About

Hi, I'm Dylan, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping teens and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care.

I believe therapy is more than talking about problems—it's about building the tools and confidence needed to create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I incorporate evidence-based treatments, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients process difficult experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward the life they want to live.

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. My priority is to make the process comfortable, approachable, and centered on your goals. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you while focusing on practical skills and lasting growth.

I currently provide secure telehealth therapy for teens and adults throughout Rhode Island, making it easier to access quality mental health care from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

How I Can Help

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to face it alone. Whether you're dealing with persistent anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, or navigating a difficult life transition, therapy can provide the support and tools needed to move forward.

 What to Expect

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to make the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible.Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss what has brought you to therapy, and identify the goals you'd like to work toward. From there, we'll create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs and move at a pace that feels right for you.Sessions are conducted securely through telehealth, allowing you to attend therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Whether you're seeking support for a recent challenge or working through long-standing concerns, we'll work together to build practical skills, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change.You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Simply taking the first step is enough.
