Hi, I’m Chrissy, and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you may have spent a lot of time stuck in the “why,” wondering why these thoughts happen or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’ll shift the focus from the why to the how: how you can respond differently, break the cycle, and move forward.

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.

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.

I specialize in perinatal mental health counseling. I strive to equip women with the tools they need to navigate life with confidence. I mission is to empower every woman to become the version of herself she longs to be.
