About

As a woman of color, I understand the unique challenges and the importance of being able to balance work life.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I work with individuals who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—often battling anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood instability. My ideal clients are those who have tried therapy, medication, or other routes but still feel like something's missing. They're searching for real, lasting relief and a provider who listens deeply, understands their unique story, and offers compassionate, evidence-based care that goes beyond a prescription pad. My approach is holistic and client-centered—I don't just treat symptoms, I look at the whole person: mind and body.
Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and more in control of their mental health. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions safely. Together, we'll set realistic goals focused on symptom relief, coping skills, and self-awareness, and you'll never feel pressured.
As a PMHNP/FNP, I provide whole-person care that bridges mental and physical health. Symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, or mood instability can be influenced by thyroid disorders, hormonal changes, or other conditions. Many people have felt rushed or dismissed—I prioritize a judgment-free space where you feel heard. I'd love to support you when you're ready.

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.
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.

Having experienced both the highs and the setbacks life brings, I’ve learned that resilience begins within. There is strength in being your own strongest supporter, holding yourself accountable, and choosing to move forward — even when circumstances are challenging.
I am a dedicated mental health clinician supporting individuals across a broad spectrum of conditions, including generalized anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, grief and loss, self-esteem struggles, family conflict, and major life transitions. I also work with individuals navigating stress related to school, work, relationships, and legal or systemic involvement. I offer a steady, compassionate presence while encouraging accountability, resilience, and growth—meeting each person where they are and supporting them at a pace that is realistic and sustainable.
My approach is grounded in person-centered care, clinical structure, and practical skill-building. I integrate CBT, strengths-based interventions, and trauma-informed care to help clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier coping strategies. I'm someone who listens deeply and helps you build real tools for life outside of sessions.
If you've been quietly carrying more than most people realize, I want you to know that I see that. You deserve a space where you don't have to perform or overexplain. Wherever you are—overwhelmed, numb, motivated, or hesitant—you are worthy of support. Change doesn't require fearlessness; it simply asks that you be willing.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
