Hi! Thank you for viewing my profile.
I have 28 years of experience in providing mental health counseling to individuals and couples in the state of RI. I would describe my style as "warm" and caring. I love helping people reach their individual potentials. My therapeutic persuasion is primarily cognitive-behavioral. I truly believe that the way in which we think and perceive an event is based upon life experiences and has alot to do with how we feel. If we can change the way we think, we can then change how we feel. I like to work collaboratively with a client. I see my role as a facilitator, to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. Most of my treatment expertise is in the area of depression, anxiety and issues related to sexual orientation, gender identification and gender dysphoria.
If you choose to work with me, I promise to truly listen to your concerns and help you formulate a plan to address your issues.
Additional areas of focus: Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain illness and disability, Codependency, Commitment Issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Coping with Natural or Human-Caused Disaster, Family of Origin Issues, First Responder Issues, Gender Dysphoria, Guilt and shame, HIV / AIDS, Impulsivity, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Mood disorders , Panic disorder and panic attacks, Polyamory / Nonmonogamous Relationships, Post-traumatic stress, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues

Luisa, I can honestly say has saved my life. From one of my lowest points, Luisa guided me to realize and release so much that I had buried deep inside. With words, support and clear focus points, I have been supported every step of the way. I am bravely looking at life again because of Luisa.

Luisa is an extraordinary listener! I love the way she makes suggestions, as opposed to a more "Rogerian" approach. This is what I was looking for. With other therapists, I would often dread the meeting. Now, I look forward to them! I wish I had found Luisa years ago!!

Luisa is incredible! She has helped me grow and understand myself in so many new ways. And she has provided me with tools to use in my daily life.

I am very comfortable talking with Luisa, more then any other therapist I’ve worked with. She is straightforward and kind without resorting to “therapy voice” I feel confident that she understands where I am coming from.
