Therapists in Warren, RI

I am a holistic therapist that honors and cherishes your innate inner potential and possibility. I have worked with individuals, couples, parents, and families that are not experiencing their deepest aspirations and desires. Through an integrative holistic approach to therapy, you can be reminded of and accept your innate ability to realize your infinite potential and unimaginable possibility. This allows you to overcome the barriers that hinder living the life you desire. The holistic approach is an existential strengths based approach that works through mind, body, and spirit to gently guide you toward acceptance and recognition of your innate ability.

Life crises or challenges can be times when spiritual and/or personal values are re-examined, and opportunities arise to find new balance and wellbeing. Caring for oneself, and discovering one's qualities or what matters most, are part of healing of mental, emotional and physical bodies. This work provides a safe, non-judgmental space to examine feelings, beliefs and questions - a place to unwind traumas that may have us stuck in patterns that are no longer healthy. We find a new way to align with inner dreams or the intention of happiness that is unique to each individual.

I can help you be introspective and understand your feelings better--as well as working on practical ways to make changes. Therapy can help with your feelings of self-esteem, your relationships, and communication with others. Often people are looking for ways to manage your day-to-day stress, to understand and manage a longer-term loss, to figure out why things don't feel right. I offer techniques for managing these difficulties, while simultaneously understanding them better.

Welcome! I believe our problems are related to both environmental and/or internal factors, however we don't need to be the victim of our current or life's circumstances. Our healing resides within each one of us, and all we may need is guidance to help us reach clarity to claim our true power within. The author and M.D., Scott Peck states at the start of his book, The Road Less Traveled, “Life is difficult.” When we experience those difficulties, therapy gives us an outlet to sift through those painful emotions of confusion, fear, sadness, and even hopelessness, but most importantly therapy can help give us a new outlook on life.

***I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME (last update 6/22/2021)*** I believe we all have a story or understanding of our lives that includes the past, present and our vision (however vague) for the future. There are times and events in our lives that disrupt this narrative and strain our coping skills, our vision of ourselves and, at times, the meaning of our lives. Whether the moment that we decide to seek out therapy is the culmination of events or the result of a significant change, it is an important decision.
