I am a Psychotherapist in Private Practice. My style is interactive and pragmatic, yet also reflective and insight oriented. I help people approach life transitions in hopeful, creative and fulfilling ways - whether in early adulthood, midlife, following divorce or loss, or in older age. I specialize in the identity work of young adulthood and work with many undergraduates, graduates and international students. My office is an easy walk from Brown, RISD, Johnson & Wales and downtown Providence. I help people develop more useful, creative and compassionate ways of understanding and working with themselves. My clients often tell me that the therapy has helped them feel much better, more hopeful and more meaningfully engaged in their lives. Special areas of expertise: Student Mental Health, Life Transitions, Identity issues of Early Adulthood and Mid Life, LGBTQ & Heterosexual issues, Decision Making and Creating a Meaningful Life
