I am a warm, affirming, non-judgmental psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, and I work with an interactive, humanistic, strengths-based, trauma-informed, HAES-aligned, and transparent, narrative approach. I believe that people have the innate capacity to heal and change. We will work together to develop a deeper understanding of your life goals and perspectives, so that we can custom-tailor techniques to make life most meaningful for you. We will work together toward resolving life challenges by identifying your personal strengths, coping strategies, and by helping you to see things in your life from a different lens.

I work with women, men, and couples who are facing emotional and sexual health difficulties. Over the last few years, I have worked in an oncology setting, which has given me a unique ability to address the concerns of those dealing with chronic illness, as well as those trying to redefine and recreate their lives after a cancer diagnosis and treatment. As an AASECT certified sex therapist, addressing the sexual health and intimacy concerns of individuals and couples who are experiencing challenges or difficulties with their emotional and/or sexual relationships is my other area of focus.

I enjoy working with clients who demonstrate motivation, whether or not they have already defined their goals for therapy. With training in counseling and behavioral medicine, I welcome individuals from late adolescence through adulthood, especially those wishing to discuss cultural--including LGBTQ+--identities, chronic illness, anxiety, ADHD, and parenting concerns. I realize that people have different feelings about mental health for legitimate reasons. I invite you to explore those concerns with me in a supportive environment, free from judgment. Coming from a Multicultural lens, I recognize that you are the expert of your life.

Starting therapy can be an intimidating process even for those who have been in treatment before. Welcome, and congratulations on taking this first step! I offer therapy to individuals (both adolescent and adult) and couples through Mellem Clinic, a psychodynamic practice located in Providence, Rhode Island. My work is based on the understanding that each person is unique, that our pasts shape our present experiences and relationships, and that we all have an innate capacity to develop and grow. Over time, I help clients gain a sense of safety, awareness, and a compassionate understanding of themselves and their worlds.

Are you navigating significant life transitions or facing challenges? Therapy can be a valuable tool to explore the strengths you already possess and guide you towards a life aligned with your core values. Life throws us daily challenges, and my therapeutic approach centers on empowering you with a person-centered, holistic perspective. As a registered yoga teacher and mindfulness skills instructor, I incorporate wellness-based practices backed by evidence to support you in realizing your full potential.

Hi and welcome to my page. If talking to friends or family or trying your best at self care tips no longer work, therapy could be the next step for you. If you find yourself isolating, or do not have a healthy support system, adding in a counselor may be a benefit. My goal is to get to know you and your goals so that we can work together to help you overcome obstacles that may be holding you back from living your best life.

Most of my clients come to me in a state of Autistic burnout, although they may not realize what it is at the time. Treating it as depression or anxiety can be counterproductive & only increases burnout symptoms. These clients are also typically seeking a late-diagnosis (ASD) and figuring out the best way forward to meet needs that have been masked for years. As a neurodivergent affirmative therapist, I go through the diagnostic process with clients and after we formulate therapeutic goals that are individualized for each person.

Are you stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Are you dealing with chronic issues? Are you ready to make a change and feel better? Are you interested in learning practical tools to transform stress/trauma, reduce anxiety, and find more peace and calm? I take a holistic and integrative approach to helping my clients. I believe that talk therapy alone is not enough. I teach simple mind-body-energy techniques to help my clients feel more grounded, present, and calm. This sets the foundation for the deeper work of processing and releasing past traumas so you can reclaim your most authentic, free self and live your best life.

Welcome. If you are reading this webpage, you are looking for a therapist who is right for you. I have helped patients suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, and relationship ruptures to go on to live full and authentic lives. I employ traditional psychotherapy approaches, as well as Somatic Experiencing and EMDR, to provide safe and compassionate care.

Many of us experience trauma in our lifetime, and for some, several times across our life span. We often find ourselves with feelings of loss/grief, depression, and/or anxiety. It can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the joys which were once our normal. Your feelings are valid and should be heard. There is a way forward
