As a biracial woman who has faced personal trauma and loss, I’ve transformed my pain, anger, and grief into resilience, learning that broken crayons still color, reclaiming my power as the author of my own story, and using that strength to help others build healing and coping skills of their own.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings, as well as group living environments. My goal is to help people live with more intention and less out of habit by focusing on creating meaningful, balanced, and fulfilling lives. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, addiction, OCD, autism, and grief.
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Rhode Island College. My approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, and psychoeducation to help clients gain insight, develop coping skills, and promote long-term healing and growth.
I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all. My focus is to help you understand your thoughts, beliefs, and patterns while building on your unique strengths. Together, we’ll explore new perspectives, reduce triggers, and cultivate self-awareness. You’ve already taken the first step toward healing—let’s build the life you deserve.

In therapy, we will use different skills and techniques that are tailored specifically for you and your needs/goals. We all have different personalities and ways we perceive the world where we need to learn how to manage concerns/stressors that arise. Whether you are struggling with daily routines, time management and organizational skills, financial concerns, fear/worries, sadness, unhealthy coping skills, religious struggles, medical concerns, and more, we will work together to achieve the goals you desire in a holistic manner.
We all need someone to talk with in a world of "virtual reality" where we can work through the treasures of our hearts that we hold dear. Be encouraged; you are not alone. Talking to a stranger about your hurt, pain, sorrow, and disappointments is not easy, but you have the strength within you to reach out for help where you will have a warm and welcoming space awaiting you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

DBT is a wonderful therapy model! My go-to DBT skill is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a priceless skill almost anyone can benefit from.
In DBT, I enjoy teaching and empowering folks to use interpersonal effectiveness skills such as DEARMAN (describe, explain, assert, reinforce, mindfulness, appear confident, and negotiate).
A client can know they are making progress if they are more effective communicators, have greater emotional tolerance, and can be more mindful of their thinking!
Clients can and should engage in a meaningful life outside of DBT! They should work on finding and integrating things into their lives that increase their quality of life.
To prepare for the first DBT session, clients should familiarize themselves with the four domains of DBT and have an idea about what they’d like to work on!
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Attleboro, MA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
