When life becomes too busy we can begin to feel depleted and stress begins to build, leading to symptoms that can be disruptive to our lives.

I work with people in a safe, non-judgmental capacity. I provide support from a holistic perspective considering the entirety of your experience to assist you in restoring a sense of wellbeing. My areas of specialty include body oriented psychotherapy, developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting, divorce to name a few.

 Opening up to another individual about your mental health concerns and the pain you’ve experienced throughout your life is never easy. Stepping forward and admitting that you’re struggling is such a difficult step, so  kudos to you for considering counseling. I work from a person centered perspective to meet you where you are in life, while keeping your mental health goals in mind. I’m a strong believer that our wellness is rooted not only in our experiences, but in our physical, spiritual, and emotional health as well. I firmly believe therapy should be holistic, and that therapists should come along side you in order to support you in your journey towards improved mental health and wellbeing. 

I have experience working with individuals struggling with substance abuse issues, domestic abuse survivors, adolescents, and adults who struggle with a myriad of mental health diagnosis. I approach each and every therapeutic relationship  with an open mind and tailor my therapeutic approach to fit  my client’s individualized needs. I often uses a hybrid of multiple theoretical orientations, primarily drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Trauma-focused therapy, and Person-centered therapy.

I wholeheartedly believe that we can work together to build on and use the strengths and gifts you already possess to achieve your mental health goals and thrive as an individual moving forward. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you so you can move forward and face your future with hope, peace, and clarity.

At its best, therapy is a safe space where we can see, share, and feel the inherent pain (and beauty) of the human experience. It is a space in which we lay down the lie that says we should all be okay, and instead learn to embrace our struggles with growing kindness and compassion rather than shame and avoidance. As the client, you are the focal point of an evolving process and the expert on your own personal experience, therefor therapy takes a different form and course for everyone. That said, my practice is consistently grounded in somatic techniques, which is a fancy way of saying techniques that focus on the body as well as the mind to guide the process. If you are reading this, I commend you for your curiosity and courage in seeking help and guidance.

Change can be an overwhelming and frustrating journey if done alone. Seeking support from a counselor is a sign of personal strength and can help you to achieve more effective and gratifying results. I believe people have the innate strength to overcome their barriers. However, we all need guidance and support at times to learn how to untap our power, potential, and abilities. At your own pace, we will collaborate to find a balance of cognitive, behavioral, and mind/body techniques that will help you to connect to yourself, cope with stress, and create effective solutions to the challenges you may be facing.  I work with adolescents and adults, and my approach to counseling combines Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Informed Care. This approach can be beneficial for a wide range of diagnoses, as well as for individuals seeking guidance in areas such as sexuality, self-esteem, relationships, career changes, or life transitions. I look forward to the opportunity to empower you to live a more fulfilling life.  My pronouns are She/Her/Hers

Bangor location & Telehealth

It is said that the true strength of therapy is the relationship built between practitioner and client. With a practice rooted in a trauma-informed lens, I am an eclectic practitioner, experienced at building relationships with diverse groups of people seeking healing. Most recently I have been working with those experiencing the crisis and trauma of homelessness. Likewise, I have worked with Veterans, Indigenous community members, elders, women and adolescents. Overall, my work has focused on facilitating healing from experiences of direct and intergenerational trauma, and life stressors which impact wellness. In addition, I have interest in working with the rising number of folks who are experiencing mental health challenges related to global concerns.

It is difficult to look to the future when you are worried about the future of the Earth. Issues that impact the planet unavoidably impact the people who live on it. From living through a Pandemic, to climate change, our global relationship is increasingly recognized as contributing to loss of community and culture, increases in anxiety, depression, PTSD and substance use. If overwhelm, stress and anxiety are affecting your life, it’s important to talk to someone.

If you would like to see if I would be a good fit for your healing process, please feel free to me.  I am currently accepting clients ages 16yrs and up.

Falmouth location & Telehealth

I practice as a therapist because I find joy in accompanying people in their unique process of healing, meaning-making and creativity in the world. I believe that the communities we relate with, our lineages and our culture can all be sites of healing and sources of wisdom and connection. Because of this, our work together is centered on deepening self-knowledge, working with grief and shame, and collaborating to identify pathways to healing, right relationship, self-love, and connections with other people and living beings. Together, we identify ways to practice moving toward more of what is desired in our life, relationships, and the world around us. I am a highly relational practitioner and I integrate practices such as mindfulness, narrative therapy, connection to spirituality and the natural world, acceptance and commitment oriented therapy, self-care, purpose alignment and community connection. 

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked doing community advocacy, transformative justice, policy change and outdoor education.  I continue to be active in the community with prisoner advocacy, ecotherapy co-learning, community equity work and interfaith spirituality. I live in Southern Maine and cherish deep connections with beloveds in my life, music, reading, cooking shows, and time outdoors in every season.
