About
My ideal client is a woman between the ages of 18 and 75 who is dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, depression; or is struggling with divorce, marriage, remarriage, stepparenting, or parenting. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help clients gain more awareness about cognitive distortions and self-defeating thoughts that trigger undesirable mood states and actions. I am also a couple's therapist who uses The Gottman Method to help couples build a strong fountain of love, trust, and intimacy. It focuses on building rituals of connection and "Love Maps" - ways of showing interest and appreciation. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and The Gottman Method of couples therapy. I specialize in working with adult females and couples. I can help them attain more self-efficacy and control of those things they can change - such as their mindset and self-defeating thoughts and behaviors that cause them and others emotional distress. I hope to hear from you if you are seeking an experienced therapist who is trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and other treatment modalities. I also have extensive experience in couples therapy and use the Gottman Method which is highly effective in helping couples repair from regrettable incidents, high conflict, and a lack of emotional attunement. Specialties: I work well with clients who are dealing with adjustment to lives challenges, college stress, work stress, marriage, divorce, stepparenting, parenting, and loss. I work with clients to develop a treatment plan which includes giving them more control over things in their life they can control - such as negative and self-defeating thoughts and actions. I help couples build love, trust, and intimacy. Credentials & Experience: I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I also specialize in divorce, remarriage, and stepparenting. I'm licensed in RI and MA and I'm trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method of Couples therapy.
"I often use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and many family systems models. With CBT, we'll examine how your thoughts affect your emotions, perceptions, and actions. During therapy, I will help you refute or challenge self-defeating thoughts so you will feel better. I also use the Gottman Method with couples to help clients achieve emotional attunement, love, trust, and intimacy."
