I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in Rhode Island and Mass who is dedicated and passionate about helping others achieve success, whether in their professional pursuits or personal journeys. With an undergraduate degree in Social Work from Providence College and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Rhode Island College, I've dedicated my professional career to fostering change, championing advocacy, and developing young leaders. Prior to founding The Willow Tree, I spent many years in direct care working in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as a supervisor and Clinical Director of a large psychiatric hospital. Founding The Willow Tree seamlessly harmonized my fervor for clinical work and administrative expertise. My objective was to simplify access to clinical care, ensuring a comfortable experience for clients, while simultaneously affording clinicians the opportunity to focus on their passion without the administrative burden.  As a clinician I've worked with individuals in various stages of their lives, whether navigating difficult relationships, adapting to new roles and circumstances, managing daily stressors or seeking to advance their professional career. Regardless of what brings you to treatment, I am committed to making your experience meaningful. My approach is flexible and engaging with some sarcasm and humor along the way. I want sessions to be relaxed and comfortable so you can feel safe exploring how to move forward. I especially welcome individuals who are new to treatment or unsure about the process.

It is my goal for clients to leave sessions feeling challenged and motivated. I encourage you to contact our office. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey.
