Practical Therapy for Life in Maine

Splitting your week between meetings downtown and walks on the Eastern Prom? Therapy has to fit real life in Portland. 

If you’re searching for a therapist in Portland, ME or a therapist in Maine who’s warm, direct, and practical, you’re in the right place. 

I offer online therapy for adults throughout Maine. Including support for anxiety, trauma, EMDR, and addiction and substance recovery so you can get help from home, work, or while traveling or on vacation in Maine.

What brings you here?

Maybe your brain won’t shut off. Maybe you’re carrying something that still shows up in your body, your sleep, or your relationships. Triggers catch you off guard. You feel on edge or numb. 

You’ve talked about it, you’ve tried to cope, and you’re still feeling stuck. You want healing and relief that lasts, and a way forward that feels steady and doable.

As a therapist, this is how I help adults in Maine

I help you feel steadier in the present and less controlled by what’s been weighing you down. 

That might look like learning practical tools for anxiety and overthinking, building confidence when self-doubt shows up, or getting support for recovery when you’re trying to stop the cycle of “never again.” 

If past trauma and events are triggering you, I can also use trauma-focused therapy, including EMDR when it’s a fit, to help stuck memories lose their charge.

You don’t have to do this perfectly. I’ll meet you where you are, keep the work grounded and nonjudgmental, and help you so change shows up in real life.

Sessions are online, private, and easy to fit around your life in Portland, Gorham, Cumberland, Falmouth, Yarmouth, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, and beyond
