Therapists in Rumford, RI

Welcome. I am a licensed psychotherapist based in Rhode Island. I work with adults providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy. My goal is to create a compassionate and non-judgmental environment in which my clients are empowered to make changes and become their most authentic selves. I have 20+ years of experience treating a variety of issues including: low self-esteem, anger management, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and life transitions. I have extensive experience treating substance dependence and recovery issues as well as co-dependency and adult children affected by addiction (ACOAs).

If you have experienced a trauma, I would love to work with you. Helping clients heal from trauma, which includes managing their stress and anxiety, is my area of expertise. Additionally, I’ll work with you to improve your self-esteem, improve your quality of sleep, and strengthen your relationships with others. This is especially true with couples (e.g., positive communication, strengthening bonds, improving sexual health/managing intimacy issues). In addition to individuals who have experienced sexual trauma, I particularly enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, children and adolescents, families, and couples.

Life can be hard. Never give up! Are you looking for someone to help you work through anxiety, panic attacks, depression or family and relationship problems? Life's problems can not always be fixed but it helps to have someone that will help you get through it. Let's uncover your inner strength and work through the things that stand in the way of achieving your goals. As a therapist, I see my role as a supportive guide that will work along side of you to reach your goals and continue growing towards your greatest potential.

No one should have to face any of life's challenges on their own, and that is how therapy can be helpful. Creating sustainable change, helping others to feel heard and understood, and working collaboratively to meet goals are main priorities for me in the therapy process. I have worked extensively with children, adolescents/teens, adults, families, and couples to meet their individual goals and become more aware of their strengths. I have experience with many issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and domestic violence. I would like to provide thoughtful guidance and help facilitate you making positive changes in your life.

I believe that the work of therapy happens in a safe, non-judgmental setting which enables you to build a trusting relationship where you can share your deepest concerns, build resilience and develop insight which will enable you to develop more effective strategies and solutions in order to create and sustain a healthy more authentic and fulfilling life. If you find yourself repeating patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are not working for you or in relationships that don't work out and leave you wondering why, therapy can help. Sometimes, therapy is about focusing on a specific issue however often it is more encompassing.

I love to work with ALL couples who are experiencing relationship conflicts (including LGBTQIA2S+), families who need additional supports for parenting help, adolescents, younger adults, those in college and who are navigating changes, military personnel, and those looking to process any experienced trauma. I honorably served in the military for 27 years and have extensive experience in treating PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, infidelity, and substance use/co-occurring disorders.

I enjoy working with clients who are Black and Indigenous and/or part of the LGBTQIA2S+ communities, who adjusting to changes, college students, activists, artists and those who are looking to do the deep work of healing and integration. I have almost a decade of experience working with client concerns such as: depression, mood disorders, anxiety, couple and familial relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, life changes and transitions, self-esteem, and personal growth, among others. My therapeutic style is rooted in connection my clients and I share. I am relational in nature, eclectic, strength-based and collaborative.

My approach is to identify the clients' therapeutic needs with compassion. My goal is to help clients to identify their presenting problem, understand their thoughts and actions, and guide them towards awareness and concrete resolution. For over 10 years, I have provided cognitive behavioral and strength based therapy to adults, adolescents and children. I offer individual, family/couples therapy. I am member of the American Mental Health Counselors Association,

As an independently licensed clinical social worker, I have more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and couples who are searching for growth and change. My approach to treatment is to create a warm and nonjudgmental environment in which you can examine and identify your challenges and goals. I have a warm, outgoing therapeutic style and provide a safe and comfortable setting, while challenging you with care and compassion to live a more meaningful and authentic life.

My clients would describe me as direct, caring, humorous, action and solution focused. I help individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, infidelity, work conflict & stress related issues. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based form of treatment. CBT targets your thoughts and perceptions that contribute to the emotions and experiences you feel. Together, we will identify your problem areas, their contributors, and focus on learning the skills and solutions necessary to overcome them.
