Therapists in North Kingstown, RI

Whether this is your first time in therapy or you are returning after a break, it is important to find a therapist who is the right "fit" for you. I love people and always look to draw out a client's "best self" to address their present difficulties. Through the therapeutic process they gain self awareness, experience and skills to find their own way in the future. I provide a caring compassionate presence, twenty years of professional experience and knowledge to address a wide variety of issues and a sense of humor which can ease the pain of emotions. I am excited to announce that I now offer Equine Therapy.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful tool of transformation, and an opportunity to gain a better handle on the sources of suffering in one's life. This process can take many forms, whether it's finding new ways of thinking and responding in the moment, gaining freedom from past influences, deepening self-understanding and self-acceptance, or finding creative and concrete solutions. I honor the depth and complexity of every client's unique personality, and put great care into listening deeply, asking the right questions, and creating a relaxed therapeutic atmosphere characterized by honesty, open-mindedness, and non-judgmental curiosity.

A central goal of mine is to help you feel comfortable. With comfort comes connection; in that connection can come progress. Goals shift, and therefore the ways we reach them shift. Being adaptive will help guide us. In time we'll explore the reason(s) you're seeking a listening ear and counsel all the while identifying and working toward the specifics things that you're seeking to accomplish. Through my experience I have developed an approach that relatable, approachable, and one that allows for developing a trusting relationship.

Therapy is a powerful process that can help people cope, grow, and gain insight into themselves and the world they live in. As a therapist, I strive to create meaningful, respectful relationships with my clients and encourage them to become the very best version of themselves. I am interactive, intuitive, and reflective. I listen carefully to my clients and center the therapy around their needs. Through a truly mutual collaboration, my clients and I find ways to solve problems and create healing.

With over 40 years of practice in psychotherapy, I have treated many different types of people and problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and dissociation. I have treated couples and families struggling to preserve their connections.

Anxiety, depression, poor sleep, problems in relationships and other behaviors we would like to change are common experiences. Often we do not understand our lives or why we feel so bad. It may be a struggle with feeling safe, secure, or having a sense of peace in life. We may want very to much change, but just do not know how. My goal is to build a trusting relationship, in an environment of safety and compassion, where clients can explore their experiences, their symptoms, their struggles, and work to find answers that foster more safety, more peace, and more satisfaction with their lives.

Hello and welcome! My goal is to create a safe, comfortable and judgment free space for you to explore and examine aspects of your life that are causing you distress. As your therapist, I will collaborate with you to; identify your goals and strengths, empower you to make lasting change, help you rediscover hope, peace, and balance, and experience emotional and/or spiritual healing. Every person brings their own unique experiences and perspectives of the world into therapy, and because of that, I offer a therapeutic approach to therapy calling on T-I interventions, somatic techniques, EMDR, yoga and energy psychology.

Life is filled with challenges. If you are looking for support and guidance through a difficult time in your life, therapy could be a great place to start! For supportive guidance along with practical solutions that fit into the reality of your world- I might be a good fit for you and/or your family! “Down to earth”, and “easy to talk to” are two ways that my clients often describe me. I am eclectic in my approach to therapy, using techniques from a wide range of therapeutic models including CBT, Solution focused, and Motivational Interviewing to name a few.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 10 years. I received my degree from Rhode Island College with a focus on Aging and Healthcare. For the past decade I have worked with patients and families struggling to mange depression, anxiety and loss & grief. I have worked in long term care helping patients and families understand the disease trajectory of Alzheimer's or understand behavioral disturbances associated with end of life.
