Most of my clients are already working hard on their own lives. They've read the books, downloaded the apps, tried to white-knuckle through anxiety, ADHD, or a stuck relationship, and still feel caught in patterns they can name but cannot seem to change. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and neuroscientist based on the East Side of Providence, steps from Brown University and RISD. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and the particular weight that high-achieving professionals often carry.
My approach integrates evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy with emotionally focused and attachment-based work, informed by more than 20 years of neuroscience research on emotional regulation and the stress-response system. No one-size-fits-all protocols. Each treatment plan is built for your specific patterns, goals, and pace.
If any of this sounds like you, I would be glad to hear from you. Many of the people I work with are faculty and researchers at Brown, clinicians at Rhode Island Hospital, RISD artists and students, attorneys, and founders. Every first inquiry is personal and unhurried.
