Lesbian Therapists in Rhode Island
I am queer/ lesbian and my work with the queer community holds expansive & fluid definitions of sexuality & gender and strives to remove barriers to gender-affirming care.
Over my career, I have worked with many folks who are in process of evaluating their lives, relationships, and values. This may be in conjunction with a mood disorder, questioning their relationship with substances, or seeking an understanding of the intersection of their identity, life events, and socio-political context. My hope is that we both bring our authentic selves into the room, acknowledging the inherent and invisible differences and privilege we each hold. You do not have to feel entirely ready for change to reach out for help. We all deserve support, exactly as we are.

Imagine seeing your true self in the mirror for the first time. Not the image that everyone else sees, not who you "should be", but your perfect self. Whether your symptoms are causing you to feel anxious, depressed, unfocused, or lost, I can help. Upon meeting, we can work together to identify and clarify the image in the mirror that you have long desired to reflect.

How uncomfortable do you have to be to make a change? Sometimes we know we need to make changes, but aren't sure how to, when, or even what needs to change. Sometimes we need an empathetic ear to hear our stories to help us make sense of what we have going on in our lives. Whether it is career challenges, family or relationship issues, coming out a bit later in life, or the existential questions that have your mind racing, therapy can help dial down the noise so that you can hear yourself.

My commitment as a therapist is to provide a warm and affirming environment where clients can receive support metabolizing trauma and restore a sense of safety, trust, and authentic re-connection to themselves. Utilizing a psychodynamic approach that is nurturing, collaborative, and informed by an anti-oppressive framework, I work with clients to navigate the heartache of grief and loss, to explore how past relationship dynamics impact them in the present, to attend to ways of adapting that no longer serve them, and to learn new and alternative ways of relating.

I welcome you, to a safe, empathetic, and transformative space, to start your journey toward greater self-discovery and fulfillment. My warm, outgoing manner is interactive and authentic. I provide compassionate, honest, and engaged therapy. My empowering outlook includes new insights and useful strategies, for effectiveness and self-worth. I provide an integrated view, and coping and communication skills for all stages of adulthood. I will be glad to meet you, with your unique challenges, and your unique gifts. I believe in strengths, in hope, and in building a more meaningful life.

My areas of interest and specialization include: working with the LGBTQIA+ community, and exploring other intersecting aspects of identity, culture, and experiences of prejudice and oppression, anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, identity development, and relationship issues. I work hard to create and maintain a warm, supportive, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment in which clients can be open and more confidently explore parts of themselves and their lived experiences.

Do you want to make a big change in your life? EMDR Therapy intensives give you the opportunity to spend several hours a day, for 1-10 days in close proximity, with one therapist, focusing on your healing. We have all gone through hard things in life and often have internalized negative messages and memories from those times. These can block us from living the lives we really want. EMDR is a therapeutic approach that can heal those stuck memories and free up your energy for growth and new ways of living.

Like water under pressure, emotions always find a way out. They can manifest in a variety of life challenges and symptoms. I believe that everyone has the ability and power to heal themselves and I see myself like a flashlight you may sometimes need to pick up when you become overwhelmed by the darkness of your own struggles. I have a deep appreciation for and belief in the support and growth that comes from human connection. Counseling is a way to connect with someone to take a look at your struggles, values and goals and dive into them without judgement and with support.

I have a particular passion for working with couples, Women's/men's issues as well as anyone from the LGBTQ+ community. As a self-identified member of the Queer community, I am passionate about working with this underserved population and creating a safe space where LGBTQ+ people can receive support without having to explain their identity or experience.

I am a Certified Imago Therapist and am passionate about working with couples of all kinds. I help couples live out their wildest dreams for themselves and their relationships. Maybe your relationship/marriage is in crisis or failing. Maybe it's stagnant or full of conflict and, sensing this, your children are beginning to act out in ways that baffle you. Maybe you have become overwhelmed by parenthood and wonder how you and your spouse have managed to drift so far apart and feel so frantic and disconnected. My sessions focus on couples' strengths and resources rather than pathology.
