Message from Riki
Hi! My name is Riki. My goal in therapy is to meet you exactly where you are and create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children, with a particular focus on supporting women navigating complex divorce and domestic violence through a trauma-informed lens. I also work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and adjustment difficulties. My approach is client-centered and grounded in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. Together, we will explore patterns, build insight, strengthen coping skills, and develop practical tools to help you move toward the life you want to live. I strive to understand your unique experiences and support you in building meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. Your greatest strength is being you.

Get to Know Riki
How should I prepare for my first session with you?
Show up exactly as you are. I'm excited to meet you and get to know you, with everything you bring to the table. There is no "right" way to show up to therapy, whether you arrive with clear goals, lots to say, or aren't quite sure where to start. Our first session is simply an opportunity for us to begin getting to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy.
Are there any philosophies or values that inform your work that I should know about?
My work is guided by the belief that every person has inherent worth, dignity, and purpose, and brings something meaningful to teach and share, regardless of background or labels. I approach the therapeutic space with curiosity and respect, and I strive to understand each client’s unique strengths, experiences, and perspective. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we learn from one another.
From your perspective, what is therapy?
From my perspective, therapy is like a mental workout. An opportunity to strengthen and train the mind much like a muscle in the body. The work involves building self-awareness, noticing patterns, and gently exploring ways to shift unwanted thoughts, behaviors, or experiences. This process happens in a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space, always at your pace. Therapy is collaborative, and my role is to support you as you develop insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
How can you tell if I am benefiting from working with you?
You may notice you’re benefiting from therapy in different ways over time. This can include feeling more self-aware, better able to understand your emotions and patterns, and more confident in handling challenges. You might start responding to situations differently than you used to, or feel a greater sense of clarity, calm, or control in your life. Progress is not always linear, so we will regularly check in together about what feels helpful, what doesn’t, and adjust the work as needed to make sure therapy is supporting your goals.
