About me

I am licensed in the State of Maine as a LCSW. I have a BA in Psychology from the University of Maine and a Masters in Clinical Social Work from Boston University. I have been in practice since 2006. I have worked in hospital settings, outpatient practice, community agencies, and school settings.

My primary therapy approach is person centered and that a strong therapeutic relationship is key for growth and achievement of treatment goals. Therapy should be an authentic experience in which the client is heard and valued. I approach therapeutic relationships with care, empathy, and gentle directiveness. I believe that true change and growth must happen from the inside out and is guided by the client.

I have the most experience working with clients managing depression and anxiety, also change of life circumstances such as divorce, parenting, moving, ect. I use theories and techniques derived from mindfulness, expressive therapy, and DBT. Treatment is built on what best suits the client to help them reach their goals.

She’s very smart and always has a compassionate tone. She humanizes therapy, it’s not me verse the therapist. It’s just two people talking trying to work through things together.
