In-Person in Portland, ME
What makes therapy most successful is not necessarily the technique; it is the relationship that is shared between the clinician and client. I believe growth happens in a space where you feel seen and never judged. You are a whole person, rather than a diagnosis. The foundation of my practice is warm, collaborative care. Just a willingness to be curious together is more than enough to get started. There is never a timeline that we need to rush to meet. Our steady, collaborative process can help you to find your way back to hope, one step at a time.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
