My ideal client is someone starting to question if the way it’s always been is the way it has to be. We learn how to survive in one environment but that doesn’t mean we will thrive in a different one. Letting go of what used to serve us isn’t easy. I work with individuals who are ready to make changes in their life in order to build a life they don’t feel the need to escape from.

I treat folks with anxiety and depression, relationship issues, those in crisis due to major changes in their lives, and loss and grief issues. An ideal client is one who is willing to explore and challenge their negative thought patterns to improve their quality of life and develop self-compassion.

For the past twenty years my professional practice as a psychotherapist has co-evolved with my personal practice as a meditator and a student of Buddhist thought. As a result, the work I do with clients draws on wisdom from both Eastern and Western understandings of how suffering arises and how we can either ease it, or magnify it, with our choices of thought and behavior. My goal is to create a space of curiosity, compassion, and humor where we can identify the troublesome patterns in your life and develop wise responses to them.

Currently in private practice in both Louisiana and Rhode Island, I offer individual therapy and psychological assessment to adults. Whether you have a problem to solve, goals to achieve or need emotional support, therapy can offer a safe space for an individual to disclose information and receive supportive, non-judgmental feedback, while learning skills to improve yourself. I am best suited to help you with mood difficulties, such as depression; self-esteem and identity problems; stress and anxiety; substance abuse problems; employment struggles; and relationship problems.

I have been in private practice at the same location over thirty years. I describe my therapeutic perspective as Solution-Focused, Insight-Oriented psychotherapy. My practice is general psychotherapy, but I use Hypnosis when clients consent to, or request this technique. I use hypnosis with clients presenting with various issues. It has been a useful tool. Most clients report leaving the session feeling more relaxed and report positive changes throughout treatment.

I believe counseling is a holistic, healing and empowering process. There are many times throughout our lives when we get stuck in transitions, feelings, or in our own mind. Counseling helps us get comfortable within ourselves. It creates self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-compassion which in turn changes our perspective as we walk through our daily life.

Have you seen a few therapists but felt that you were unable to get to the roots of your issues and experience transformational change and lasting relief? Desensitizing the body's threat response creates the internal safety to respond to situations in a healthier way. I work with clients who are looking for new ways to cope with life, and seek to change the behaviors and thinking patterns that are no longer serving them. The way that we think and feel about ourselves has a profound impact on our quality of life and how we work through our problems.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
