Connect with Dialectical (DBT) therapy in South Portland, ME

My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing the impact of past experiences on present challenges. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where you can show up just as you are. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you in order to build an environment that fosters safety, empowerment, and sustainable emotional well-being.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself.

My goal is to bring a wide range of therapeutic approaches to capitalize on your strengths and hope. I work with people navigating mental illness, trauma, and the challenges that come with everyday life, validating and affirming your experiences.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or emotionally drained? Whether you're battling mental health challenges, navigating life changes, or trying to find balance, you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to help you work through your struggles, learn coping strategies, and embark on a journey towards healing and growth.

Have you been coping with depression, grief, and anxiety? Through compassionate communication and interventions based on psychodynamic theory, ACT, psychodrama, and play therapy techniques, we will decide on the right treatment plan to explore what's holding you back from living authentically. I am gender affirming and polyamory affirming.

I use strength-based, client-centered treatment goals as the foundation of my work. I truly believe that clients “know” what they need to heal, and I am honored to facilitate that discovery. At its core, my job is to help clients identify internal and external resources and successful paths to more functional and fulfilling lives.

I'm licensed to practice in Florida and Maine. I have a holistic, client-centered approach to care in my practice. My focus is on gender issues, those with PTSD, trauma, adolescents, teens, and family issues.

I recognize it takes courage to seek therapy. If you're ready to make a positive change, I'm here to support you with compassion, curiosity, and deep listening. I help people move through grief, loss, family dynamics, illness, and stress with greater awareness and understanding.

My approach views you as the expert in your life experience. My role is to listen and see you, validating your authentic self. I specialize in trauma-sensitive practices that honor your unique story.

I believe that every individual needs a space in which to be ‘heard.’ With all of the noise, distractions, and overstimulation in the world around us, it’s easy to feel unnoticed and unimportant. Being that we are all unique and important, we deserve to have the opportunity to grow and thrive in our own lives, in our own way.

A counselor can be that person who is non-judgmental, an objective listener, and is there to help support and guide you to the goals you're hoping to achieve. I work with adolescents, families, and young adults. My purpose is to be a safe, compassionate, responsible, and supportive individual for you.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? My goal is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental space to express yourself and gain new insights and skills that can help you navigate the challenges of daily life, life transitions, and other past and present experiences that are preventing you from living the life you want to live.

My approach to therapy is very client-driven and eclectic. I often employ CBT and evidence-based practices but sometimes clients need empathic listening and lots of rapport building before we can get to CBT. I like to think that I do what works for each client in the moment and respond to feedback about what works for you.

My goal is to provide you with tools to enhance the potential you already possess. My style is to be direct and encouraging while allowing you to choose what your priority is.

I'm really glad you're here. Taking the step to reach out for support is a brave decision, and I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. My approach is warm and client-centered, where we work together to tailor each session to your individual needs and goals.
