Welcome. I am a psychotherapist and perinatal counselor in private practice in Portland, Maine. I have years of experience working with adults across different settings and with a variety of different concerns. I have always been drawn to working with individuals who are going through stressful life circumstances and transitions. I utilize a collaborative and strengths-based approach to therapy, incorporate various forms of psychotherapy into practice, and am mindful that every individual is unique.
Working together with me is partnering with me. I offer a comfortable and safe space, a sense of humor, and a tailored approach to therapy that will incorporate your goals and insight. I strongly believe that one of the key elements to therapeutic growth is developing a strong and trusting connection.
Before starting private practice in Portland, I worked in quite a few settings, including healthcare, OBGYN, substance abuse recovery, and most recently providing therapy to people from many backgrounds and cultures while living overseas in Europe. I’ve settled back into the Portland area with my partner and two children and provide both in-person in Deering Center and virtually Monday - Friday. from 9am-3pm.
