Psychotherapy for Anxiety, Depression, Life Chapters and Changes

Support and somatic tools to help soothe stressed nervous systems.

Offerings

With more than two decades of experience, I currently meet with clients in person at my office in Brunswick and virtually throughout Southern Maine and the San Francisco Bay Area of California. I offer more time-limited therapy for situational stressors and longer-term options for clients who may benefit from therapy at a more gradual pace. My practice focuses primarily on women’s mental health and wellness (18 to 80+), including support for depression, relational and general anxiety, perinatal/peripartum needs, mid-life and perimenopausal adjustments and re-evaluation. I also welcome individuals who identify as being highly sensitive (HSP).

How I Can Help

My clinical approach blends talk therapy and mind-body awareness and techniques, drawing from the fields of mindfulness and mindful self-compassion, neuroscience, nervous system understanding, somatic therapy, and research on well-being and resilience. The following are just some of the areas we might focus on in our work together:

  • Better understand and respond to the needs and signals of your nervous system

  • Develop practices, or incorporate therapeutic (music) listening, to feel more grounded, present, and connected

  • Tend to your HSP/sensitivity-related needs, preferences, and boundaries

  • Deepen your capacity for rest and rejuvenation

  • Lessen painful or emotionally-charged memories or stuck patterns

  • Explore and connect with inner strengths and resources

  • Build healthy habits for overall emotional well-being

  • Feel more like yourself again
