About Cary

I’m a licensed therapist with 25 years of clinical experience, In addition I was an associate professor of social work at the University of Maine for several years. I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate life transitions, mood challenges, and interpersonal dynamics. I have deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, grief, substance misuse, and the nuanced emotional experiences, young adulthood, midlife, and aging.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate and holistic, recognizing that each person’s journey is unique. I offer supportive guidance for individuals facing challenges like caregiver stress, family dynamics, relationship transitions, and personal growth. Whether you’re struggling with isolation, seeking life purpose, or working through difficult emotions like guilt and shame, I’m committed to creating a safe, understanding environment for your healing process.

I bring extensive clinical experience and a genuine dedication to supporting individuals through their most profound emotional transformations. My goal is to help you develop resilience, find meaning, and move toward greater emotional well-being.
