New to Grow
I’m a Maine‑based therapist who brings a calm, grounded, plainspoken style to the work. I blend Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution‑Focused strategies, Motivational Interviewing, Jungian insight, and mindfulness. Clients describe me as steady, practical, and easy to talk with. My own life experience with resilience and rebuilding helps me guide people toward clarity, confidence, and meaningful change in a down‑to‑earth way.
In our first session, you can expect a calm, steady, down‑to‑earth conversation. I’ll ask practical questions to understand what’s bringing you in, what’s been hard, and what you hope will change. We’ll explore strengths, patterns, and immediate needs using Solution‑Focused, MI, Jungian, and mindfulness approaches. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction, support, and what our work together can look like.
I bring a steady, practical, Maine‑plainspoken style to every session. My strengths come from years of clinical work and real life experiences with resilience, rebuilding, and navigating hard transitions. That gives me a grounded way of understanding people’s struggles without judgment. I hold space calmly when someone needs room to breathe, but I’ll challenge gently and directly when it helps you grow, shift, or see yourself more clearly.
My ideal client is navigating a transition, rebuilding after loss, searching for new meaning, or feeling stuck in patterns they’re ready to shift. They want therapy that’s practical, common sense, and collaborative. They appreciate clear questions, gentle challenge, and a grounded Maine style. They come ready to explore strengths, make meaning, and create real change without jargon, judgment, or pressure.

I identify as
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use a solution‑focused, steady, down‑to‑earth Maine approach in my work. Instead of digging endlessly into what’s wrong, we look at what’s working, what you want your life to feel like, and the small, practical steps that can get you there. I help you notice your strengths, build on them, and make changes that fit your real day‑to‑day life. Therapy with me is straightforward, collaborative, and grounded — no jargon, no fluff, just clear direction and support.

Jungian
My Jungian work is simple, clear, and down‑to‑earth. We pay attention to the deeper layers of your experience — the recurring themes in your relationships, the parts of yourself you’ve had to set aside, and the inner voice that’s trying to guide you. Sometimes this shows up in dreams, images, or symbols; sometimes it’s just a gut sense that something in your life needs to shift. Together, we explore these patterns in a steady, practical way, looking at how they connect to your everyday life and the changes you want to make. The goal is to help you feel more whole, more grounded, and more aligned with who you really are.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
My mindfulness‑based work is practical and down‑to‑earth. We focus on helping you notice your thoughts, emotions, and physical cues without getting swept away by them. This might mean learning how to pause before reacting, how to sit with discomfort without spiraling, or how to reconnect with your body when stress takes over. I use simple, accessible practices — nothing fancy or overly “zen.” The goal is to help you feel more present, more steady, and more able to handle what life throws at you. Mindfulness becomes a tool you can use anywhere: at home, at work, or in the middle of a tough moment.
