Finding the right therapist is about more than credentials or areas of expertise. Feeling comfortable, understood, and able to be yourself in the room matters too. A free consultation gives us a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re looking for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Reaching out is meant to be simple. We’ll start with a consultation call so you can tell me a little about what you’re looking for, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of whether you’d like to move forward. If we decide to work together, I’ll help you with the next steps for scheduling and completing your intake paperwork.

You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. Our first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you, understand what has been going on in your life, and begin talking about what you might want from therapy. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and start shaping the work together from there.

I work with adults navigating a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, identity, life transitions, self-esteem, personal growth, and periods of feeling stuck or uncertain about what comes next. You don’t need to fit neatly into a particular category or diagnosis for therapy to be worthwhile.

Yes. LGBTQ+ affirming care is an important part of my practice and I welcome clients across diverse sexual orientations and gender identities including transgender and nonbinary individuals. I approach this work with intention, respect, and informed understanding. Therapy can include whatever parts of your identity feel relevant to you without assuming that your identity itself is the reason you are seeking support.

Yes. I welcome people in a wide range of relationship structures, including consensually non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships. My goal is to provide a space where your relationships can be understood within their own context, without judgment or assumptions about what a relationship is supposed to look like. People’s important personal relationships can take on many forms whether that is a monogamous partnership, polyamory, or chosen family. I approach counseling with a sex positive lens and am a kink informed therapist.
-
Yes. I offer in-person sessions at my Cranston office as well as telehealth appointments for clients located in Rhode Island. Some people prefer one or the other for a variety of reasons. We can talk about which option feels most comfortable and practical for you including a combination of the two.

Many people begin therapy with weekly sessions because it can help us build momentum and establish a strong working relationship. That said, the frequency of sessions can vary depending on your needs, goals, availability, and where you are in the process. We can talk together about what makes the most sense for you.

That’s completely okay. You don’t have to make a commitment to therapy before reaching out. A consultation can simply be an opportunity to ask questions, talk a little about what has you considering therapy, and decide whether taking the next step feels right for you.
