Therapists in Rhode Island

I am an integrative therapist with over 20 years of diverse experience and am passionate about what I do! My specialties are working with Women's issues, Anxiety/Depression, ADHD, OCD, adolescents, couples work, trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorders, foster care/adoption, as well as self-exploration. We all go through struggles on our journey, and reaching out for unbiased and non-judgmental support can be extremely beneficial and takes great inner strength. I utilize a whole person eclectic approach, incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and an interactive relaxed style.

You have probably been wondering about getting some help for some time. You have some worries that just aren't going away, are harder to manage, and your life, in general, is getting away from you. You are miserable and the things you have been doing to cope all this time aren't working any more. If you are a parent, your child is getting older, their school may be calling you more, and you just don't know where to turn. You have the motivation to improve your life but the way forward is not clear and you can't handle moving backwards anymore.

I see the family-centered approach as a critical component to recovery and healing for any individual struggling with mental health, traumatic experience or loss, as well as physical, developmental, or learning challenges. I work with families of any size and constellation, and I consider couples to be families. I work with married couples, cohabitating couples, LGBTQ+ couples, elderly couples, families with young or adult children, adoptive families, family members across one or more generations, families facing childrearing or geriatric issues, stepfamilies, and families facing medical or mental illness.

Pre-Licence Mental Health Counselor Associate in Rhode Island, where I offer online and in-person counseling. I work with adolescents, college students, and adults. My areas of specialty are trauma, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, and young adults. I also frequently work with clients with eating disorders, chronic pain, and disabilities. I am a person-centered therapist and prioritize therapy that is tailored to the needs of each client by incorporating evidence-based practice such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and Emotion-focused therapy (EFT).

I truly believe it is such a great privilege and honor to have the opportunity to meet and support so many people, wherever they have found themselves on the journey through this life. Each experience is unique and rewarding. I have worked in the human service/mental health field for over 15 years, and have a great deal of experience working with children and families, as well as adults. I've also specialized in working with children and adults who have been diagnosed with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and experience with helping people cope through depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and other life challenges.

I focus on careful assessment and helping those in need of clinical services using a variety of evidenced based approaches. In my practice, I use a variety of treatment modalities such as individual, couple, group, and family therapy depending on individual needs. I have much experience working with psychiatric and behavioral problems such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, trauma-related disorders and so on. Teaching individuals how to manage and cope with symptoms of grief, marital problems, family conflict, divorce, parenting issues, and other relational problems are additional areas of specialty.

*** I am not taking on new clients currently, please be in touch if you are interested in being placed on a waitlist. I am holding group sessions in September, please see below.** Often times change is met with resistance, and as a therapist, I provide a supportive role in assisting others to recognize and overcome blocks, fear and distraction. Supporting healing in adolescents and adults whom wish to become their best selves, is fostered by a relationship built upon trust, compassion and open communication. I use a variety of holistic modalities, including mindfulness, expressive arts, DBT, and EMDR.

Therapy is a unique and personal journey, therefore I practice an integrative and individualized style of therapy to best address your specific needs. My therapeutic style can be described as integrative, empathic and nonjudgmental. I focus on helping to build on a client's strengths while also directing attention to those behaviors and thoughts that hold people back from achieving their goals and living a more authentic life.
