I like to solve problems. I use a strength-based, Imago couples trained, family systems approach. I focus on reducing relationship conflict, improving communication, and developing closeness for individuals, couples, and families. I am skilled in making positive changes happen. I lanched WellnessRI because I believe integral to a caring approach is coordinating with other medication and counseling providers in the practice.

As a therapist, I can provide a safe environment that is free from judgement; listen to clients with compassion and understanding and be an objective person for you to talk with. I tend to suggest strategies or coping skills that may be effective for your personal situation; help you assess the skills to determine if they were effective and work with you to refine the skills or try another approach. It is my goal for you to feel better and to reach your personal goals.

My practice includes adults who experience trauma, anxiety and/or stress/depression grief and/or life transitions: launching kids, divorce/breakups/loss of loved one, co-dependency issues, parenting and sleep hygiene.
Welcome. My clients are looking for an experienced therapist who helps them develop goals and suggests "homework" assignments--giving them feedback and practice outside of session. They might feel "stuck" and want relief fast, but are willing to examine how they got here. We focus on strengths, what they've done that is working, and self-care (whole person) as a priority. Relationships are important to them as is learning how to communicate and set boundaries effectively. The family we grew up in can shape us in different ways, which is why I do a family tree with every client I see. Licensed in RI and Massachusetts Telehealth.

I have a history working with adults, children, couples and families. I enjoy working with a diverse population. Change is inevitable in life however how one moves through it is up to the individual. Behavior is changeable but only by the person that has the behavior not by his/her partner, parent, friend etc.

I enjoy helping people find balance and discover/rediscover their inner strength while navigating through the challenging times and transitions in life. Life is full of surprises; while some are amazing, others can be devastating. Big life changes, such as moving away from home to go to college or for a job, having a baby, or getting divorced/breaking up, can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. It's normal to have feelings of anxiety and/or depression, especially during change & trying times, but it's also important to get the support you need to get through the difficult times & get back on track with the help of therapy.

My specialty is "COUPLES." The work I do with couples is not covered by insurance(s). I specialize in using Imago relationship therapy, attachment theory, somatic therapy & neuroscience. The issues that concern couples are usually styles of communication, infidelity, conflict, racial distress, commitment & navigating differences. I work with couples on a "short-term" private intensive basis beginning with a 2-hr assessment that gives you hope and insight into areas of strength and growth. My philosophy is grounded in the idea that relationship are an adventure to be had; not a problem to be solved.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
