Therapist

Location: Online Only for Clients located in Rhode Island

I am a pre-licensed counselor with a master’s degree in Holistic Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I spent the last 3 decades of my professional and private life facilitating healing on many different levels. I enjoyed working with people as a registered nurse, a yoga teacher (studio owner), and a Vipassana meditation teacher. I had the privilege of raising 4 children providing me plenty of opportunities to grow. I am a lifetime student of both the Western medical healing and holistic Eastern healing modalities.

My favorite therapy modalities are DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). While honoring my client’s needs, I bring my experience as a yoga and mindfulness teacher into our sessions. I chose to become a counselor in my late 50’s because I feel immense joy when I can help someone on their healing journey. You probably noticed that Life is never easy and maybe you need help figuring things out or simply just breath in the middle of a storm. No matter the reason you are reading this, I am very proud of you for deciding to seek help. I sincerely congratulate you for that. It takes courage, openness, and honesty to reach out for help. I am excited about the possibility that you might choose me as your future counselor to facilitate your healing journey.

I consider myself most helpful for adult clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief.
