Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Cranston, RI
Supervised by Marisa Etting, LMHC License #MHC00342

About My Clients

I support individuals who’ve learned to quiet their needs to stay safe or keep the peace. You may appear steady on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relational trauma, or emotional exhaustion. You might be tired of performing, people-pleasing, or carrying the weight of your past alone.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHC-A) with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families through anxiety, trauma, grief, identity shifts, and self-reconnection. My background includes advanced training in EMDR, somatic therapy, expressive arts, and perinatal mental health, along with years of work in healing spaces, retreats, and personal growth communities. Much of my work centers on trauma and intergenerational healing, including the impact of the mother wound. I bring lived experience, clinical expertise, and deep respect for the patterns we inherit and the change that becomes possible when we choose to tend to them. My approach is relational, body-based, and trauma-informed. I offer warmth, clarity, and curiosity as we explore the parts of you that helped you get through the past, while creating space for the version of you that’s ready to heal and thrive

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I became a therapist because I know healing is possible. Safety, connection, and breaking cycles are not just ideas, they can be lived experiences. I understand what it is like to feel stuck in survival mode, to carry invisible wounds, and to long for relief without knowing where to begin. At You Matter Holistic Healing, I support individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, people-pleasing, the mother wound, and the challenges of motherhood or perinatal transitions. I believe in pacing that respects your nervous system and in therapy that gently guides you back to your body, truth, and sense of self. You do not have to do this alone, and you do not have to be anyone other than who you are to begin.
