Have you ever experienced a difficulty that left you feeling isolated, or found yourself in a relationship that didn’t make sense? These experiences are deeply human and can leave us feeling unsettled and hurt. I enjoy connecting with people and supporting them through life’s more vulnerable moments. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space grounded in ethical, nonjudgmental, and sex-positive, kink-aware care, where clients can speak openly. I prioritize trust, direct communication, and authenticity, believing meaningful growth happens when people feel seen and respected.

I work with clients navigating complex trauma, dissociation, and neurodivergence, often people who have tried therapy before and left feeling more confused or unseen than when they started. I have a particular passion for supporting dissociative and LGBTQ+ clients, drawing on lived experience as a neurodivergent person with my own dissociative disorder. If you've never had the words to explain what's happening inside you, or sensed there's more going on than a typical PTSD diagnosis captures, I get it, and I won't need you to explain the basics first.

Hi, I'm Riana! If you've spent most of your life feeling like your emotions are too much or like you're constantly bracing for something to go wrong, you're not broken. You're probably just exhausted from carrying more than most people realize. I work with adults who grew up having to figure things out on their own, often because the people who were supposed to be there for them were unreliable. Maybe your parents or caretaker was unpredictable, dismissive, selfish, or just emotionally unavailable. That kind of upbringing leaves scars not just in your memories but how your nervous system reacts and how you relate to the world.

I view therapy as a space for you, the client to be unequivocally yourself while recognizing that there are so many internal and interpersonal factors alongside systems in place that may contribute to the pain, anxiety, and discomfort one feels. You are the most important person in your own life, and once you start to care for yourself in healing ways, this can be extended to others who you care for and love. I believe that it is important to walk patiently with every individual and I also believe that it is important to discuss how cultural beliefs and societal roles may influence one’s perception and experiences.

You might be someone who feels a lot and wonders why relationships or emotions feel so heavy. Maybe you worry about being too much, not enough, or about being left or misunderstood during times of change in your life or family. For kids and teens, this can look like big feelings or shutting down. For adults and couples, it might show up as distance or feeling stuck. As an adoptee and a parent with lived experience of early medical stress, I understand how uncertainty and separation can shape families. You don’t have to do this alone, even if you’re not sure what you need yet.
