became a therapist due to several factors: 1) When I was 14 years old, a close friend completed suicide and until this day none of us close to him know why. This was the start to my journey. 2) After college I moved to NYC and began working in foster care and saw first-hand how trauma starts every and can have a lasting impact on an individual's life. 3) I have always had a passion for helping and assisting since my early years. These are the 3 key ingredients that played a major part into why I became a mental health provided.

Deciding to seek therapy requires a great deal of courage. You've taken a big step in simply considering this process. Many of my clients have found themselves "stuck" in their emotions, thoughts, sensations, and reactions. Most just want to feel better, want to move forward, and have had difficulty doing it on their own or with traditional talk therapy. Most of my clients have struggled with trauma, anxiety, depression, life adjustments, or general overwhelm. I prioritize safety and validation with clients, while building strengths and resources, so that we can work together to target what is keeping you stuck - all at your pace.

My view on therapy is very simple, though not always easy: 'through relationships, we heal’. Many of the barriers that inhibit healthy relationships include negative self-talk, fear of judgement, and our need to maintain a sense of control, especially when we are deeply hurt or wounded. Trauma does not discriminate and it does not wait for an opportune time to present, but we can make sense of it and heal old wounds that hold us back from really connecting with those we love.

Rejection can make us mask our authentic selves and move us farther from belonging. That’s why I’m dedicated to creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves. As an Asian-American and neurodivergent clinician, I get how hard it can be to navigate identity, belonging, and the weight of expectations— from ourselves or others. Together, we’ll grow self-compassion for all the parts that make you who you are—and with that, build confidence, feel more authentic, and live in line with your values.

My name is Riana, and it is my goal to be a safe, authentic person for you to share your experiences with. I take a relational approach to therapy – I want you to feel comfortable, open, and honest with me so we can successfully achieve your goals together. With my experiences, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I tie in various modalities into my sessions to meet my clients where they’re at in that moment. My roots are in CBT and DBT, and these themes are often present in my sessions.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school. I offer a unique systemic approach that includes parents in the treatment process that is not found in many other practices. This systemic approach is extremely affective and helps keep parents in the loop and helps families complete the treatment goal faster than other approaches. As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.

It happened again. Another restless night. Another day trying to put on a happy face. Another day working hard to keep all the worry, negative feelings, stress and exhaustion buried inside. You are overwhelmed and can’t understand how you got here. Life is stressful. Constant worry, anxiousness, sadness, feelings of emptiness, irritability are all ways that our bodies can respond to the stress of life. Painful life experiences have a way of making us feel trapped. Maybe something painful has happened to you or your child recently or in the past and no matter how hard you have tried to work through it, nothing seems to be working.
