I specialize in addressing a wide range of relationship and emotion-related issues including depression, anxiety, grief, and particularly trauma (childhood, sexual, race-based, combat, and other). I have experience working with adults of all ages, including LGBTQ+ populations, clients from varied racial, ethnic, and cultural identities, as well as current and former military. I’m also engaged in advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy as part of my residency at Psychology Specialists of Maine.
My practice is rooted in culturally responsive relational, psychodynamic, and attachment-based perspectives, which incorporates cognitive-behavioral and emotion-focused interventions as well. I help clients develop greater insight, self-understanding, and self-compassion by exploring the way they relate to themselves, their emotions, and others.
I feel incredibly privileged to continue that learning and growth in tandem with my clients. I see the therapy relationship as providing the safety and consistency necessary for clients to feel free to show up as their true and full selves. I make it my priority to establish strong trusting relationships using a warm, transparent, and collaborative approach.
