Couples therapists in Rhode Island

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.

Welcome!

If you hope to slow down for an hour to ask deep questions, commit to your values, increase your self compassion, and rewrite your narrative, I am here to help you through that process.

I work alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, perinatal challenges, relationship concerns, and grief. I am also passionate about working with clients who have experienced intimate partner violence and sexual violence. I am a clinical social worker licensed in Maine and Rhode Island, holding a Master of Social Work from the University of New England.

Welcome to my profile and thank you for stopping by. I am based in Maine but am licensed in Rhode Island, Florida, Maine and Vermont. I am here to support you to work on your goals.
