Life feels heavy. You wake up wondering how things got so hard and why nothing seems to help. No matter how much you try to move on, the past has a way of creeping back in—showing up in your relationships, your thoughts, and your body. You’re tired of pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. You’ve spent so long holding it together that falling apart feels terrifying, yet staying the same feels impossible. Deep down, you know something needs to change. You’re ready to stop running from the pain and finally understand it—so you can start feeling like yourself again.

After nearly two decades in clinical practice, my own experiences with learning differences, co occurring challenges, and medical issues reshaped how I understand healing. I came to appreciate an approach grounded in the present, focused on solutions, growth, and meaningful change rather than endless exploration of the past. I found that insight alone does not create relief. My work is goal oriented, practical, and collaborative. I help clients identify patterns, overcome obstacles, and build lasting change so they can regain direction, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose in their lives and relationships moving forward.

Hi there, I'm Rickey! I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 7 years. My Master's in Social Work focused on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality and how our different life experiences shape how we navigate our surroundings. I recognize my client's right to self-determination, and I want to empower my clients to collaboratively come up with their obtainable short-term and long-term plans and goals. Let's further explore together how to make better use of the tools we've been working with and perhaps add new additional tools to the toolbox or not.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after a painful experience, therapy can help you feel more grounded and whole. I work with people who are carrying the weight of trauma—whether it’s a single event, a buildup of stress over time, or situations that left you feeling powerless or unseen. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening in your body and mind, and begin to untangle the patterns that no longer serve you. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
