About
I work with people (18+) with concerns related to anxiety/stress, depression/low self-esteem, and health. I work with people when worry and stress interfere with their ability to work, have meaningful relationships, or carry out daily routines. I see clients with depressed mood and low self-esteem who have difficulty prioritizing their own wants and needs and consequently feel powerless, unfulfilled and dissatisfied with life. I also work with clients with health related concerns, emotional eating and poor body image. I use research-based therapies including CBT, ACT and MBCT. Clients learn how to engage with painful life experiences using mindfulness and present-centered awareness, and move toward real behavior change, to develop self-compassion and increase psychological flexibility. When appropriate, I collaborate with clients' health providers to optimize care. I earned my doctoral degree from the University of Maine in Orono and a BA from Colby College in Waterville, ME. My training included a one-year predoctoral internship and three-year postdoctoral research fellowship at Brown Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island.
