Therapists in Washington County, RI

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.

When we change the way we think, we change the way we live. I believe counseling is a space to explore the thoughts that hinder our success. Together, we will work to reimagine the way we’ve learned to communicate with ourselves and others. I truly believe that we inherently hold the wisdom to answer the questions we ask - sometimes we need a little extra support in dismantling our self limiting beliefs. Whether this is your first-time seeking support or your 10th, exploring your desire for a different, more authentic life is courageous.

Life is a challenging, yet rewarding journey that can throw us for some ups and downs. I am here to support you through both. Have you been thinking about starting therapy for some time? Starting this process may feel daunting for some. You have already taken the first step to starting the therapeutic process by finding this page; I applaud you for your courage. Together we will work to discover your strengths and explore techniques to help you cope with your difficulties.​

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.

I’m glad that you have decided to reach out for support-how courageous!

I currently focus on adults who want to address one or more of the following: daily life stressors, trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

After graduating from social work school 46 years ago, it has been my privilege to have partnered with and met all kinds of people from all walks of life presenting with a myriad of struggles. From my perspective, treatment is all about improving one's quality of life. Experience has shown me that with the appropriate amount of support and reality testing, most people are quite capable of addressing their challenges and feeling better about themselves. I prefer using a more traditional psychodynamic approach to treatment. Such an approach emphasizes providing a positive space for people to change.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker providing therapy to individuals in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Many of my clients have an interest in spirituality or spiritual practices & they identify as deep thinkers and want to learn more about themselves.

Choosing the right therapist can feel overwhelming; how do you find that person with whom you can develop an authentic relationship who will also be skilled enough to know where and how to challenge you? Having spent the last seventeen years working successfully with teens, adults, and parents, I am deeply committed to fostering a safe space while using evidence-based methods that are trusted to promote change.

A vast majority of my experience is with substance abuse and mental health including the residual effects from substance abuse (i.e., family of origin, relationships and work concerns).
