Granite Brook Farm Inc. is a non-profit therapeutic farm dedicated to enhancing community wellness through immersive experiences with our unique mini Highland cows (Coming soon), mini goats, and chickens. Located in Foster, Rhode Island, we offer a variety of healing services, including counseling and hands-on educational opportunities. Our work is guided by core values of unity, courage, equality, and peace.

We prioritize honesty, integrity, respect, compassion, and gratitude in our interactions with visitors and the broader community. Additionally, we sell farm-fresh eggs, promoting sustainable agricultural practices and fostering a deeper connection to our food sources. Through our diverse offerings, we create a nurturing environment that supports both individual and collective well-being.

No matter where you are in your life, I am dedicated to providing unconditional support, a reliable ear to listen, and guidance to help you become the best version of yourself. Together, we will work to understand and discover the best ways to handle whatever you are experiencing. I have traveled and lived in many states, but my heart always brings me back to the four seasons in Rhode Island. I would describe myself as compassionate, fun, real, and dedicated. I enjoy being a therapist because I have the privilege of impacting and empowering individuals in a way that could change the trajectory of their lives.

I focus on chronic illnesses such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, cancer, and more. Whether you are new to therapy or re-entering the process, it is important to find a clinical professional who is supportive, safe, and non-judgmental. I can assist you as you navigate your path and guide you to a healthier place, both inside and out.

Today, many people face nearly impossible work schedules, inadequate health coverage, employment relocations, disabilities, and economic challenges. I believe we must address these challenges head-on to help as many individuals as possible in the most affordable way.
