If you have been carrying something heavy and are not sure where to start, you are in the right place. I am a licensed therapist in Rhode Island who believes healing begins with a real relationship. My approach is holistic and creative: I meet you exactly where you are, with no judgment and no rigid formula. Whether you are working through anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again, I would love to hear your story and help you find your way forward

I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches and tailor every session to what you need most. For anxiety, stress, and difficult patterns, I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help shift what is keeping you stuck. For trauma and PTSD, I bring in Trauma-Focused CBT and attachment-based work, building safety before diving deeper. If you are navigating relationship challenges, I incorporate Gottman Method and couples-focused approaches. Mindfulness is woven through everything: you do not need a meditation practice for it to help. Above all, my sessions are flexible. If something is not working, we change it. You are the expert on your own life.

Our first session is a conversation, not a questionnaire. I will ask what brought you here, what you are hoping for, and what matters most right now. There is no pressure to have it all figured out or to share more than feels comfortable. By the end, you will have a clear sense of how I work and whether this feels like the right fit. More than anything, I want you to leave that first hour feeling genuinely heard and a little lighter than when you logged on.
