Hi, I'm Riley, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) passionate about helping individuals recognize their strengths and create lasting change. I believe therapy isn't about "fixing" someone—it's about creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward a life that feels authentic, balanced, and meaningful to you.

I've worked with adolescents and adults supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, trauma, and transitions. I'm passionate about holistic wellness and how movement and fitness support healing. I hold certifications in WAG Nutrition and Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting.

I take a collaborative, compassionate approach to therapy. Whether exploring coping skills, processing experiences, or improving relationships, I help you build on your strengths and create meaningful change. Reaching out can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate challenges alone. I look forward to walking alongside you.

"One of the biggest lessons I've learned—both in my own life and as a therapist—is that healing isn't linear. There are seasons of growth, setbacks, and rediscovery, and each has something valuable to teach us. My own journey introduced me to the powerful connection between mental and physical wellness, which continues to shape how I support clients today."

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

To help others.

What types of clients do you work best with?

Clients who are willing to engage, and want to help themselves.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

The process isn't always in a straight line. sometime you will have set backs and take a few steps back. its normal and a part of the process.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

Building rapport, getting to know their dynamics, past.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

I always take a holistic approach and i am really big on moving your body, exercise, eating nourishing foods.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

I meet clients where they are at and give them that space.
