Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Providence, RI covered by Aetna

I am currently accepting new clients. I provide children, teenagers, and adults a safe and supportive place to get help with emotional or behavioral challenges. I customize each treatment plan to the patient's preferences, using traditional medication management and/or integrative psychiatry to provide a holistic approach to improve each patient's mental health and overall balance, helping you be happier. You are not alone; I can help you throughout this journey.

Graduated from Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania, I bring over 8 years of experience in the psychiatric and mental health field, caring for patients at Johns Hopkins Medicine, Sheppard Pratt Hospital, St. Joseph Medical Center (University of MD), St. Vincent's Villa (Catholic Charities, MD), and Thundermist Health Care (Rhode Island).

My goal is to help you function at your best while building confidence and stability. I genuinely care about my patients. Together, we can find a path for you to live your best life. Give me a call or send me a text for a brief free introductory chat, no commitment required.

The idea of going to therapy can be overwhelming, especially when your thoughts and feelings feel out of control, complicated, or just too private to share. Many people have thoughts and feelings they don’t talk about; they don’t want anyone to know about. I believe that choosing to engage in psychotherapy is courageous. Many people who come to therapy feel frustrated or stuck in unhealthy thinking patterns, confusing relationships, and uncertainty about their career. Therapy provides a confidential, non-judgemental place to gain a deeper understanding of your feelings, gain clarity in your thoughts, and learn ways to cope with complicated aspects of life.

I have worked in human services for over 20 years and provided psychotherapy for the past 10 years, primarily working in community-based primary care settings. This experience has given me the opportunity to meet people from a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences. Understanding that each person is unique, I provide a tailored approach to therapy.

This wild, painful, beautiful human experience can be a lot to process on our own, and it can be empowering to sort it out with a compassionate mental health professional who can be a support throughout your emotional growth. I am committed to showing up with empathy and gentle curiosity in collaboration with my clients. I am licensed in and seeing clients in Colorado and Rhode Island.

I have a passion for working with visual artists, writers, poets, musicians, and designers. I am an artist who believes that creative expression can be a way to engage the healing process and help us make meaning in this tumultuous world. I love working with artists and creatives, but you do not need to identify as an artist or creative to collaborate in therapy with me. We all hold the potential for creative healing engagement with ourselves, in relationships, and in the world. I welcome the opportunity to work with clients of all backgrounds and identities.

I received my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, my MFA in Visual Art from Rutgers University, and my BFA in Visual Studies from Iowa State University. Before I became a counselor I spent fifteen years teaching studio art and cultural studies courses at colleges and universities across the United States. As an artist, writer, former academic, and mental health counselor, I have dedicated my life to creating connection and depth in relationships.
