With multiple clinicians and areas of expertise, we are able to offer comprehensive, specialized services for adults, children, adolescents, couples and families.

A listening ear and a tailored approach can help to gain perspective in times of uncertainty. Whether it be due to depression, anxiety, trauma or some of the many changes throughout life, I can provide you with the tools and guidance to help you move forward with confidence and purpose.

The phrase, one size fits all, shouldn't apply when it comes to choosing a therapist. A good "fit" is the key to a productive and rewarding therapy experience. Many of my clients have commented on how quickly and easily they're able to talk, and not feel judged. My life experience has allowed me to see the importance of empathy and compassion - judging others is something I cannot afford to do.

Seeking out help for a problem that you can’t solve on your own is one of life’s more difficult – and brave – first steps. In my capacity as a clinical psychologist, I have witnessed so many people make transformational changes in overcoming depression, trauma, anxiety, and the problems that arise from both personal history and current difficulties. By tailoring the way I work to meet your specific and unique needs, we can, together, work toward both healing and expanding emergent capacities for positive change.

Neuropsychological testing aims to evaluate cognitive and emotional functioning, provide appropriate diagnoses, and most importantly, to provide recommendations for further treatment. I believe strongly in helping individuals better understand themselves through identifying their strengths and providing them with individualized treatment recommendations based on their unique needs.

Do you long for greater fulfillment in your personal relationships or at work? Are you considering a career change? Do you want to apply your professional skills and strengths in more rewarding and competitive ways?  The focus of my counseling is on the Transitions - planned and unplanned, that we encounter in life. 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.

When looking for a therapist to help listen, process and sort through so many of life's varying worries, concerns, and obstacles that we experience on a daily basis, whether immediate or long term, it is all about finding the right fit and developing a trusting relationship. Empathy, understanding, and the ability to listen with open ears are what I strive to provide to you and your family in your time of need. I approach you and your family as individuals while believing that you all exist within a large system made up of many moving parts that need to be included and considered as part of your healing and rebuilding process.

I can see any client in Maine and NH via teletherapy but I am not credentialed with insurance companies in Maine, only NH. I help guide my clients to understand how their upbringing, worldview, culture, personality, and view of self affect how they are feeling, behaving, and thinking currently. One goal of mine is to help my clients maximize their wellbeing by better understanding themselves through the use of coping tools like mindfulness to slow and calm themselves enough to be able to assess their own thoughts and emotions in the moment so as to minimize regrets while reducing mood and behavioral symptoms.
