Therapists in Rumford, RI

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,

**I am licensed to provide therapy in RI & MA** I don't believe that therapy has to look or feel like therapy as it is often represented. Together we can approach life's challenges in an intentional, action oriented, person centered and thoughtful way, in order to help break and change the patterns that have too often rendered you "stuck." To assist in making these changes, I provide the direct and honest guidance and feedback that is absolutely necessary to any successful therapy, while fostering an environment where you feel able to take the risks to grow, adjust, and adapt. My guiding principle is that change is always possible.

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.

I manage substance abuse issues, related PTSD and trauma, return to employment, disability issues, and the anxiety that evolves with need for change with confidence and strength needed to allow you to "do it." If you are returning from incarceration and need re-integration, my experience from corrections allows you support and understanding. If you are suffering with mood disorders and thoughts of harming self, my 30 + years of experience allows you the confidence of my experience of practice.
