As a licensed therapist in Maine, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional journey has been dedicated to helping people address depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions with compassionate, personalized care. I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults. I have worked with individuals struggling with social isolation, mood disorders, and control-related challenges.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding each person's unique experience. I focus on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. Through evidence-based techniques, I help individuals build resilience, improve interpersonal connections, and move toward greater emotional well-being.
I am committed to walking alongside my clients, offering guidance and support as they work through difficult experiences and discover their inner strengths. My goal is to empower individuals to create positive changes and lead more fulfilling lives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
