After completing degrees in Psychology and Counseling at the University of Vermont and Springfield College I launched my professional career in Massachusetts as a social worker in the Department of Social Services and a court-appointed Guardian Ad Litem. I relocated to Southern Maine, where I accepted a position as a psychiatric social worker and counselor in the Department of Corrections. I then transitioned into private practice, which I have maintained in the Greater Portland area for over 25 years.

My areas of professional expertise include helping adults with concerns such as depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, stress management, and overall wellbeing. In addition to my clinical work with individuals and couples, I have extensive experience conducting presentations and workshops in Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I have completed advanced training in an innovative treatment option for couples called Discernment Counseling — an innovative short-term option for anyone who is considering separation or divorce. Unlike traditional couples therapy, discernment counseling is a short-term process (1-5 sessions) designed to help you as a couple decide what is best for you and your family.

My process is interactive and collaborative, striving to guide and support clients on their own journey. Please feel free to contact me to discuss how we might work together.
