Compassionate Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

I have nearly two decades of experience working in the field of social work in a wide variety of intensive and community-based practice settings. I have been a licensed independent clinical social worker for over seven years in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults with behavioral health and mental health needs, however, I also have experience working with adults of all ages. My philosophy of care is to provide strength-based, comprehensive treatment to all clients. I will work to engage your formal and natural supports and leverage your community resources in a team-oriented process designed to meet the complex needs of your child and entire family.

I have over five years of experience in the mental health and social work field. I have worked in a wide range of settings such as long term care facilities, home/community based services, residential programs, schools, and private practice. I specialize in working with children and adolescents, as well as youth with trauma and youth in foster and adoptive care. My philosophy of practice is client centered, strengths based, empowerment based and solution focused. I also incorporate mindfulness and grounding techniques into my clinical work. My goal is to work collaboratively with clients and their support system to identify strengths and identify helpful resources in the community to provide the best overall treatment.

As a therapist, I will meet you where you are with a calm and soothing presence. I will work to help you gain greater understanding, resilience, and resolution in whatever challenges you are currently facing. I will adapt and tailor our time together to best fit you and your unique needs.

I conduct therapy with a person-centered, mindful, and relaxed approach. My best strength is meeting you where you are at, relating to you on a deeper level, and making sure you feel safe in our clinical setting. I thrive in outpatient settings, as I connect best on a weekly basis to ensure rapport is built. I support my clients in creating and building the best versions of themselves in whatever capacity is wanted and needed. I work with my clients to ensure they feel comfortable and empowered to take on their current struggles.

I believe meaningful change begins when we feel truly seen, understood, and supported. My approach is warm, collaborative, and adaptable, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique pace. I strive to create a space where clients can explore their stories, recognize their strengths, and develop skills to move toward the life they want with confidence.

As a clinical therapist, my approach is grounded in creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their experiences, navigate challenges, and develop strategies to enhance their well-being. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I work alongside my clients to identify strengths, build resilience, and cultivate coping skills that promote healing, balance, and personal growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and transitional-age youth, as well as individuals within the special needs population. My clinical background also includes working with adults in intensive outpatient programs, allowing me to support clients across various stages of life and levels of care.

I am a clinical therapist with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, transitional-age youth, and adults across a variety of treatment settings. My clinical background includes work in psychiatric inpatient units, partial hospitalization programs, and emergency mental health services, where I have provided both individual therapy and facilitated therapeutic groups.

I know reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re used to carrying everything on your own. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward with intention.

I believe therapy works best when it happens in a genuine, trusting relationship - a space where you feel truly heard, seen, and cared for. That belief guides me towards curiosity, warmth and respect for the fact that you (or your child) are the expert on your own life. I value each client and tailor treatment to each persons individual needs and experiences. I have a particular interest in trauma and I'm trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy. My background also includes experience across different levels of care, working with clients facing a wide range of diagnoses and acuity. Which means i feel comfortable meeting people wherever they are, whether they're navigating something acute or working through longer-standing patterns. I obtained my bachelors degree in Psychology with a minor in Creative Writing from Clark University and i graduated with a Master's in Social Work with a certificate in Trauma Practice from Simmons University.
