Hello, I’m Lizzie! I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and seniors. I also have a certification as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma informed therapy. I provide  teletherapy and in-person therapy for RI residents.

I started my career with the working elderly and developmentally delayed adults – in teaching and case management positions. Over the years, I’ve worked as a hospice and home care social worker, and as a community based therapist; I’ve also made many home visits, visited clients in schools, nursing homes and long-term care facilities. I also started a nonprofit to support the psychosocial needs of developmentally disabled adults.

Over the years, I’ve worked as a hospice and home care social worker and as a community-based therapist; I’ve also made many home visits, visited clients in schools, nursing homes and long-term care facilities. In Washington state I started a nonprofit to support the psychosocial needs of developmentally disabled adults.

I completed my internships as a school social worker and adoption/ foster care social worker. Through these experiences I gained insight and knowledge regarding the challenges that individuals and families face throughout the various life stages.

My values include honesty, compassion, kindness, and respect for ourselves, others and the earth; along with personal growth. Having been raised in a military family, I learned to be tolerant and respectful of others’ differences and opinions; and the importance of adapting to changes in our family life and our world. As an adult, I strive to live by and build my practice around these values.

I enjoy reading, and attending webinars & seminars- there is always something new to learn in the therapy world! Recently I have focused my learning on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), mindfulness, play therapy, and trauma therapy, all of which are of great interest to me.

My goal is to put myself out of business- for you to “graduate” from therapy. Together we will build a toolbox full of resources that you can draw on throughout your life as you face new challenges – so that you can be your best self, and live your best life.

I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and social worker. I will strive to help you find peace on your path forward. I will work to meet your unique therapeutic needs, and tailor your therapy to the situation you are struggling with. I want to be here for you. I will listen and support you in your experience, and what you are going through.
