Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. Many clients come in feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling in relationships, or trying to manage everything on their own. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, process what’s going on, and feel genuinely supported without judgment.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island, my work focuses on helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, relationship issues, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across mental health, child welfare, foster care, schools, community-based programs, and the juvenile court system, supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult moments.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and practical. Sessions are tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based techniques, and supportive therapy to help clients better understand emotional patterns, build healthier coping skills, strengthen boundaries, and feel more confident managing daily life.

Creating a safe and supportive environment is extremely important to me. Therapy should feel like a partnership where clients can speak openly, feel heard, and work through challenges at a pace that feels comfortable. My goal is to help make therapy feel approachable, meaningful, and genuinely helpful as you move toward healing and growth.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy or are ready for additional support, I’d be honored to be part of that process and invite you to book a free consultation with me.
