Divorce is perhaps the most difficult and stressful of life's transitions with its profound and rippling effects. It feels like your deepest aspirations and desires are pulled from beneath you. If you are looking to regain direction in your life, this co-educational group will support in your own transformation whether you are in the process of divorce or beyond it. Together we will place an emphasis on the shared experience while cultivating a new awareness that can guide participants toward transformation through the emergence of and embracing of peace, compassion, self-care, patience, acceptance, wisdom, and trust.

The holistic approach offers treatment for anxiety or mood, life transitions, parenting, past traumas, grief/ loss, substance abuse, childhood & adolescent disorders, or identity issues.
I am a holistic therapist that honors and cherishes your innate inner potential and possibility. I have worked with individuals, couples, parents, and families that are not experiencing their deepest aspirations and desires. Through an integrative holistic approach to therapy, you can be reminded of and accept your innate ability to realize your infinite potential and unimaginable possibility. This allows you to overcome the barriers that hinder living the life you desire. The holistic approach is an existential strengths based approach that works through mind, body, and spirit to gently guide you toward acceptance and recognition of your innate ability.

Nothing is more powerful than sharing your story and hearing how closely it coorelates your own. The death of a child is one of life’s most tragic experiences; one that no parent, grandparent or sibling should ever have to face alone. This group provides compassionate care/support and foster a healing environment that offers hope for the future through holistic activities in nature, and mindfulness practices.

*** I am not taking on new clients currently, please be in touch if you are interested in being placed on a waitlist. I am holding group sessions in September, please see below.** Often times change is met with resistance, and as a therapist, I provide a supportive role in assisting others to recognize and overcome blocks, fear and distraction. Supporting healing in adolescents and adults whom wish to become their best selves, is fostered by a relationship built upon trust, compassion and open communication. I use a variety of holistic modalities, including mindfulness, expressive arts, DBT, and EMDR.
When we've been through something traumatic, we lose pieces of ourselves. We lose something. When we lose, we grieve. It is difficult going through something and feeling that you're going through it by yourself, because no one else understands. When we surround ourselves with people who have also been through trauma and grief, we realize, we're not alone. You're not alone. In this group, we will process trauma and grief of all different kinds and learn about how the body stores trauma and grief as well as how to resolve it within ourselves and our bodies.

Group meets in Saunderstown, RI 02874
Over twenty years as an ordained minister and equestrian I noticed how horses were helping me, so I developed Integrative Equine Therapy. In a non-clinical environment, a horse and IET Therapist create a safe space. We guide, encourage and support you in removing blocks, building new neural pathways from the trauma center to the conscious part of your brain, making it possible to respond rather than react to triggers. We call this "shifting perspective." With IET, you can find clarity of purpose, meaning and joy. Brown University's independent data on our therapeutic approach shows the success of IET. We work with all ages.

Grief Support Groups
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
