I'm Nina, a licensed mental health counselor based in Newport, Rhode Island, specializing in OCD, anxiety, trauma, and the relational patterns that can quietly shape so much of our lives. My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), two of the most evidence-based approaches available for OCD and anxiety, and I bring a holistic, integrative lens to everything I do.

Therapy with me is real, collaborative, and human. I take an active role in sessions. We're not only exploring your problems, but we're working through them together. My approach blends evidence-based tools with warmth and a healthy dose of humor, because healing doesn't have to be heavy all the time.

I work with adults both in person at our Newport, RI office and via telehealth across Rhode Island. Whether you're navigating OCD for the first time, working through anxiety that's held you back for years, or untangling relational patterns rooted in attachment and fear, I'm here for all of it. My dog, Arlo, often joins sessions for a little extra comfort and warmth.
