Cold River Counseling
Clarity. Connection. Growth.
You are more than what you are going through
Life can leave us feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. At Cold River Counseling, I believe healing begins with connection. Together, we’ll slow down, make sense of your experiences, and create space for meaningful change.

Remote therapy, to meet you where you are at
Licensed in Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut, I am ready to work with you, and meet you where you are at.
A Place for Every Part of Your Story
I am committed to providing care that is inclusive, affirming, and respectful of every person’s identity and lived experience. You deserve a space where you can be honest, feel safe, and grow at your own pace.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. You only need a place to start.
At Cold River Counseling, I am here to walk alongside you—with compassion, curiosity, and the belief that change is possible.
