Everyone has highs and lows, but sometimes it can feel like life is stacked against you.
Add in the extra stress of work, relationships, and family; it can start to feel like you're drowning.
Interested to see some common examples my clients face?
Iām a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a lifelong Rhode Islander.
Over the past 10 years my clinical work has ranged across emergency room crisis intervention, mental health diagnostics, group therapy, health insurance management, and connecting clients with local available resources.
That experience has shaped my approach to prioritize the importance of helping clients set and achieve their goals, while still navigating the very real challenges we all face.
More specifically, I'm here to help you identify and leverage your existing strengths to create realistic and sustainable habits for issues such as burnout, depression, anxiety management, and difficulty communicating with others.
Evidence Based Practice
A framework emphasizing psychological flexibility by teaching the acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions instead of attempting to eliminate or avoid them.
ACT utilizes mindfulness and "difussion" techniques to help promote grounding in the present moment with the intent of reducing intrusive internal distress.
Over time, mental energy is shifted away from struggling with your feelings and toward committed action that aligns with your core values.
A therapy grounded on the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected.
The work consists of identifying and challenging "thought distortions" to help reframe perspective toward objectivity and balance.
This shift in thinking leads to improved emotional regulation and the development of healthier behavioral responses to challenge.
Motivational Interviewing is designed to strengthen an individual's motivation and commitment toward change.
MI is about exploring and resolving feelings of ambivalence to better identify the reasons and values behind making an important change or decision.
Solution Focused BriefTherapy is about preventing the over-analyzation of problems and shifting focus toward constructing solutions.
It leverages your existing strengths and knowledge to identify small, actionable steps toward a preferred future or outcome.
