No one is an island. Meeting with a supportive listener can ease the aloneness when more is going on in your life than you feel you can handle. Telling your story in a safe environment is often the key to hearing and understanding yourself more clearly. My goal is to be a compassionate and non-judgmental witness as you find the answers that are most likely already within you.

I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Illness, Mood Regulation, ADHD and Family Dynamics. Post-covid, so many individuals and families are experiencing anxiety and depression. I can guide, coach, and teach you easy-to-learn skills to just feel better. I help people communicate more effectively with different methodologies, which also include humor. I have a very easygoing and warm demeanor that allows me to connect with people. Having raised four boys, now men, I know first-hand the challenge and chaos of family life.

If, in this VERY moment, things are "falling apart", and you don't want to wait weeks for an appointment and support, please call me NOW.

Thank you for getting to know my counseling practice at The Family Institute of RI. I have worked for over thirty years with individuals suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, Anxiety, Depression and other mental health issues. I have spent much of my practice working with children ages 3-12, teens, and adults. I have extensive knowledge and experience helping individuals and families involved in the family court system. And I am committed to helping individuals overcome obstacles that interfere with positive change and growth. I also work with individuals and couples struggling with relationship issues,as well as domestic abuse and anger management.

Is communication with your child/teen, partner, or with other family members a struggle? Are you having difficulty coping with life's challenges? Do you feel anxious, angry or depressed? We all experience a range of emotions but at times we may become overwhelmed with these emotions to the point that we feel stuck. Counseling can provide the support that is sometimes necessary, while assisting you to navigate life's challenges. I believe that each individual's experience is unique and that by providing a safe, accepting and nonjudgemental environment the process of healing, change and personal growth can occur.

Welcome! We all struggle with life at times and I congratulate you on moving toward getting the help you want or need. I believe the single most important factor in getting effective help is to find the right counselor. This is a very personal, sometimes scary process and it is important to feel safe, comfortable, and trusting with the person with whom you choose to share your life. I may or may not be that person for you but I am confident that, if you feel comfortable talking with me, I can help.

Life isn’t worth having to spend it in an unhealthy relationship, holding grudges, letting trauma rule our life’s path, or having to deal with constant anxiety or depression. When working with me as your clinician, we work towards setting you free of emotional pain. We work on dealing with life stressors on your terms, finding meaning within your relationships and all other areas of life.

Welcome and Thank You for your interest in my practice. I believe that the process of healing and change for any of us is facilitated through safe, healthy, and life-affirming relationships. My intention is to create a therapeutic relationship and a safe space where your unique healing and personal development can occur. Through my 30+ plus years of experience working in human services and my 20+ years of providing therapeutic counseling to kids, teens, and adults, I have learned that taking an individualized approach is most effective in addressing a person's specific needs and goals for change.
