Welcome! I'm glad you're here. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor here in the state of Maine. I specialize in meeting with teens (13+) and adults who need a supportive space to reflect on their goals. I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety, and are looking for support with building their self-esteem. I am trained in EMDR and we can explore if this may be a helpful approach for you.
I can offer a space where you feel understood with an approach that is often described as gentle and encouraging. I work best with those ready to explore themselves more deeply and have a willingness to show up curious about your growth. As a trauma-informed therapist, I move at a pace that feels safe for you. Together, we will explore how your past experiences may impact your present, while also helping you build tools to move forward.
I keep the first session simple. I will go over my approach to sessions and more of what you can expect in counseling. I really focus on getting to know you and what your needs are in counseling.
