Family Therapy in Alfred, ME

Compassionate Curiosity is the Cure. This is the simple and straightforward explanation of my philosophy and approach to psychotherapy. My primary model for treatment is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, a classic model of treatment that focuses on reshaping core beliefs about self and others that often have deep and complex roots. I am a serious person by nature and take my work very seriously. Patients can expect challenging questions, thoughtfulness, and strong focus on getting to the bottom of unproductive thought patterns and habits (Curiosity), but with humor and caring (Compassion).

Hello! If you are reading this and looking for help you are right where you need to be :) I like to think of myself as an "UNshrink" . I believe in helping to de-pathologize you and whatever it is that you are struggling w, and helping you to experience your self, situation, and LIFE in a whole new way. I'm usually a good fit for ppl that aren't into traditional "therapy" for whatever reason: anxiety, skepticism, bad or unsuccessful past experiences, if you think you, your family, everything is/are beyond hope, or if you are interested in something completely "outside the box", bc that is me.

I have been helping people for over 20 years in the healthcare field and I have extensive experience diagnosing and treating mental illness and substance abuse in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have extensive experience using multiple therapeutic modalities and I use several to create a unique and personalized treatment plan. At my practice, you will be treated individually, as a person(s) and not as a dollar sign or your illness. I enjoy treating patients of all ages. I welcome you to my practice where you will have a different experience and I look forward to working with you.

Welcome! I am honored to have the opportunity to work with you at my practice. I offer telehealth individual therapy appointments to adults in New Hampshire and Maine. I provide a safe and non judgmental space to assist individuals in exploring and increasing self worth, self empowerment, and creating a healthy routine. I believe in using a strengths based approach to encourage finding joy and gratitude. If you find yourself feeling consumed by the past, disconnected from the present, or anxious about the future, I will support you in rediscovering connection to yourself and others in sustainable and healthy ways.

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.

Have you ever wondered which experiences in your life most affect how you feel, relate, and react? If the word "relationships" comes to mind, then we should talk. My specializations and work have centered around relationships- your partners, your children, family, and perhaps neighbors. I use humor, evidence-based practices and solution-focused approaches to tailor our time together to unravel relational mysteries. Whether through individual, couples, or family counseling, I can help you adapt to life changes, identify the role of relational wounds and increase understanding of the relationships in our lives.

I strongly believe that the quality of the relationship a person has with their therapist is the most important factor for successful therapy. When we begin our work together, you will find that I am open-minded, non-judgmental, compassionate, and understanding. My work is holistic in nature, as I believe that all aspects of our lives have a huge impact on the way that we feel and how we function in the world. With guidance, coaching, and support, we will work together to help you to attain your goals and create a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Most people who visit a therapist know that there is something they want to change, but they may not know how.

I believe we are all put here to fulfil the plans and purpose the Lord has for our lives. Sometimes along the way, we can get a little derailed or just not know how to quantify that.

These may involve life changes, education, career, or health matters, among other things. I can help you identify and build on your strengths and resilience for greater success and happiness as you move forward in your relationships.

I believe that the most important indicator of success in therapy is ensuring that clients feel heard, respected, and that they have the space to discuss whatever they wish. I work to build a foundation of trust and believe that a collaborative approach in therapy is key. My approach is collaborative, providing guidance and gentle challenges to the client when therapeutically necessary. I am comfortable using a variety of treatment modalities (CBT, DBT, etc.) as well as mediums (talk therapy, art therapy, movement therapy, pet therapy, etc.) that best suit each client.

My ideal client is a seeker, someone who is working on themselves to become more self-aware, or perhaps trying to understand the craziness of the world. They may be experiencing "spiritual emergencies," NDE's, having out of body experiences or psychic episodes. Most of their issues go beyond day to day problems. They may also have the desire to find the "root" cause of their health problems, and/or attempting to heal/bring their body into balance.
