  • Founder and Lead Clinician
    Licensed in RI and MA

    I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. As the founder of Holding Hope Therapy, my passion is helping women, mothers, and families navigate anxiety, trauma, and the many transitions that come with different seasons of life. I hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) and specialize in working with neurodivergent moms, intergenerational trauma, and perinatal mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, with the belief that healing begins when we feel truly seen and supported.
