Sometimes you can be in a room full of people yet feel completely alone. This feeling of isolation or lack of connection is often the core of depression and anxiety. Once these feelings take hold they can be a constant hindrance, keeping you from reaching your full potential. Often, we know in our hearts that we can excel, but self-doubt creeps in and sabotages our efforts which can keep us from reaching goals. We all have an inner-critic which can take hold though negative self-talk. For example, have you ever said to yourself, "I have no idea what I'm doing - I'm a fraud" or "If people really knew things about me they'd run in the other direction". This inner dialogue can be excruciatingly painful and can be damaging to our self-esteem when left unchecked. In some people this inner critic runs 247 and causes them to lose confidence and engage in behaviors that can compound their problems and make things even worse. I can help. Reaching out can be a hard thing to do, but I am here to support you in your time of need. I want to understand what you're going through. It is vital to have someone on your side, who can accept you unconditionally, who connects and empathizes with you, who offers you a safe place to talk about whatever you need to talk about. Maybe you feel lost and just need to clear your head. We are all different and unique, but I believe we all have the answers inside. Let me help you find your answers.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples who are looking for new ways to approach their lives. I believe we learn strategies for being in the world from our experiences and social circumstances, and sometimes they work better than others. I also believe that our minds and bodies are a single system, so changes we make in one area are bound to impact the other. As a result, I like to explore creative biopsychosocial solutions. I wholeheartedly believe that my clients are in the driver’s seat. I’m here as a resource, support, and co-explorer through the therapeutic process. In addition to working with concerns like anxiety and depression, I specialize in integrating sexuality issues and mental health. Sexual identity, relationships, love, sex, health, pleasure, and hurt are essential parts of life, but they’re often compartmentalized in therapy. I have the comfort, skill, and knowledge to address these issues holistically. I know that finding a therapist you feel good about working with can be a challenge. We’re not one-size-fits-all. If you think we could be a good fit, please feel free to contact me by phone or email for more information, or to schedule a time to talk.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I listen with an unconditional ear to the needs of each individual or couple I work with. I engage with people who are experiencing emotional pain, sadness, and worry, as well as those who are facing grief, life changes, relationship problems, a history of trauma, and people who are having difficulty adapting to a new medical diagnosis or a chronic medical condition. In my experience, growth means finding a way to become unstuck from a place of discomfort and moving forward with confidence into personal development. I have extensive experience working with people who grapple with anxiety and depression, as well as those with medical issues such as chronic pain and new, life-changing medical circumstances. I am also experienced in successfully treating PTSD and trauma recovery. Prior to living in Maine, I lived in Germany for 6 12 years where I treated active duty military and their families at the U.S. Army hospital (LRMC). I was honored to serve our country as a civilian, and the experience had a profound impact on me professionally.

My approach to helping others is to walk alongside in support of you. I come to this field after many years in other capacities, where I often enjoyed the same types of work. They include, being part of a team, identifying solutions and helping others move toward change or betterment. I'm told that my personal style can be direct but always in a kind and supportive way. Challenging others to do and be their best is the gift I bring to my work. Even if I meet with you once, I am sure you will take away something positive!

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes... Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.
