I am licensed in Maine as a clinical professional counselor, and I am also a certified clinical supervisor. I work with adult individuals (ages 18+) on substance use disorders, mental health issues like anxiety and depression, and difficulties in work or relationships. My style as a clinician draws upon clients’ own intuition, sense of meaning, and humor. My work is trauma-informed, though I am not a trauma specialist. I focus on clarifying problems, identifying motivations, and helping clients move from thinking to doing.
Prospective clients are asked to complete a brief, free consultation by phone prior to scheduling an intake. This consultation is to assess your needs and goals for treatment, and whether I would be suitable as your provider. If we decide to proceed, we will next schedule an initial intake session. If your needs would not be well-served in outpatient treatment with me, I will suggest alternative options.
I prefer to see clients in person, but can offer telehealth for existing clients in limited circumstances.
