As a dedicated Telehealth therapist, I'm committed to promoting your personal growth and emotional well-being. Whether you're a teen, young adult, adult, or a parent, I'm here to support you through life's challenges. I blend various therapeutic techniques to provide a unique and individualized experience for each client. My goal is to offer a supportive and empathetic space where you can explore your feelings and work towards positive change. Together, we'll identify the best strategies to help you navigate obstacles and achieve your personal goals, ensuring you feel understood and valued throughout our journey.
In my practice, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and transform unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. I also incorporate Internal Family Systems, Solution Focused, and Narrative Therapy to help you explore your internal world, enhancing self-awareness and self-compassion.
To ensure a supportive environment, I integrate Person-Centered and Humanistic approaches into our sessions. This means you'll feel heard, valued, and empowered. My goal is to create a warm, empathetic space where you can comfortably express yourself and work towards your personal goals.
I received my Master of Social Work from Rhode Island College in 2024 and am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Rhode Island.
