Therapists in Bristol, RI

Helping others realize their dreams, heal their lives, and create change are just some of the places where I find beauty in the counseling process. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families in the midst of their journeys towards marriage, family growth and dealing with issues including general life changes, premarital counseling, marriage concerns, relationship issues, infertility, postpartum depression, depression, anxiety and panic attacks, OCD, adjustment, trauma, child birth trauma, and parenting. My goals in practice are to be present, witness, facilitate, and provide guidance through these changes in an effort to create the relationships you desire.

Currently Accepting New Telehealth Clients! First of all I'm happy you're here! You have already taken the first step toward making meaningful change in your life, career, and relationships. With nearly a decade experience in the treatment field, I have worked with individuals on a wide variety of life struggles. I am particulary interested in working with mothers experiencing infertility, pregnancy, and post-partum. Also, as a former law enforcement officer, I thoroughly enjoy working with first responders, nurses and veterans, especially with trauma histories. Most of all, I love working with those who want to grow and evolve.

Positive change and healing take time, practice, and self-love. Three things that I believe are the foundation of the counseling process. I encourage you to invest in yourself and begin the journey towards a happier and healthier lifestyle. I have experience working with teens, adults, and couples dealing with issues including general life changes, premarital counseling, marriage concerns, relationship issues, infertility, postpartum depression, parenting, depression, anxiety and panic attacks.

I have a history working with adults, children, couples and families. I enjoy working with a diverse population. Change is inevitable in life however how one moves through it is up to the individual. Behavior is changeable but only by the person that has the behavior not by his/her partner, parent, friend etc.

My approach is warm and engaging, meeting you where you are. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I tailor therapy to your unique needs. Seeking practical strategies, emotional support, and a safe space, you aim for calm, balance, and meaning. I offer compassion, humor, and empowerment as we work toward your goals.

For most of us, our interpersonal relationships can be our source of greatest stress but also greatest joy. Research shows our relationships with others are linked to our mental and even physical health throughout our lives. I work with couples, parents, and families to address relationship issues while also promoting friendship and fun in the relationship. Common goals include improving intimacy, trust, boundaries, and communication. I use gold-standard research-based interventions to help break unwanted patterns and empower couples and families with the skills and tools for healthy fulfilling relationships.

Women (including trans and nonbinary individuals) face unique challenges across the lifespan, particularly during times of transition. Overwhelming emotions, irritability, anxiety, or low mood are all signs that a change is needed, quite possibly in the form of a skilled, compassionate therapist to help you navigate these experiences. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and perinatal mental health. I love working with college-aged folks (particularly the Brown University community) and couples as well.

Every individual has the right to a healthy, well-lived life. The right to feeling whole, complete, balanced and purposeful. This concept of a well-lived life needs to incorporate all aspects of an individual: their mind, body and environment. When that balance has been disrupted, emotional pain and physical maladies can occur.

I am compassionate, understanding, & pro-active. Together, we will help you learn how to better empower yourself, while finding strategies to cope and manage with life, work, family, relationships, school, food,or medical stress and challenges. I have expertise in treating complex conditions that may involve depression, anxiety, trauma, pain, health, fatigue, stress, life transitions, relationships, college,and work issues. I have 20 years expertise with Mindfulness-based Mind-Body Therapies, and Mindfulness Meditation, which are well researched methods in treating stress, pain, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.

Examining thoughts, feelings, and emotions connected to old patterns is a path that leads to self-discovery and understanding in how you are currently functioning. I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 11 years of experience in the field. My work spans across different developmental stages from adolescence to late adulthood, including group therapy work and couples therapy. Likely, the hardest part is beginning to understand why things really aren't working- I work with clients in a clear, approachable manner, so we can pinpoint the root causes and create a goal-oriented framework for progress.

***Currently accepting individuals, telehealth only*** Cheers to you for taking your first step toward the changes you seek. There is powerful scientific evidence that therapy works. You can learn better ways to relate to friends and family, approach conflict, identify and prioritize steps toward your life goals, or change patterns that keep you stuck. Using warmth and positive regard, I will work with you to establish an environment conducive to trust and willingness to lean into change. My approach will balance listening with gentle and transparent challenging of unproductive patterns of thinking and acting.

Therapy can make an enormous difference in people's lives. I've seen it again and again. And if you're considering therapy -- alone or with your partner -- you've probably reached a point where you realize that things need to change. Getting that change started is a big step. And finding the right person makes all the difference. I'll want first and foremost to understand the situation you're in, and to get a sense of how you see things. I'll want to understand what you've been experiencing, and what sorts of changes you'd like to see.
