Attachment-based Therapists in Rhode Island

(Currently accepting new clients!) The opportunity to hear my clients’ stories and partner with them on their journeys of self-discovery and healing, is one of my life’s greatest privileges. In a warm and accepting environment, I help adults, couples and families identify their goals and take steps to improve their lives. I have extensive experience helping people improve their relationships, process and heal from trauma, and overcome a variety of anxiety and mood-related issues.

Have you ever felt that even with therapy, medication, or the combination of both that there are these underlying patterns that you just can’t seem to shake? Perhaps you have tried on your own, found short-term success, but eventually fell back into your old patterns? Have you ever felt down about yourself as a result and found yourself asking “will I ever change?” While I believe you are enough as you are and do not need to change who you are at the core, there are often thoughts, feelings, and behaviors we fall into that are possible to recognize and change when you are determined and ready to make the first step!

Do you want to improve your mental health or increase joy in your life? Are you curious about exploring your inner world? Do you wish that you and your partner could communicate better? Therapy is a safe place to explore these topics and more. As a therapist, it is my top priority to create a supportive environment where you can be your full self without fear of shame or judgment. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where my role as the therapist is to be a guide on your journey towards healing or coping with a life transition, mental health struggle, or any other challenge that life may throw your way.

As a therapist, I specialize in helping adults heal from past traumas, navigate challenges within their relationships, and explore concerns related to sex and sexuality.
