A Premium Counseling Experience for Clients Seeking Real and
My practice offers specialty, cash-pay mental health care in Maine that allows for deeper work, greater privacy, and personalized attention.
- Most insurance-based therapy is limited by short sessions, diagnosis requirements, and rushed treatment plans.
Clients seek me out when they want:
- Trauma therapy in Maine that integrates mind, body, and narrative
- Family and parent counseling that creates real change at home
- Experiential therapy for children and teens who don’t respond to talk therapy
- Depth-oriented therapy for high-functioning adults
- Empowering insights for professionals, educators, and leaders
- A therapist with 30 years of advanced clinical experience
My approach combines trauma-informed practice, experiential learning, family systems work, attachment theory, and depth psychology, offering a unique type of counseling that is difficult to find elsewhere in Maine.
Trauma Therapy and Experiential Counseling in Maine
As a trauma therapist in Maine, I integrate:
- Experiential learning (Kolb’s model)
- Nervous system regulation
- Attachment-based approaches
- Narrative and identity work
- Existential and depth psychology
- Creative and expressive interventions
- Trauma stabilization and recovery skills
This multimodal approach helps clients heal trauma, improve emotional regulation, understand patterns, and make lasting changes at every level — cognitive, emotional, behavioral, relational, and neurological.
Family Therapy and Parent Education in Maine
Families often come to me because they want more than traditional family counseling can offer. I provide:
- Family therapy for conflict, communication, and relational repair
- Parent coaching in Maine grounded in developmental science
- Support for “complex kids” and teens with emotional or behavioral challenges integrating applied behavioral analysis.
- Executive function skills for adolescents
- Attachment and connection-focused interventions

Home-Based, By Design and via-telehealth
- This work is especially powerful for families who have tried other therapists without meaningful progress.

- Identity work and life transitions
- High-functioning anxiety
- Relationship and attachment issues
- Burnout and professional stress
- Meaning, purpose, and personal transformation
- Trauma recovery for adults
My work is especially well-suited to professionals, clinicians, educators, and leaders seeking private, discreet, cash-pay therapy in Maine.

Children and adolescents often struggle to engage with talk therapy. Experiential work creates movement, safety, and expression. I offer:
- Narrative work
- Creative and somatic strategies
- Emotional regulation skills
- Identity development
- Parent partnering
- Executive functioning coaching
This is ideal for kids and teens dealing with anxiety, trauma, school stress, transitions, or family conflict.
