Therapy to Help People Rise From Darkness,
Therapy to Help People Shine Bright.
Because life isn’t meant to be lived in the dark.
Providing virtual therapy in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Florida.
Almost everyone I work with starts in the same place:
unsure about therapy
That makes sense. Beginning counseling can feel intimidating, especially if past attempts to “talk it out” haven’t led to real change. If you feel stuck in familiar patterns—either in your relationship or within yourself—it may be time to try something different.
I offer clarity. When familiar patterns persist—clarity is often the missing piece. The primary goal of therapy is to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface so meaningful change can occur.
In our work together, we’ll identify and shift unhelpful cycles, strengthen communication skills and build practical therapeutic tools to reduce symptoms and improve emotional regulation.
Whether you’re seeking couples counseling or individual therapy, the goal is the same: greater insight, resilience, and connection—with your partner or with yourself.

I'm committed to not pathologizing people (you are not broken), but some of the concerns I work with the most are:
Primarily couples stuck in unskillful patterns, struggling with infidelity, or parenting.
Men who would like to grow in their capacity for intimacy and bettering communication with their partners.
Women dealing with anxiety due to overwhelming life demands like balancing a career and motherhood.

The Rising Sun Counseling is based out of Portland, Maine.
My varied licenses, however, allow me to practice therapy online across Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Florida. Telehealth sessions allow for a continuity of care.
Online therapy allows me to meet with moms while they are nursing, busy professionals on lunch break, and students between classes. No more excuses! 🙂
