As an experienced licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and an author of a series of self-help books, I am passionate about providing a supportive, encouraging environment for you to grow and learn more about yourself. I will do my very best to make sure you feel seen, heard and understood. My concierge therapy practice is focused exclusively on working with adults who live in Maine or Texas, the two states in which I am licensed. I look forward to talking with you.
Not everyone is surrounded by a great emotional support system of family, friends and co-workers. And fewer still have a tool bag full of skills to manage the good, the bad and the ugly that life will inevitably throw at you.
You may be exploring therapy:
- because of a specific issue, for example, a death in the family
- during a time of ongoing high conflict, for example, going through a divorce
- when life feels overwhelming, for example, when you feel financially, physically and emotionally stretched beyond your limit
By using an evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, therapy can help you identify and reshape the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are negatively affecting your moods, your career and your relationships with others.
With your active participation in therapy, I can help you:
- live your best life with less effort, exhaustion and stress
- greet every day with anticipation and excitement
- go to bed every night feeling satisfied and fulfilled
In recent years I have moved away from a medical or disease model of therapy to a concierge model of therapy. I firmly believe that feeling anxious or depressed about a crisis in your life doesn’t make you “sick” or require a mental health diagnosis. Concierge therapy is:
- discrete and highly confidential
- personalized
- flexible with
- direct access to your provider
