Therapy can be hard. It's not just showing up; it's allowing yourself to feel, process and heal the wounds from the past or present. Rainer Maria Rilke once wrote, "No feeling is final". It's simple. It's true. And yet, when we're in the midst of anxiety, grief, trauma responses or depression - this line doesn't always feel true. Sometimes you need additional support and strategies to support you when the wave threatens to overwhelm. My mission is to create a collaborative and healing space for you, one that allows you to learn skills that support your therapeutic goals - and helps you ride the waves that life may throw your way. My specialties include: recovery from substance use, healing from grief & bereavement, anxiety and depression management, assisting in life transitions and stress management, as well as helping clients gain skills and insight to manage trauma responses. In addition, I am trained in EMDR, an evidence-based trauma treatment. Whether your goals are to surf life's waves, to learn to respond vs. react, to quiet your body / mind or to better navigate other challenging moments, I'm ready to support and work with you to achieve those goals. I'm a licensed clinican in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, currently seeing patients online.
