I currently have a waitlist for adult clients aged 18 and older and are not accepting new clients at this time. Hi, I am a trauma-informed therapist who is licensed in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Are you struggling with managing the stressors of life? Do you feel like it's hard to connect with professionals who genuinely understand you? Is it challenging to separate your previous life experiences from the present moment? Together, we will work to find the approach that is best tailored toward your needs and utilize evidenced based practices such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, and the FLASH technique.
Although I am experienced in working with a wide range of patients, I specialize in working with PTSD, ADHD, ASD, anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders; and enjoy working with both LGBTQIA+ and the neurodiverse population.
Taking the first step by contacting a therapist can feel overwhelming. I believe that true healing starts within the therapeutic relationship. Everyone deserves to feel connected and safe with a mental health professional of their choosing. Call today for your 15-minute phone consultation and we will discuss if my approach feels like the best match for you.

I often use an EMDR framework in therapy. In the intake session, we will discuss your reasons for attending therapy. Together, we will explore the best approach to address your needs. With EMDR, we'll look at how to reduce the intensity of these experiences, so that you can create a new understanding of yourself. During treatment, you'll learn to cope with your past and reduce overall stress.
