About Riley
Child, Adolescent & Adult Therapist

My Journey: Passion, Purpose and Commitment

Welcome to my therapeutic space! I’m Riley, and being a therapist has been my lifelong calling. From a very young age, I felt a profound desire to help others navigate life’s challenges and find their paths to wellness. It’s not just a profession for me; it’s a passion, a purpose, and a commitment to making a positive impact on people’s lives.

My journey in the field has led me to diverse experiences, and one significant chapter includes working with the justice-involved population within the challenging setting of a prison. This experience has equipped me with a unique perspective and understanding of the complexities individuals face within the justice system. I’ve provided both group and individual therapy, witnessing firsthand the transformative power of empathy, understanding, and support.

Therapeutic Approach

Empathy and compassion are at the core of my therapeutic approach. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through this process, my goal is not only to alleviate immediate concerns but also to contribute to the long-term well-being and personal growth of those I have the privilege to work with.

On a Personal Note…

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to fostering a holistic sense of well-being in all aspects of life. My values extend beyond the therapy room, emphasizing the importance of helping others and improving overall wellness. When I’m not providing mental health support, you’ll likely find me spending quality time with loved ones—my cherished family and friends.

Exploration is another facet of my life. I find immense joy in travel, discovering new cultures, and attending concerts that resonate with my eclectic taste in music. Additionally, I have a creative side and find solace in expressing myself through poetry and journaling. It’s a therapeutic outlet that complements my professional journey, allowing me to connect with the world on a deeper, more introspective level.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I look forward to embarking on this collaborative journey toward healing and personal growth with you. Together, we can navigate the challenges and celebrate the triumphs while fostering a sense of wellness that extends far beyond the therapy session.
