I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. Along with my professional experience in community mental health and crisis-based work, I also bring lived experience that helps me connect with clients in a compassionate, authentic, and down-to-earth way. I understand how overwhelming life can feel when someone is navigating trauma, chronic stress, medical challenges, major life changes, or simply trying to keep everything together while struggling internally.
I have experience supporting adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, substance use concerns, and severe and persistent mental illness. I’m especially passionate about working with people impacted by difficult life experiences, medical trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and emotional exhaustion.
My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, comfortable, respected, and truly understood while working toward healing, growth, and a stronger connection with themselves.

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.
Everyone has times in their lives when they feel confused, conflicted, overwhelmed, or just plain stuck. Finding the right person to help you sort through it can feel overwhelming too—which is thankfully where I come in.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, pre- and postpartum challenges, relationship issues, self-esteem, and major life transitions. Over the years, my practice has evolved to focus primarily on adults who want to better understand what is getting in the way of their happiness, relationships, success, or overall well-being.
I’m warm, open-minded, down-to-earth, and believe humor absolutely has a place in therapy. I’m also serious about boundaries and helping people find their voice. You don’t have to become a different person to feel better. Often, our work is about understanding yourself more clearly, recognizing what is no longer working for you, and becoming more comfortable making choices based on what you actually need—not just what keeps everyone else happy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Rhode Island
Searching for therapists in Rhode Island starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across the state, available care can vary between urban and more rural areas, and Rhode Island therapists may focus on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience align with your needs, whether that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or another therapy style.
Location and format can also shape your search. You may want in-person therapy in Rhode Island near Providence, Warwick, or Newport, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit your schedule from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of therapy in Rhode Island can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available in Rhode Island before you book.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
