“Anchored in my belief that every person is unique and deserves to live a full and happy life, my mission is to help people discover the solution that produces balance in their life.”
My professional background includes over 25 years building trusting relationships at home and abroad in my corporate and consulting careers, and most recently in the helping profession. My office is in Sanford, off Main Street and easily accessible from Rt. 202, Rt. 9 or Rt. 4.
Helping people is my passion. I genuinely enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families develop life-changing habits to help them cope with many of life’s various obstacles. I recommend using family systems therapy and mindfulness-CBT in session. I’ve seen how this integration of theories can promote calm and healing; it’s an approach I’m very enthusiastic about. My method of helping people is safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I empower my clients to create long-lasting change.
