Therapists in Portsmouth, RI

I am a holistic therapist that honors and cherishes your innate inner potential and possibility. I have worked with individuals, couples, parents, and families that are not experiencing their deepest aspirations and desires. Through an integrative holistic approach to therapy, you can be reminded of and accept your innate ability to realize your infinite potential and unimaginable possibility. This allows you to overcome the barriers that hinder living the life you desire. The holistic approach is an existential strengths based approach that works through mind, body, and spirit to gently guide you toward acceptance and recognition of your innate ability.
