I aim to help adults overcome challenges that make everyday life feel chaotic. My practice is dedicated to equipping these individuals with tools to learn effective coping strategies and build lives that feel meaningful. I work to form an open, communicative, and constructive relationship with clients. My approach is open, direct, and compassionate, and I speak and interact with clients as my authentic self.

I am a clinical psychologist licensed in CT and RI. I help clients by combining concrete strategies with increased awareness of behavioral patterns. I am very experienced in evidence-based treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and treatment for PTSD (CPT and PE) or other trauma-related disorders.

I am currently accepting new clients for individual therapy and DBT skills training groups. I recognize that finding a therapist can be a difficult and confusing process. I am happy to offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
