You are enough, and you can become more and more fulfilled. But if you have had painful experiences, that doesn’t feel true. It feels impossible. I want to collaborate with you to re-imagine your story. The next chapter of your life can be about transforming your past into learning how to move forward. You can create your own authentic narrative. In this story, you can have compassion and opportunity.

Hello! Thank you for considering me as your psychologist. I am taking new patients for both therapy and psychological evaluations. I am accepting virtual therapy patients throughout the state of Maine and in-person patients at my office in Blue Hill for therapy and evaluations. I utilize a variety of approaches based on patient needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, exposure-based interventions, solution-focused approaches and trauma-informed treatment. I believe it is important to treat the whole person and not just the diagnosis, so we will also explore factors related to overall well-being.

Do you suspect that you or a loved one is on the autism spectrum? I can help you in exploring this question and considering its personal, vocational, and family implications. I specialize in working with older adults who are diagnosed or seek diagnosis. I also work with teens and children/families. I can help communication between autistics and "neuro-typicals." I am active in an adult autistic peer support network and can help you connect with other autistics for support if you wish to do so.

It is a nightmare: you don’t want to sleep, nor do you want to wake up. You go through the day feeling numb, empty and hopeless. Your world has turned upside down! Losing a loved one or hearing the words “you have a life-threatening illness” makes you want to scream, run away or curl up into a ball. “How can this be happening to me” You yearn for the world you once knew, one that was predictable, familiar and comfortable. You want to embrace the day, not dread it. Is it ever going to be possible to laugh, smile and be you again?

I work with people dealing with the struggles that come from living and growing. Many of my clients are dealing with life transitions, relationship problems, grief, stress, anxiety or trauma. They may have noticed patterns in their life they want to change. All of them want to feel better, to function better, and to understand themselves better. You do not need a diagnosis to work with me. However, if you have been diagnosed with a mental health issue, or are interested in being diagnosed, we can work together to identify and understand your struggles. You will create the goals that define the work we do together.

For many of us, 2020 was a catalyst year starting with the pandemic, political conflict, grief and loss issues across the nation. It was a collective impact. For so many individuals, including myself, lives were uprooted, and the adjustment period was difficult and disconcerting as nothing seemed familiar anymore. Many have been dealing with relationships and marriages ending, loss of jobs, loss of homes, losing loved ones who have passed on, physical health deteriorating and so much more. Old traumas seemed to have resurfaced, depression/anxiety increasing, loneliness, and finding balance or a sense of self seems to evade us.

Hello, my practice is full at this time and I am not accepting new clients. I use Body-Centered Psychotherapy as an approach to holistic healing. I work with young adults through older adult during/throughout life transitions. My back ground in dance/movement therapy and creative arts enables me to use techniques that help balance and integrate emotional, cognitive, social, and physical well being. I am also trained in mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Prenatal and postpartum women as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and substance abuse can greatly benefit from my partnership.

Current client openings. I like thinking about therapy as an expedition. Pretend you decide to row across the Atlantic, for instance. What a brave goal! Something draws you to it, despite your fear. You know you will encounter both the dark, turbulent nights as well as the calm, colorful days. To do this safely, you decide you could use a companion, a fellow-traveler. More than anything, you want poised connection with self, nature and other; a growing of your edges, and certainly the healing that follows naturally in its wake.

My approach to therapy is depth-oriented, collaborative, and attuned to embodied experience. Bringing attention to both present experience and past dynamics, we will work together to become more aware of the stories and values that shape your sense of self and inform your symptoms. We aim to create a sturdy container for deepening your capacity to lean with curiosity into discomfort, difference, and the unknown as it shows up in your life. To support this process, I draw on psychoanalytic and emotion-focused training, mindfulness practices, and somatically engaged Jungian dreamwork.
