I have been licensed with the Maine Board of Counseling Professionals since 1993 as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). In 1998, I opened my private practice, Riverview Counseling in Scarborough, Maine, overlooking the Scarborough Marsh.
Previously, I worked as an Expressive Therapist and a Group Clinician at The Portsmouth Women's Center for Mind/Body Wellness and Portsmouth Regional Hospital's inpatient psychiatric unit and partial hospitalization program for women with a history of trauma.My focus on grief and bereavement began in 2001 after being trained to be a hospice volunteer for the former Hospice of Maine.
