We’re not your traditional therapists
Our story
Reclaiming You Counseling was a dream that became a reality for two grad students at Salve Regina University in the Holistic Counseling Program.
How could we help others connect deeper within themselves? How could we help their connections with others strengthen and grow? How could we guide them through healing deep wounds?
Opening a group practice was the answer that spoke to us.
How we can help
Going on this journey of therapy is not an easy or quick process but it can have long lasting relief and healing. We can help you access the power and wisdom that you hold within your mind, body and spirit. Through our integrative and evidence-based approaches, we walk with you on the path of:
Realigning with your true self
Setting healthy boundaries
Living your life and not always being stuck in fear
Bringing more curiosity to how you’re feeling
Being more present for yourself and your relationships
Breaking cycles
And so much more…
What we provide
We promise we won’t make you lay down on a couch while we take notes! We may gently challenge thoughts and give you intentional homework, but you are the one steering the wheel. We strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we make room for whatever comes up. This is your road to reclaiming yourself and we would be honored to take your hand and be a witness.

A little bit about me
I began my journey as a holistic mental health therapist at Salve Regina University in 2012. I was drawn to the whole-person approach—the idea that there is an inseparable connection between our minds, physical bodies, and spiritual selves, each deeply intertwined with one another. That the experiences of our past have a strong influence on the person we are today. One cannot simply address a single aspect of oneself without considering all of the pieces of the puzzle.
Little did I know that my studies would be the spark to ignite my own internal healing process, which I continue to this day. I believe that it is important for me to be self-aware and to practice the same techniques I employ as a therapist in order to be my best self and fully present for you, my future client.
During my time as a practicing mental health therapist, it has been my honor to walk along side clients throughout various stages of their healing journeys. I have worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults, and currently specialize in working with adults, parents, and adolescents.
About my approach
What does it mean to reclaim you? In a world full of distractions and expectations, how can you discover your true self? What does it look like to strip away the roles we play for others (parent, sibling, student, our job titles) and uncover who we are at our core? To learn to listen to and honor our inner voice?
As your therapist, I hope to guide you to the answers to these questions, and more. I strive to provide a warm, safe, and welcoming environment that allows you to feel like you can be who you truly are without fear of judgement, and mix in a little bit of humor here and there. I utilize a trauma-informed, whole-person approach to meet you where you are at in your experience and provide you with tools and techniques to gently encourage you along the path before you. At times, you might even decide to blaze a whole new trail you never thought possible! At each step of the way, my goal is to help you learn to listen to your body’s wisdom and live in greater alignment with your authentic self.
Through my work with parents and families, I also understand the importance of receiving support throughout each stage of the parenting journey. A child doesn’t come with an instruction manual, after all! Our children can often become a sort of mirror that reflects back our own childhood experiences and wounds, which can bring up a sense of pain, unease, or frustration. Other times, you might simply be overwhelmed by the day-to-day emotional toll that being a parent brings. Together, we can work to recognize the source of the disconnects with your child(ren) or spouse, and how to work together with them to address both their needs as well as yours.
As we work together, we explore how to identify your emotions and where they might originate from. At times, the experiences of your past can be an unrecognized source of pain or unmet needs that often lead to the internal struggles you might face in your daily life. You might find yourself feeling triggered by certain situations, people, or places, which can be a trauma response that you are not yet aware of. Unhealed emotional wounds can leave you feeling on edge, resentful, depressed, anxious, or unsure of who you really are. As you begin to recognize these wounds, traumas, and triggers, you can learn to heal them so that you can better love yourself and those around you; to make room for a fun and fulfilling life while staying true to yourself. My goal is to guide you toward establishing a sense of safety and stillness within your body while feeling empowered to take control of your life.
If you are interested in working together, it would be my honor to walk the path of healing with you.

“And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in.”
— Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore.

Co-Owner, Holistic Therapist, Somasoul Somatic Therapist
Since starting my path as a therapist, I’ve learned and discovered more about myself and how I can help others than I ever imagined I would. It all began within the Holistic Counseling program at Salve Regina University. After going through this intense journey of self awareness and healing, I received my Master’s of Holistic Counseling in 2015.
Later on in 2015 I received my Reiki II certification.
From 2015-2017, I completed Core Energetics Training.
And I‘ve recently completed Somasoul Somatic Therapy Training.
To be honest, I was drawn to these trainings and teachings for a dual purpose.
One was for my own work and healing. I truly believe in walking the walk if I’m going to talk the talk. Which is to say that if I am going to provide therapy and healing to others, I need to also do that for myself.
Another reason is for you, my future clients. I have this innate passion and calling to help others. And learning ways to help that speak to me and meet my values is how I feel I am able to provide the most genuine and impactful therapy.
Through the years I’ve created my own integrative approach with all that I’ve learned. It stems from my roots in my learnings at Salve of the connection between the mind, body and spirit. With sprinkles of expressive arts, grounding, energy work, somatic awareness, movement, and so much more.
Whether I am working with individuals, parents or families, these are foundational pieces to the therapy I provide. Being trained in trauma work has also helped me to maintain a mindful lens with my clients. Within my work as an intensive family therapist over the years I have grown to have a deeper understanding and compassion for parents and families who are finding it hard to just get through the day. Many are in need of help to communicate, connect and learning how to repair their relationships. Change can happen if given the opportunity and I’ve been honored to witness this with many families.
As a parent in particular, there are many feelings that can come up as your child arrives and grows into their own person. You may likely face parts of yourself that you are not fond of and may feel shame about. What we work on together is learning about how those parts can come from the wounds of your childhood and how to become aware of that as well as what to do about it. There is so much healing that is needed within the child in all of us and I would be honored to help guide you on that journey.
