ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Maine

A few things about me outside of therapy: I have three children, so I understand that life can be beautifully chaotic. I’m a real person, not a therapist robot. I’ll bring authenticity into our work together.

I work with adolescents and adults across a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship and family challenges, grief, and major life transitions. Most importantly, you don’t have to impress me. You don’t have to have the perfect answers or know exactly what you want to say. Therapy can be a place to better understand what you’re experiencing, recognize patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop healthier ways to move forward. Come as you are, and we’ll navigate the hard stuff together.

We believe that healing, wholeness, and true peace are possible at every stage of life. Life can bring seasons of transition, uncertainty, loss, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and questions about who we are and where we are going. You do not have to navigate those seasons alone.

As a nonprofit organization, our mission is to bring hope, joy, and healing to our neighbors. Through counseling, we come alongside individuals and families with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person's unique story. We create a space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, understand how the past and present shape your life, and discover new ways of moving forward.

I practice affirming, allied, feminist therapy rooted in empowerment and strengths perspectives. I acknowledge that late-stage capitalism is an implicit factor in functioning. I believe sleep, calories, and movement form the foundation for coping.

I’m a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health. I trained at Goddard College, earned my doctorate in public health from Tulane University, and am licensed to practice in both Maine and Vermont.

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My approach is grounded in an existential perspective, which means I help clients explore questions of meaning, identity, connection, and how their environments shape their wellbeing. I believe that even healthy people can become symptomatic in unhealthy environments, and I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, build insight, and move toward lives that feel more authentic and sustainable.

My goal is to offer a thoughtful, supportive space where clients can reflect, heal, and make meaningful change.

I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and respected. After decades as a clinician, I continue to feel honored by the trust people place in me as they work through difficult seasons and move toward greater peace, clarity, and self-understanding. My first master’s degree was in alcohol and other drug counseling, and I hold both state and national certifications. Over the years, I have developed particular experience supporting people navigating chemical dependency, veterans living with PTSD, and women who have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. These experiences have deepened my belief that healing is possible, and that therapy should be compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in each person’s unique story.

My passion and area of expertise lie in supporting children and teens through challenging transitions and the stresses of everyday life. I started my mental health career in 2012 as a behavioral health professional supporting children and families in their homes and communities. From 2015 to 2022 I held several positions in residential treatment including direct support provider, clinical case manager, and program clinician. I spent two years working as a middle school social worker helping students develop social-emotional skills and advocating for their educational needs. Since then I have been providing outpatient counseling through a community-based health center to individuals of all ages.
