I’m a clinical therapist licensed to practice independently in the state of Rhode Island.

Specialities:

Alcoholism and Addiction

Are you struggling to stop drinking, using drugs, gambling, over-eating or another compulsive behavior? Is a family member’s addiction affecting your life?

Trauma

Is unprocessed pain keeping you from thriving? Are you ready to speak about what feels unspeakable to begin healing?

Postpartum Depression

I’m the author of the Sleepless Days: One Woman’s Journey Through Postpartum Depression, the first PPD memoir published in the United States. I’m a survivor of PPD and can help you navigate this difficult, unexpected chapter of your life.

Parenting/Caretaking

Have you lost yourself as you care for minors or elders? Is new parenting bringing up old wounds?

Aging/Grief

Are you mourning the loss of a loved one, coping with a health crisis, or the learning to navigate the aging process?

Artists & Writers

Are you stuck creatively or emotionally? Before becoming a psychotherapist, I was a full-time author and creative writing professor. I understand the complex struggles of the creative class.
