Life brings stress, change, grief, and unexpected challenges. Even when things seem manageable on the surface, those experiences can quietly affect how we think, feel, relate to others, and move through the world. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and develop healthier ways to cope and grow.
I work with adults navigating everyday stress, major life transitions, grief, pet loss, self-doubt, career pressures, relationship concerns, and questions around identity. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected.
Hello and welcome to therapy. You are one step closer on your journey to achieving your goals, passions, and intentions. You and I will develop a therapeutic relationship as you work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other areas that you would like growth in. You will utilize the strengths that you already have, and keep expanding on those. It is my job to create a safe, open, and person-centered environment. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey! Keep going and growing.
I’m a bilingual (English/Español) Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes therapy shouldn’t feel like a sterile doctor’s appointment. My clients are hardworking adults, professionals, and cycle-breakers who are tired of white-knuckling their way through the week. They come to me dealing with anxiety, massive burnout, ADHD, Autism, and the heavy weight of life transitions. They stay because I skip the clinical robot-speak and get straight to "real talk."
I know what it’s like to juggle impossible schedules, which is exactly why I designed my practice to fit yours. I offer weekend and late-evening virtual sessions so you don’t have to burn your PTO or stress about missing work just to take care of your mental health.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.
I'm Rhyanna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who is ready to help you lead a more fulfilling life. I enjoy treating those who are suffering with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting stress, ADHD, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions, grief, body image concerns and more. I am not specialized for any populations at this time and provide a general but effective approach.
