"Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed."
I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in Maine with over 10 years of experience working as a clinical therapist. I have worked with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, trauma, and chronic mood disorders.
My counseling style is interactive and reflective. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, without stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
If you choose to reach out, thank you and I will choose to join you in the journey that has been created for you, by others or due to individual moments in time.
