About My Clients

I passionately support individuals throughout the lifespan with their stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, substance use, trauma, and other life adjustments and challenges. I am committed to spending time building rapport with you while using empirical strategies to assist with finding relief and restoring peace to your life. Finding the right therapist is key and I am ready to work with you on your journey to building and maintaining mental wellness.

My Background and Approach

I have over a decade of experience in mental health work. For the past 10 years I have volunteered with Friends Way, a children's bereavement center in RI where I facilitate a teen grief group. In 2021, I received my masters degree in clinical social work at Rhode Island College where I attended as an advanced standing student. I continue to support children and adolescents as a social worker in Woonsocket, RI as a general support social worker in a Middle School with concentrated work in substance use prevention, education, and early intervention. As a therapist in private practice for 3 years, I integrate evidence-based therapy techniques with a holistic, person-centered approach tailored to each client's unique needs. Common modalities I blend to help those presenting with trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression include ACT, CBT, DBT & Mindfulness. My aim is to instill hope and inspire belief in the possibility of a better future.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe a negatively stigmatized belief system towards seeking mental healthcare makes access to support so much harder than it needs to be. Pain and suffering are universal experiences, but so can be the desire and ability to alleviate and manage them. Grab onto hope or expect to find it here. I am here with you and you are not alone or uncared for. I will listen, validate, empathize, and use my professional expertise to provide you concrete tools to support you on your path to healing and growth. I invite you to approach our work together with an open mind and honesty, and together, we can build a space where you can heal and flourish.
