Teletherapy for Rhode Island

Are you facing challenges in parenting, relationships, dealing with trauma, or navigating anxiety triggers? I have a deep understanding of these issues, drawn from my personal experiences. I’m passionate about helping others manage and overcome them. I love working with children, teenagers, & couples. I enjoy drawing children & adolescents in with play & art therapy. These creative approaches help them to express themselves & foster a strong therapeutic bond between us. I guide couples to move from distress, distance, or contention to a place of renewed closeness & intimacy.

"Trust The Process" is my professional mantra in which I help people through the therapeutic healing process in an expressive and non-intrusive style. I been in the behavioral health field for 27 years and I am still highly energized, empathetic and compassionate about my profession and the people I serve. Using traditional talk therapy as well as DBT and Expressive therapy modalities I focus on mindfulness, wellness and strength-based practices to empower people to be active and motivated for change, acceptance and letting go of the past which is holding back the healing today.

Working with children and adolescents brings up various treatment needs and goals in therapy. Through CBT, DBT, MBSR, PCIT, mentalization based therapeutic strategies and educational resources, role-playing, arts and play therapy as well as self-help worksheets, young clients will be able to develop appropriate expressive skills to share their wants and needs. Parents can collaborate in treatment by proactively learning parenting skills to best engage with their children and adolescents by becoming more responsive in establishing and maintaining secure attachment through consistently building on healthy, nurturing relationships.
