Couples therapists in Maine

I am a husband, a father of two adult children, and a corgi dad. I am not a true Mainer as I moved here about 4 years ago from Pennsylvania where I spent most of my life. But, I have adopted Maine as my own. I love the outdoors and spend as much time as I can in them.

As far as the more formal stuff, I spent a lot of time in school. My credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Ursinus College, a Masters of Education in Counseling from Rutgers University, an Executive Masters of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration from California Pacific University, a Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Juris Doctorate in Law all from Widener University.

I have 20+ years management experience in behavioral health, managed care, academia and private practice settings. I have run my private practice for more than 30 years, have been a program administrator, corporate compliance/privacy officer, clinical director, program chairperson, and director of quality management during my career. I have taught at more than 20 colleges and universities. I have advised, supervised, trained, and taught hundreds of graduate students and professional counselors. I have also presented at many state, regional and national conferences and provided numerous trainings to social service and criminal justice professionals.

My path into this work didn’t come from one place—it came from a deep curiosity about what truly helps people change.

Early on, I was trained to support others through talk therapy, and I saw how powerful it could be to be witnessed, understood, and held in difficult moments. But over time, I began to notice that insight alone wasn’t always enough. People could understand their patterns, yet still feel stuck.

That led me to explore the body—how we carry emotion, how we hold tension, and how healing often requires more than words. Through movement, breath, and presence, I saw people begin to shift in ways that felt more real, more lasting.

And still, something felt incomplete.

There was a deeper layer—something connected to meaning, to transition, to the parts of us that don’t always have language. As I followed that thread, I found myself drawn to ceremonial and shamanic practices that honor the unseen and help give shape to profound inner change.

The Threshold Process grew out of this journey.

It’s the integration of everything I’ve come to trust: that real transformation happens when we engage the mind, the body, and the deeper parts of ourselves—within a space that is intentional, grounded, and safe.

I provide supportive therapy to adults and adolescents who are struggling with complex trauma, depression, anxiety, codependency, OCD and relationship issues. I work to help you evaluate what thought patterns, core beliefs, and behaviors are no longer serving you and to develop tools to self-soothe, affirm yourself, set boundaries, enhance authenticity and communicate effectively.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 13 years in various roles. I have worked with individuals of all ages, stages, and experiences of the world. I especially feel equipped to work with people with substance use and chronic illnesses. Life is tough and feeling heard is tougher. My job is to support someone in reaching their goals.

I enjoy working with people who would like to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to their perceptions along with past and current experiences.

I focus my work on building a therapeutic relationship to support someone to work towards their goals.

I have been a therapist for about twenty years and have worked with children, adolescents and adults. I most often work with clients that have anxiety, depression, adhd, mood disorders, and history of trauma.

I view therapy as an opportunity to give yourself the time and space to discover how to heal, and how you want to continue to grow.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individual adults who are seeking support with past and present trauma, depression, anxiety and worry, cultural and identity issues, relationship issues, grief and loss, social-emotional issues, and family conflict.
