This is a group practice with multiple providers, including:
PVD Psychological Associates (PVD Psych) is a private psychology practice on the East Side of Providence, Rhode Island. Our mission is to provide the greater Rhode Island area with exceptional therapy, offering cutting edge and research-supported treatment by a team of highly trained therapists. We offer therapy for adults, college students, and adolescents struggling with anxiety, school/career concerns, eating disorders, infertility and women's health issues, and relationship difficulties. PVD Psych is a LGBTQIA-affirmative practice, and is one of few Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island LGBTQ Safe Zone certified providers. We strongly believe that everyone has the right to respectful and affirming, high quality care.
I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, mood, and eating disorders. I also am intensively trained in DBT and I frequently work with my clients to develop skills to manage their emotions, improve self-esteem, and work on difficulties in relationships. My approach to therapy is practical and flexible, with a focus on what works and keeping therapy moving in the right direction.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of treatment. As such, I maintain a warm and supportive therapeutic environment to explore my clients' reasons for coming to therapy and work to achieve specific goals. My primary aim as a therapist is to focus on my clients’ existing strengths and help them develop a sense of confidence in their ability to cope with challenges. My hope is for each client I work with to find and express their authentic selves and live a life in line with what is important to them.
I appreciate how challenging the process of change can be and have a great deal of respect for anyone seeking treatment. It is a privilege to accompany my clients on their process of self-discovery and growth, and see them achieve a sense of confidence in themselves, satisfaction with their life, and greater fulfillment. I look forward to hearing from you so we can talk about how I can be most helpful and we can begin this important process together.
