New Support Group for Anxiety
Calm Within: Mind Training and Meditation for Anxiety and Stress Reduction
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress? Join us in Rockland, Maine, for a supportive group experience designed to help you cultivate acceptance, address anxious thoughts, and explore the Zen practice of “don’t-know mind” to navigate uncertainty.
Are you struggling with anxiety and disturbing emotions?
Individual Therapy
Life's uncertainties can be challenging, leading to unhelpful stories we tell ourselves that make us feel out of control. I'm here to help you understand and manage your anxiety, guiding you towards a new narrative rooted in mindfulness, compassion, emotion-focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques.
In our sessions, whether in-person at my office in Rockland or via telehealth, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your experiences and discover new ways of relating to anxiety. Regular compassion and loving-kindness exercises are integrated into the therapy. These practices help you to develop a sense of interconnectedness, empathy, and emotional resilience. We will work together to develop practical coping strategies and tools tailored to your unique needs.
Together, we will navigate the path towards self-acceptance and emotional well-being.
Ready to take the first step towards relief? Call or message me now to schedule your free 15-minute consultation now and let's embark on this transformative journey together.
Couples Counseling
Relationships often encounter complex challenges and the stories we create around them can deepen these struggles. My approach, rooted in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), is dedicated to understanding the unique dynamics of each couple and helping partners connect on a deeper emotional level.
In our sessions, I focus on facilitating open communication, enabling you and your partner to clearly express and understand each other’s needs. My goal is to support you in navigating the complexities of your relationship, working together to enhance connection and emotional well-being.
It would be an honor to guide you and your partner towards a more enriched and fulfilling relationship.
