Adoption Therapists in Newport, RI

Client focused and humanistic practice committed to the development, personal growth, and self determination in a rapidly evolving world. I offer an integrative approach with several trauma informed modalities as well as addressing general issues in treatment with adults, adolescents, and children. I strive to meet the individual needs of the client, providing telehealth or in person sessions.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Therapy is a process of growth. I have the tools and experience to help you get back on track.

Therapy takes patience and openness from all whom are involved in the process. I have counseled couples, individuals, and families trying to manage psychological, emotional, and behavioral stressors. Many of my clients are seeking help with PTSD, grief/loss, eating/body image issues, family/relational situations, and sexual concerns.

Do you have concerns regarding yourself or a family member? Has there been a family separation, divorce, abuse history or other reason for you or your child to be feeling anxious or depressed? My goal as a therapist is to help a client address thought processes, feelings and behaviors, understand inner conflicts, challenge negative belief systems and find new ways to cope with, and alleviate distress. I am a licensed psychotherapist with almost 20 years experience specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, body image issues, trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience in the field. I have worked with children, adults, couples, and families.

I will support you through the experience of working with your body, mind, and spirit, and assist you with making improvements in your life. Treatment is individualized. I work from a strengths based perspective. My practice is open to all people. Please visit my website for more information.

Over twenty years as an ordained minister and equestrian I noticed how horses were helping me, so I developed Integrative Equine Therapy. In a non-clinical environment, a horse and IET Therapist create a safe space. We guide, encourage and support you in removing blocks, building new neural pathways from the trauma center to the conscious part of your brain, making it possible to respond rather than react to triggers. We call this "shifting perspective." With IET, you can find clarity of purpose, meaning and joy. Brown University's independent data on our therapeutic approach shows the success of IET. We work with all ages.

Therapy is an individual support we need in our lives. I'm grateful you have decided to take steps in the direction towards mental well-being and stability. It can be a long road to get to where you are. I enjoy using practical approaches in therapy so clients have tools they can practice and use. I utilize evidence-based therapy methods and practices.

I love working with youth and their families. I am deeply passionate about assisting those I work with to find their voice again. I am skilled at helping others learn how to advocate, love, and believe in themselves. I believe that true growth only occurs when a person is allowed to shine. I enjoy working with college students, those who are navigating adjustments and change, LGBT+ and Black and other PoC populations. Anti-Racist and Feminist ideology inform my practice. I enjoy supporting those who have been historically excluded and do so with deep conviction and dedication.
