My Approach to Helping
Welcome and thank you for your interest! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts with a Masters in Social Work from Boston College. I have 20 years of experience helping clients work through personal challenges. I focus on developing and fostering a safe, non-judgmental space in which clients can more comfortably explore their struggles and barriers to self-fulfillment. My approach to therapy is integrative and draws on multiple modalities (e.g. cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, trauma-informed, interpersonal, mindfulness-based), thus allowing me to tailor how I work with each client as an individual.
I am passionate about treating survivors of all types of trauma and have advanced training in prolonged exposure therapy. I help clients with depression and anxiety, grief, and loss issues, and have over 15 years of hospital-based social work experience, helping clients work through end-of-life issues, sudden traumatic losses, pregnancy losses, and difficult diagnoses.
I am a former EMT (emergency medical technician) and have previously worked with veterans and public servants.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey!
