My Background

About Me

I am a practicing mental health counselor holding licenses in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Florida (Telehealth). I'm certified in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP), and Rosen Method Bodywork, and I'm an EMDR practitioner. I am also a certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher and a Mental Health Integrative Medicine provider.

I completed a bachelor’s degree from URI and in 2009, a master's degree in holistic counseling from Salve Regina University. In addition to 12+ years of private practice counseling, I have provided therapy services at substance abuse treatment and community mental health organizations.

Therapy With Me

I offer a warm and supportive environment where we work collaboratively to meet your personal goals. I draw upon relational, somatic and emotion-focused therapeutic traditions as well as mindfulness, expressive arts and other contemporary approaches. As a Holistic Mental Health Counselor, I attend to mind, emotions, body and spirit.   Feedback and reflections are explicitly welcomed and integrated into the therapy process. Working with me, you can expect a therapy experience that is experiential, integrative and uniquely adapted to address your individual needs.
