About
As one who has experienced personal challenges with anxiety and ADHD, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by our mental health and how building life skills can empower us to make changes in our lives.
I’m a licensed therapist with 8 years of experience supporting teenagers, young adults, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I’m passionate about helping people develop healthy, sustainable coping skills so they can feel more grounded and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate motivational interviewing and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to support meaningful, lasting change, while maintaining a humanistic lens that centers each person’s unique experiences and values.
I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives, and I work collaboratively to help them build on their strengths and move toward what matters most to them. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—whether that shows up as difficulty focusing, managing emotions, or breaking patterns that no longer serve them.
Together, we focus on increasing self-awareness, building practical coping strategies, and creating realistic, values-driven steps toward change. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, empowered, and connected in their lives.

I believe in the power of stories—the ones we are told and, most importantly, the ones we tell ourselves. Sometimes, we need a change in perspective to understand ourselves better.

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Providence, RI will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.
Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.
