Lesbian Therapists in Bristol, RI

Being a psychotherapist for the past 20 years has and continues to be a journey with people that validates my belief healing and deep change is truly possible. The therapeutic relationship which is a special and sacred connection is by far the most essential ingredient to real shifts in our attachment systems and long held unconscious beliefs about ourselves and the world. My background is mainly centered in Body/Mind experiential psychotherapy. I help people to slow down and bring mindful awareness to their experience. This allows us to study together what’s happening in the here and now.

I have 25+ years working in the field of mental health with children, adolescents, and adults. My wide range of experiences provides me with the knowledge and skills to help people through difficult times in their lives and guide them through the challenges, and sometimes, difficult transitions and adjustments. My job is to provide clients with new skills that empower them to look at their issues from a new perspective and empower them to engage in a change process.

I work primarily with individuals struggling with grief: whether related to loss around death, illness, divorce or a break-up; as well as job termination and retirement. Life transitions of many kinds usually entail a grieving process-even positive ones such as a new marriage, career change, graduation from high school or college, a geographic move or the birth of a child. With these changes, you may feel uneasy that you are not as happy as you "should be". We are always writing the story of our lives. What do you want more of? What needs to be let go? I offer supportive space for that creative process; to reach for a bigger dream.

Everyone experiences challenging situations in their life. It's your honesty and self-awareness that has signaled you to reach out. You already possess the healing power of emotional, spiritual and social well-being. Reigniting your full potential is a goal that my years of professional counseling can help you achieve. I am honored to be available for our returning American Soldiers. I also enjoy Psychotherapy with individuals of the Transgender population. I have an expertise and soft-spot for Couples who have experienced infidelity problems. I believe that Grief and Loss is represented in many situations and I pride myself in Grief/ Loss Psychotherapy.

If you or your loved ones are feeling helplessly overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious my professional guidance and support may help restore your inner strength and health. While the ultimate power for change to a productive life is yours, as a licensed counselor, my role is to help you connect with your thoughts, feelings, your present state of being, and your desired meaningful life style. My goal is that you would acquire coping strategies to be in control of your situation.

Therapy offers a safe port in the storm allowing you to take time for yourself ~ to strengthen your mind, body and spirit.

Success, change, happiness, hope, kindness, balance - these, among other traits, are things that we strive for & work towards in life but at times feel like they are completely & totally out of reach. Sometimes there are roadblocks & barriers that make the future seem unobtainable and that there is nothing but darkness ahead. It's moments like these that define us. When we are at a crossroads and important choices need to be made - this is where I come in. I wish to offer support, guidance, and help with the hope and intention that together, change can happen, skills can be built and goals can be attained.

Therapy takes patience and openness from all whom are involved in the process. I have counseled couples, individuals, and families trying to manage psychological, emotional, and behavioral stressors. Many of my clients are seeking help with PTSD, grief/loss, eating/body image issues, family/relational situations, and sexual concerns.

I believe that each individual, when supported with dignity and respect, has the innate ability to achieve their personal goals, reduce stress and increase their enjoyment of life in a positive and productive way.

401-284-6910. I offer face to face holistic coaching in my office, your home, office or organization. My main modality is Holistic Expressive Arts through movement, art, voice and music. However, I also, offer traditional coaching through talk to process experiences, and, gain insight and understanding of issues presented. I assist clients in recognizing priorities, and the important values of their personal and professional lives. Please not holistic coaching is best in crisis situations or short term directional coaching situations. Thank you.

I am NOT accepting new patients currently As we move through life, we may find we become anxious, depressed, begin to lose sleep, become more irritable, or turn to unhealthy habits to help us feel better or simply survive. We also may start to ask deeper questions, like "Why is this happening?", "Where am I going to end up?", and even "Who AM I, anyway?" The treatment approach at Cairn Psychotherapy addresses both the psychological and spiritual aspects of our challenges, identifying coping strategies and skills that will help you move forward on a healthier, more content, path.
