Therapists in Warwick, RI

Currently, my practice includes counseling services for ADULTS, TEENS, AND KIDS, including YOUNGER CHILDREN, ages 3-5 years old. With 29 years of clinical practice, I provide treatment for common issues such as Grief, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), ADHD, and Adjustment Disorders which often cause mood/behavior problems. My approach to treatment includes an emphasis on CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) in conjunction with teaching Coping Skills, Relaxation Skills, Social Skills and Problem Solving. I'm also fluent in ASL (American Sign Language) and specialize with clients who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing.

I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Sometimes you get stuck in the past; worry about the future or feel mired in the present. Change is inevitable and learning how to cope with it can be a challenge. You don't think anyone could understand so you keep pushing along until one day (or in one moment) you realize you can no longer manage it by yourself. Having someone to talk to and walk with as you navigate personal challenges can help relieve the stress as you find new meaning and new possibilities. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

“I believe that therapy is a place where a child or adolescent should feel heard, accepted and safe. Using ones strengths and interests, treatment is focused on not changing who you are but learning how to navigate through difficult situations that may cause challenges at school, with friends and at home with family. My goal is in helping one to understand what is causing distress and enhance ones ability to manage strong emotions and build self efficacy through assertive communication, coping, problem solving and social skills.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Rhode Island and Massachusetts working with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, age ranges, and life stages. I offer individual therapy across a spectrum of treatment areas, such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I strongly believe in focusing on each client's strengths and bringing these qualities to the forefront - while it can be difficult to identify our own positives, together we will work to recognize and honor them.

Are you motivated to start moving forward and letting your past be your past? If you struggle with trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or addiction, I can help you. It takes insight and strength to decide to work on yourself. Therapy is a great way to gain a new perspective and coping skills. My goal is to help you reframe how you look at situations that have not allowed you to move forward. Deciding to dedicate time to yourself is not selfish but selfless. You deserve the ability to have peace of mind!
