Top Maine therapists who accept Harvard Pilgrim Health Care

I am a LCSW with over 15 years of experience counseling and life coaching. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, anger issues, career challenges, grief, and many other challenging issues. I have also helped many people who have experienced diverse types of traumas. My therapy style is warm and compassionate, but direct and honest. I provide a holistic perspective, am interactive and empathetic. I will give you an opportunity to be transparent while providing safety and sensitivity. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes great courage to seek a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working with you!

I primarily use CBT and Psychodynamic theory when working with clients. I believe in being very direct and blunt with clients as this will help them grow. I don't beat around the bush or allow clients to get away with self-deception and confront their irrational and dysfunctional belief systems. I am comfortable treating a variety of symptoms and conditions. I believe in creating a safe space for clients to express themselves however they need to. This encourages growth and trust in the therapeutic alliance. I encourage clients to set the goals they want to reach. This is their process. Wherever they want to go, I will help them get there. I tell my clients I am the car. They are the driver. We go to the destination they determine. The first session with me is information gathering so I will be asking a lot of questions and they will be doing most of the talking.

I have worked with individuals with ADHD and anxious thinkers for over a decade. I take a strengths-based approach to learning how to work with your brain instead of against it. While working with me, you will learn practical skills to help you increase your self-confidence.

I am an empathic, compassionate, and genuinely invested clinician who wants to empower you to regain a sense of well-being. My goal will be to create a solid therapeutic relationship by providing a supportive, direct, nonjudgmental environment with bits of humor mixed in when we can. Not only will you be able to talk about what's bothering you, but it's also important to know what to do about it! I will help you manage your stressors by teaching coping skills and relaxation techniques that are individualized and using evidence-based approaches. ​ I am a Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience working with clients, ranging from adolescents to adults. I have a Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) from Rutgers University and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
