I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in both RI and MA. I enjoy helping children, adolescents, and young adults with Autism, ADHD, and anxiety disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorders, phobias, and selective mutism to learn the tools necessary to help them feel comfortable and confident in themselves. Most of my clients' goals include learning to cope with fears and intrusive thoughts, developing positive communication skills, and increasing self-esteem, confidence, and compassion for themselves. I utilize exposure therapy, ERP, CBT, and DBT.
I am a visual learner and can be a bit of a procrastinator so I value accountability and clear, concrete goals which is something I also strive to provide for my clients. Whether you are looking for an empathetic ear to listen or weekly homework assignments, I will work with you to make sure you are getting everything you need to out of therapy.
Therapy is not 'one size fits all' so I offer a free phone call to get us started to see if we could be a good fit. It's important that you feel comfortable and heard by your therapist and that you see progress being made. If at any point I am no longer a good match for my clients, it is important to me that I can help them find a therapist who is.
