The Road to a Better Life
In addition to master’s level graduate education, my psychotherapeutic style has been influenced by advanced training with the Tavistock Centre for Couples Relationships in London, England, and the Relationship Recovery Institute.
I am licensed by the State of Maine to provide clinical counseling and psychotherapy.
When we first meet, we will talk about the concerns that have brought you into therapy; we will move at a pace which is comfortable for you; some of my clients wish to explore these concerns gradually, and some prefer to “hit the ground running” at our first meeting.
Some people arrive at our first session carrying painful wounds; my office provides a safe environment so that those injuries receive the sensitive attention they require. We may discover that some wounds contain messages of wisdom and truth, which can be retrieved in the service of your emotional healing and recovery.
We will collaborate in working through your struggles, progressing along your own path of development, and incorporating the values of living with more creativity, intimacy, freedom, integrity, autonomy, pleasure, and joy.
You may recover strengths and personal resources which had been unavailable to you in the turmoil of the recent past. New possibilities will be imagined, to help you clarify the future that you most hope for. The healthy aspects of your personality can grow stronger and more vital, as you discover ways of living with more skill and grace.
I actively collaborate with treating physicians and psychiatrists, and facilitate referral to modalities such as yoga, nutritional counseling, massage therapy, and acupuncture. My office is located in the River Studio building in Hallowell; I encourage you to visit our building’s website: visit www.the-river-studio.com for more information.

Has a recent divorce or relationship change left you in a complicated whirlwind of emotions?
I can help you recover from the pains and losses of changing relationships, and free yourself from old habits and patterns which no longer work for you.
Are you divorced parents, caught up in a destructive maelstrom of blame and miscommunication? Are you afraid that your child will be a victim of that cross-fire?
I work with parents as they go through divorce, or during the post-divorce phase, and provide them with practical tools that assist them in becoming an effective co-parenting couple.
After you consider the information provided in this website, perhaps the best way for you to assess whether I am the best “fit” for your needs is to give me a call for a brief telephone consultation at no cost. We can also schedule an initial meeting in my office; this will give you a chance to form your own impressions of me and my approach. If we feel that a different therapist or approach might be more suitable, I’m always happy to make recommendations and referrals.
