Welcome to Solid Ground Providence. I bring over 30 years of experience working with individuals who are navigating the effects of trauma, stress, and major life transitions. My clinical training is grounded in EMDR and DBT, two approaches that are highly effective in helping people process painful experiences, regulate emotions, and build new ways of coping. Over the years, I have worked with clients from many different backgrounds and life circumstances, and I continue to be inspired by the strength, courage, and resilience that people bring to the healing process.
My approach to therapy is both compassionate and practical. I believe that healing begins in a safe and supportive relationship, where clients can feel heard, respected, and understood. In our work together, I strive to create a collaborative environment—one where we identify your goals, explore what may be getting in the way, and build strategies that feel realistic and sustainable. Therapy can be a space not only to address difficulties but also to rediscover strengths, deepen self-understanding, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
Whether you are seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, or simply want a space to grow and reflect, my hope is to help you strengthen your relationship with yourself and improve your overall quality of life. I believe that with guidance, support, and the right tools, everyone has the ability to access their inner resources and create meaningful change.
