I believe that you are the expert of your life, and together we can help you achieve your goals of developing a life that is happier and more meaningful.
Sometimes life throws us curveballs, and we might feel stressed, overloaded, or struggle to make decisions. You might be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, mood dysregulation, unhealthy relationship patterns, major life decisions, professional and academic performance, or parenting issues. These challenges might be keeping you up at night or are interfering with your peace of mind. As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients, to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Life is a journey and it is difficult at times for all of us.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts & Rhode Island. I work with adults, couples, children, teens and their families. My approach is unique in that it involves individual self exploration, discovery rather than diagnosis and treatment plans with a focus on overall well-being and improved mental health functioning. My work is based on relationship building which always begins with the client's relationship with self. My work with children, teens has a strong family component, my work with couples begins as individual work since evaluating and supporting each partner's mental wellbeing is of equal importance.

I am currently accepting new clients. Therapy can be hard to start but it’s so rewarding. Anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and ADHD are my specialities. These things can cause all kinds of discomfort in everyday life - feeling nervous, overwhelmed, unsure of yourself, and disconnected. But this doesn’t have to be a way of life. Instead, you can feel comfortable in your own skin, confident in what you have to offer and at peace with who you are and what you’ve been through. You can make sense of your life and feel good about yourself.

Stress has become a standard part of life.
*NOT CURRENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS* Welcome to my psychology practice. Intimate relationships are challenging for just about everyone. Keeping a passionate connection alive over time requires unique skills, persistence and determination. I work with individuals and couples who wish to deepen emotional or sexual intimacy, improve communication, strengthen their romantic bond, heal from affairs, and folks who feel addicted to pornography or other sexual outlets, as well as depression, irritability, anxiety, etc. Probably the best way to get a sense of me quickly is to read my Psychology Today blog, The Future of Intimacy.

I am interested in the body/mind relationship and transforming negative thoughts/feelings to positive thoughts/feelings to live a more peaceful, fulfilling and personally powerful life.
I am always curious about how we become who we are and as someone once told me, “A person who enters therapy is an experience that wants to happen not a problem to be solved.” My focus is to encourage people to stay curious and open to possibilities of learning more about themselves, creating a supportive safe environment that supports positive movement and change. I stress the importance seeing oneself fully, psychologically, physically and spiritually. All these are important ways of supporting one’s life. I see myself as warm, present, accessible and being of help to accomplish this.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
