Great to meet you!

Twenty-five years of sitting with people in their hardest moments has taught me that real change rarely follows a straight line — and that's okay. I work with adults across Rhode Island via telehealth, specializing in anxiety, depression, and one of the most overlooked areas in mental health: the pain of loving someone whose addiction is running the show in your life. What sets my practice apart is that alongside traditional talk therapy, I'm also a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher. That means breathwork and mindfulness aren't add-ons — they're woven into how I work, in ways that are practical and useful.

My approach to therapy

My work is grounded in acceptance-based therapy — the idea that fighting reality exhausts us. Learning to work with what is (while still working toward change) is when things start to shift. I use breathwork, humor, and direct conversation alongside goal-setting that's real and achievable. The obstacle you are up against? That's actually the guide.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a real conversation, not a form. I'll listen carefully to what's brought you here, ask questions that help me understand what you want from therapy and by the end, you'll have a clearer sense of what working together could look like. I can help you navigate overwhelming emotions so that your life is simpler, calmer and more manageable.
