I am a clinical social worker licensed in Maine and Massachusetts with over 16 years of experience working in a therapeutic mental health setting. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life stressors, career challenges and grief and loss. I always approach my work with a trauma informed lens.
My therapy style is friendly, warm and engaging. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral skills and person centered therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
