Reaching out for help is the first step in taking back control, breaking the cycle, and becoming empowered. It takes strength and courage to say "I want better...I deserve better." That journey begins here. While life can present difficulties, hardships, and uncertainty, there is resilience in you - that ability to adapt, bounce back, and overcome. Depending on what you have been through, that resilience might feel buried or unreachable. We will find it, strengthen it, and utilize it to break down barriers. Together. My counseling style is best described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I am here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I am licensed as a clinical professional counselor, alcohol and drug counselor, certified clinical trauma professional, and a certified clinical supervisor. My speciality is helping individuals with a wide range of mental health disorders (anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and fears/phobias), substance use disorders (early and long-term recovery, relapse prevention, and those affected by substance use disorders), and personal growth (self-esteem, relationship issues, burnout, communication, and parenting). I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. PLEASE NOTE: I am only able to accept individuals residing in the state of Maine.
