As a licensed therapist in Portland, Maine, I work with people to identify their goals and adapt my style based on the needs and preferences of the individual. It's important to me that people are able to work at their own pace, and choose how they would like to share information and communicate.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have experience providing support around anxiety, trauma, boundary setting, communication, body image, and self-perception. Many people come to therapy with intense guilt, fear, or are unsure where to even start. That's okay. It can also feel overwhelming to meet a new person and share everything about yourself, especially if you've done this before with previous providers- that's understandable. I provide an open, non-judgmental space to allow you to be yourself, and to build new skills and better manage difficult emotions.
Additional areas of focus: Body image, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia
