay, telehealth clients- I believe everyone is capable of the change they want to achieve, and the first step is reaching out for help. Are you struggling with communication issues in your relationship? Does anxiety prevent you from living the life you want? Is the trauma you experienced impacting your day-to-day life, making it hard to feel safe or to trust? I want to work with you to help you feel better and fulfill your potential. Sometimes it just takes someone else believing in us for us to start believing in ourselves. I take an inherently positive approach, finding the potential in everyone.

I have 20 years of mindfulness practice and 10 years training adults, youth, couples, educators, doctors, etc.
Everyone has a dream for their lives, relationships, children, and the unique gifts they have to offer the world. But sometimes we can feel our dream slipping away or that obstacles are blocking our path. You’re reading this now, because despite the challenges you face, you still believe in your dream and capacity for happiness or healing, and you’re looking for the right support to help you succeed. My experience is that the difficulties, traumas, or systemic issues people face can become their greatest strengths. The question is whether you have the right support to help transform these challenges into greater happiness.

Are you feeling ready to shift patterns, expand awareness, and release outgrown stories? Are you looking for deeper connection with yourself and in your relationships? Are you navigating illness, the end of a relationship, a career or similar major transition? These shifts can feel overwhelming to the parts of us that have been wounded in the past, even when our core self wants to choose growth. I support people with heart-centered listening and skillful practices for way-finding in times of destabilization and change.

Discussing sex and sexuality can feel awkward or challenging. Many of us are taught to feel shameful about our bodies, the ways we love, and the ways in which we experience pleasure. I'm here to help you walk away from these old stories. Whether you hope to rebuild trust, communication, intimacy, or joy with yourself or others, my goal is to support your growth. I offer individual and partnered sessions - romantic, platonic, play, lifestyle, D/s, or any other meaningful partner.

My top priority is to support you and your partner in reaching the fullest potential of any kind of relationship you desire, with one another, going forward.
Licensed in NH, OR, ME, VT, and FL. I specialize in working with couples and individuals with a focus on relationships. When things go wrong we develop “secondary” strategies as humans. We may become hyperactivated, deactivated, or anxious and avoidant. Emotion allows us vital information about how we experience ourselves, our interpersonal relationships, and our world. It also mobilizes us into action in our attachment relationships. These strategies, the wisest responses you had for survival at that time, may not be serving you well now.

I have had the privilege of working with couples and witnessing striking growth and transformation in their relationships.
Couples and Relationship Counseling. ON-LINE VIDEO COUNSELING AVAILABLE. All of us enter marriage or a committed relationship with a dream of spending a whole life together. Many couples find themselves struggling at some point- experiencing dissatisfaction and emotional pain. Some want to work it out but don't know how. Others have reached the point where both partners want to end the marriage/ relationship. Still others are ambivalent, where one spouse is “leaning in” and the other “leaning out.” Some couples generally do well together but long to deepen their connection.

I have experience working collaboratively with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, families and Dialectical Behavior Groups (DBT) decreasing anxiety and depression symptoms, increasing emotion regulation, developing interpersonal effectiveness skills, thinking more dialectically, increasing positive relationships & working toward a life worth living!.
It's ok to start therapy just because you think you need a little extra help, even if you are usure of "why". Seeking therapy is a routine and preventive form of healthcare, like going to the dentist. A therapist is like a personal trainer for your mind and your relationships. Perhaps begin by identifying broad motives, your hopes, and your dreams. Consider that your heartfelt thoughts and feelings may be "I just want to be happy." or "I feel stuck" or even "I'm tired of merely going through the motions".

I truly believe that building a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients is imperative for effective treatment.
If only I knew then what I know now about the mind-body connection; the integration of breathe, the power of intuition and the transformation that comes with stillness. I know what it feels like to want to crawl out of my own skin, to look in the rear-view mirror and to rush through miscellaneous tasks without real purpose. I am talking about the difference between living and existing. The difference between doing and being. You are not alone —- but you can’t do this by yourself because if you could, you would have by now.

Some reasons people come to therapy include; anger, stress, relationship issues, trauma, loss of a baby/babies to abortion, Intimacy Issues, grief, defining roles in today's culture, health issues, lack of self care, expressing and identifying emotions.
I work with individuals and couples. Often men find it difficult to identify their emotions or are unable to translate their emotional experiences into words. I can teach you to learn behaviors and skills to allow you to better express emotions such as vulnerability, intimacy struggles, and perceived weakness. It is very important to most men to feel they are respected and appreciated. Men need a safe place to express their feelings of hurt and vulnerability. These are valid and important male feelings. Men can enhance their well being by learning to identify those feelings, express them appropriately, and be respected for them.

The therapeutic relationship is collaborative, goals and objectives are discussed routinely to ensure that each client's expectations for therapy are met.
I chose a career in mental health after seeing and experiencing the enormous benefits of counseling both personally and professionally. Mental health services have traditionally been difficult to access and utilize. Since Covid, access to telehealth and virtual counseling has made therapy accessible and convenient for clients. My career has allowed me to work with clients from diverse backgrounds, presenting concerns, and experiences. With that experience, knowledge base, and skillset, I am able to provide individualized care based on each client's goals and needs.

Whether you just recently learned about your ADHD, have known for years, or are ADHD-curious you are welcome! I combine aspects of coaching within counseling to explore your authentic identity, past or current issues, beliefs, struggles and strengths along with career, relationship and academic support.
"Liminality" refers to the middle stage of change, the threshhold between what was, and what is yet to be. It is when, and where, we are forced by circumstance or choice to leave behind what is familiar, and to journey into a place of uncertainty. It is a normal part of being human. I named my practice Liminal Therapy to honor the process of change and human resilience. My clients are adults (18+) and include people with ADHD and related anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, addictions, and issues related to the stressors of life stages and transitions. Diversity and multicultural wisdom traditions are welcome and appreciated.
