We offer treatment plans, customized to maximize successful outcomes, for each person seeking services. Rhonda is a compassionate professional, empowering clients with a collaborative, strength-based approach to therapy, using clinically tested, evidenced-based interventions.

I have extensive experience helping clients develop inner strength, wisdom, and empathy. I am invested in my clients and use this expertise to bring deeper awareness and compassion to those I serve. Through integrating numerous systemic therapy techniques, my collaborative approach aims to uncover dysfunctional patterns that perpetuate or contribute to destructive loops. In a warm, collaborative atmosphere where feedback about the process is communicated, my tailored approach allows my clients to cope with extreme stressors. It cultivates an environment that allows them to function authentically.

**Currently Accepting New Clients** Mental health is important now more than ever as increased solitude and stress can only heighten symptoms that are already plaguing individuals, couples, and families. It is increasingly important to take the steps necessary to maintain that health through seeking a trusting and empathetic source of support and connection.

I treat individuals, couples, families, and groups. I am experienced working with individuals struggling with Eating Disorders including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder. I also treat Mood Disorders, Anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Additionally, I provide relationship coaching services to individuals and couples. I work with clients to provide individualized care with an emphasis upon mindfulness, respect and empowerment. I am interested in working with the community to provide Eating Disorder awareness and prevention programs for schools, colleges and professionals.

As a therapist, I am committed to honoring your autonomy, perspective, and experience in order to collaborate with you to reach your therapy goals. I view each person through a non-pathologizing lens and am committed to using my skills and resources to facilitate healing experiences during our time together. I strive to foster authentic relationships, offer challenges to facilitate growth, and empower individuals, couples, and families to actively engage in the process of healing.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and it can also hold meaning. Although both can be true, making sense of it all while maintaining a secure connection with others is not an easy balance. Genuine and authentic relationships offer the unconditional support that is essential in building the foundation we need to explore who we are, what we value, and how it all impacts the lives of the ones we love.

I provide a safe and compassionate environment for children, teens, and adults to share their experiences and learn new skills. Your story and the meaning of your story are genuinely important to me. My desire is to help you experience connection, healing, and hope as you work toward your goals. Your collaboration and autonomy are important to me as I support you in processing your experiences, utilizing your strengths, and achieving your desired changes. I also utilize Play, Sand Tray, and Art Therapies in addition to Psychotherapy.

I focus on self-compassion, shame reduction, and distress tolerance. My goal is to support you to reach a greater acceptance of self, facilitate healing, and improve quality of life. Taking the first step to attend therapy can be anxiety provoking. I focus on client's needs to help them reach their goals.

In our busy and sometimes stressful lives, self-care is imperative. Tending to our own mental health may become necessary if the struggle becomes overwhelming to manage alone. Once you've made the decision that therapy is the next step for you, finding the right neutral, compassionate, non-judgmental and empathetic therapist is of the utmost importance. My mission is to build a therapeutic alliance with you using a collaborative approach to reach your goals. The evidence-based approaches and interventions that I use are designed to assist you in further identifying and tapping into the strengths you already possess.

Do you feel frustrated, anxious, sad, confused, hopeless, or hurt? Do you need something different? Are you ready for change?

I work with individuals, couples, families, or groups. Whatever your needs, there IS hope.
