About me

As a licensed therapist serving Maine, I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, compassionate spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, those navigating relationship challenges, and people experiencing anxiety, trauma, and mood-related concerns.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I specialize in helping clients develop self-love, improve communication skills, address social anxiety, and work through experiences of isolation or caregiver stress. With expertise in trauma-informed care and sexuality support, I'm committed to supporting individuals as they explore personal growth and emotional healing.

I approach therapy with genuine empathy, recognizing that every person's path is different. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, build resilience, and discover your inner strengths. Together, we'll work collaboratively to help you move toward greater emotional well-being and self-understanding.

I have been working with Theresa for several months now and have really worked through a lot. I've gone through therapy in the past and haven't been able to work through things as well as I have with her.
