I seek to guide individuals and couples through the process of psychotherapy in order to positively transform lives and relationships. My primary approach to therapy is person-centered in which I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy in order to assist individuals to maximize their strengths, interests, and skills. I seek to create a safe and respectful therapeutic environment in order to facilitate self-reflection, personal growth, and healing.

It takes strength and courage to seek therapy. Being able to take this initial step is one of the most important steps in the process.

Competition should bring out the best in you, but without the right physical & mental preparation-it can bring out the worst. Any of the following sound familiar? You're in top physical shape, but unprepared mentally. You psyche yourself out + lose confidence before the competition. When things get tough, you lose focus + power. You have a love-hate relationship with your sport. Right now, it's more hate. You're injured + feeling low + disillusioned with your sport. You tick all the boxes: sleeping right, eating right, training right. But you haven't tackled the sport psychology piece yet.

I welcome and work with clients who struggle with body image (dysmorphia), committing to physical fitness (at any level), depression, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Together we will challenge your negative cognitive thoughts about your identity, and develop positive beliefs about your mind, body, and physical capabilities. I will provide support and coaching around developing, and accomplishing lifestyle goals related to positive mental and physical health outcomes. If you would like to work with a psychotherapist and certified personal trainer for the best outcomes and results for a new lifestyle please contact me.

My areas of expertise are stress/anxiety management, postoperative/postsurgical depression and anxiety, athlete mental health, life transitions (e.g. perimenopause), and health and wellness. I can help you learn ways to lower your stress levels, recover quicker from injury or surgery, attain balance in your life, or cope with the challenges of major life transitions. I received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (Syracuse Univ) and a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences (USF Coll Medicine). Besides clinical work, I have taught and published research on stress and health. My background gives me a unique perspective of the mind-body connection.

Over twenty years as an ordained minister and equestrian I noticed how horses were helping me, so I developed Integrative Equine Therapy. In a non-clinical environment, a horse and IET Therapist create a safe space. We guide, encourage and support you in removing blocks, building new neural pathways from the trauma center to the conscious part of your brain, making it possible to respond rather than react to triggers. We call this "shifting perspective." With IET, you can find clarity of purpose, meaning and joy. Brown University's independent data on our therapeutic approach shows the success of IET. We work with all ages.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, or a life transition? Are you wanting to feel more aware of your emotions, and how to cope with them? Perhaps you have negative thought patterns and wish to feel more grounded and content in daily life. Therapy with me will teach you skills and exercises to counteract negative symptoms you are experiencing and lead you to a happy and balanced life. I have worked with clients aged 16-65, and particularly enjoy working with young adults. I also have experience with gender affirming therapy and welcome those of all identities to work with me.

As a college professor and licensed therapist, I have experience in treating Mood Disorders such as Depression/Anxiety, as well as Phase of Life Issues, Phobias, Obsessions, Grief/Bereavement, Life Transitions, Behavioral Issues, Relationship Problems, and LGBTQ Presenting Concerns. In 2023 I was appointed by the Governor to fill a vacancy on the RI Board of Mental Health Counselors/Marriage & Family Therapists. The Board is responsible for the formulation of rules and regulations pertaining to the practice of the mental health profession. I am quite excited about this appointment and my participation on the Board.
