Therapists Beginning With D in Maine

I believe that working with clients involves tailoring therapy to meet the needs of each client individually. I have worked with clients experiencing co-occurring disorders, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, depression, adult life transitions, substance abuse, spirituality issues, relationship difficulties, and those who are alone without family support. Other clients I have worked with include students, adult children caring for parents, LGBTQs and refugees as they adjust to life in the U.S.

Welcome! I am a compassionate and experienced clinical social worker who approaches my work with an open heart and authenticity. When I ask clients to describe my therapeutic "style" they often mention my sense of humor, affirming nature and direct approach. I find great joy in building long-term relationships with my clients, helping them explore the depths of self and finding deeper meaning in their day to day lives. I utilize social justice, harm reduction and liberatory frameworks, and am a Heath at Every Size practitioner.

Thirty years of practice taught me that therapy can be more than empathic listening and supportive talk but an active vehicle of empowerment and change. I have combined my foundational training in structural family and narrative therapies with the depth orientation of mindful insight and the action techniques of cognitive behaviorism. Working with individuals, couples/families, we collaborate to identify the patterns that reinforce relational conflict ("structures") and the repetitive stories told and heard about personal limitations ("narratives"). Then, with our combined wisdoms, we rewrite the script(s) to include greater meaning and motivation, humor and hope, compassion and clarity.

I believe that therapy is a collaboration between therapist and client. My goal is to help you to live a full and satisfying life; through self-awareness, more flexible and creative coping skills, improved self-esteem and an increasing ability to make better decisions on your own behalf. I am able to form a therapeutic bond with a great variety of people and I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship.

So much of the stress we feel in life can come from relationships and situations that do not make sense to us. Perhaps you have a sense that “something is just not right” in those dynamics, but you cannot figure out what it is. You may notice that you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, distracted and depressed, and you feel at a loss for how to change that. My passion is working with folks who are wanting to shift those confusing dynamics and heal from the negative impact of them.

I specialize in helping people work through anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences and adjust to life changes. My goal is to help you find a way to identify and then move towards what is most important in your life. This can entail identifying obstacles that can keep us trapped in old patterns and habits that no longer serve us well, such as traumatic memories or simply negative concepts about ourselves. Entering therapy is signaling that you are ready to make significant change - whether in behaviors or thoughts - to find deeper meaning in your life.

In my work with individuals, couples, and families, I offer a safe and nurturing environment where clients are valued and supported in working toward their personal goals.
