Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed, feel stuck, and need help navigating transitions, uncertainty, or loss. The bulk of my professional experience before private practice was as a hospice social worker fostering emotional comfort for people approaching end of life. It honed my ability to hold compassionate presence while growing therapeutic approaches to meet an array of needs. I have a strong understanding of the ways losses can take shape, multiply, and be disenfranchised, how trauma can lace its way through life and shape our reactions, and ways to keep yourself afloat when life keeps stirring up storms.

Through the therapy process, solutions and plans to move forward reveal themselves, as you grow more confident in your strengths, intuition and your vision for your life. Working with the stories and thoughts we carry about ourselves and the world, we work to create new ideas, beliefs and behaviors that will lead to a more fulfilling life.

I help people to look within and find the inner strengths they have to overcome problems. This is achieved by guiding them in a process that discovers their best way of expressing themselves in a healthy manner. I like to think outside of labels and assist you in finding success in all areas of life, whether it be home, school or work.

I can help you get to the root of overthinking, doubting yourself, anxiety, sadness, and being stuck repeating the same past issues and patterns and transform it so you can finally get past it and move forward. Or if you're in a transition or going through a tough time and not sure what to do or how to cope, I can help you learn how to change what you have influence over and cope with what you don't so you can get unstuck, feel better, confident, and live the life you want.

I am licensed in RI, NY, & VT (RI MHC01033, NY 012682, VT 068.0135547). Many things can make our mental health feel more manageable and sometimes that includes counseling. I deeply believe that our society and environment can deeply effect us and be traumatizing. I want people to be free in whatever way that looks for them. I offer non-judgmental approach that focuses on feeling comfortable and okay, as well as learning to tolerate discomfort. I believe mental health work is no linear and an on-going lifelong process. I'm very aligned with the LGBTQ population, sex workers, people in poverty, & those with chronic illness.

My perspective puts the quality of the therapeutic relationship first. Your mind is resilient to stressors, exquisitely so; therapy is a restorative space that promotes health and psychological flexibility. I am expert at tuning into rich and textured conversations. My formal education, training, and reading in the subject of psychology lends depth to my practice- but the balance of a therapy is in how we manage content and process together. The art and science of psychotherapy has been my passion for 10 plus years. As your therapist, I honor your story and bear witness to the trials.

When you are anxious, everything becomes something to worry about. It feels like you are always on edge, waiting for something bad to happen. Try as you might, it's hard to push the worry away, and it stays with you, looming like a cloud hanging over you. It's hard to sleep well; worried thoughts keep running through your head. You find yourself snapping at people you care about. You're exhausted, and it's hard to concentrate. Your body just feels tense, your shoulders, your jaw, your chest. You want to just be your old self again, care-free, and not stressed. You want to feel like you are in control again.

The qualities that characterize my practice: interactive, enlightening and change oriented. Therapy is about you and I working together to develop deeper insight into your strengths and challenges in order to develop new strategies that decrease distress and suffering. The adolescents and adults who I work with are decreasing anxiety, depression and the impact of trauma. They are learning to cope without the use of substances or self medicating and developing recovery skills.

Feeling lost and disconnected? Thinking "I need help" but not sure where to begin? You're not alone and you're in the right place. Searching for help and reaching out is hard and often easier said than done. If you've made it as far as looking you've already made a small but significant win for yourself. Life is messy and we're not meant to do it alone. I enjoy helping people as a guide to take a step back and clean up their mental and emotional space to find deeper connection to themselves and within relationships. I work with young adults and adults ages 17 and up.

In a nutshell, my approach to psychotherapy is best described as a collaborative exploration of how our past experiences and beliefs affect how we experience life in the present. Through better understanding of our own internal and external worlds, greater integration of our experience can occur, more positive meaning about ourselves, others, and life in general can be made, and authentic personal growth will result. Not only can distressing symptoms, such as anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma be reduced, but more free, fulfilling, and enjoyable lives can be achieved.
