Therapy & Strategy for High-Achievers, Caregivers & Neurodivergence
My practice is dedicated to helping individuals who carry significant responsibilities, often juggling demanding systems and needing tailored, expert support. I focus on three key populations:
• Specialized Therapy for High-Achievers & Professionals: You've mastered the art of "having it all together," but the relentless pressure has led to profound anxiety and fatigue. I help individuals who are constantly pushing themselves but feel disconnected or emotionally drained. By dismantling high-achiever perfectionism and the self-monitoring standards that fuel burnout, we build a sustainable path forward. READ MORE
• Trauma-Informed Caregiver Support & Stress Management: I specialize in supporting caregivers who are navigating the unique and often overwhelming challenges of caring for loved ones with developmental, medical, or chronic conditions. Whether you're struggling with fatigue, anxiety, or feelings of isolation, I am here to ensure that your well-being matters too. READ MORE
• Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy for Adults: I provide neurodiversity-affirming counseling (and social strategy coaching) for adults navigating life with Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, or other learning disabilities. I help clients understand and adapt to the challenges of executive function, sensory overload, and the stress of masking in a neurotypical world. We work to build personalized systems and authentic self-acceptance. READ MORE
Moving Beyond Survival to Thriving
My approach is built on nearly two decades of intensive clinical experience at leading Rhode Island institutions. I use that depth of knowledge to give you something practical: long-term skills you can use right away. Utilizing evidence-based modalities like CBT, ACT, and Family Systems, we move beyond just managing symptoms to develop a life that is truly sustainable for you.
• Building Firm Psychological Boundaries: Strategies that protect your energy and establish new rules of engagement.
• Mastering Emotional Regulation: Developing skills tailored to the intensity and fluctuation of emotions under stress.
• Creating Personalized Systems: Designing daily routines and coping mechanisms that work with your unique brain and life structure, not against it.
My goal is to help you reclaim your balance and resilience so you can stop surviving and start thriving—authentically and sustainably.

Evidence-Based Therapeutic Frameworks
My practice utilizes evidence-based therapies and a wide range of specialized techniques, including but not limited to, the following approaches:
Family Systems Therapy: Family Systems Therapy views an individual's challenges within the context of their larger relationships, focusing on patterns of interaction and emotional roles in your family of origin or current partnerships. By understanding how these system dynamics influence your feelings and behaviors, we can work to break cycles of conflict, establish healthier emotional boundaries, and address issues like anxiety, burnout, and processing systemic family grief.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We’ll work together to identify the specific thoughts and behavioral patterns that contribute to anxiety and stress, providing you with practical tools to achieve measurable change.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps you find peace by building psychological flexibility, allowing you to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings in a new way. It helps clarify your core values—what truly matters—so you can commit to actions that bring meaning and purpose back into your life, even amidst demands.
