I provide a supportive, practical space focused on helping you feel more balanced, grounded, and capable in daily life. My approach blends talk therapy with mindfulness, meditation, and yoga, along with evidence-based skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and CPT. I work with individuals navigating stress, emotional regulation, life transitions, and those exploring or living with neurodivergence. I also support clients recovering from narcissistic or emotionally unhealthy relationship patterns, with a focus on rebuilding self-trust, boundaries, and stability. Sessions are collaborative, structured when helpful, and tailored to how you function best. We focus on building practical tools, increasing self-awareness, and creating sustainable change that fits your everyday life. I offer telehealth sessions and strive to create a calm, approachable environment where growth feels manageable and accessible.
Our first session is focused on clarity and understanding what’s most important for you right now. We’ll talk through what brought you in, what feels stuck or overwhelming, and what you’d like to be different. You don’t need to have the perfect words — my role is to help make sense of things and identify where to start. Sessions are collaborative and structured when helpful. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, share observations, and help you begin connecting patterns between your thoughts, emotions, habits, and environment in a way that feels manageable and useful. By the end of the first session, many clients leave with: • A clearer understanding of what’s contributing to their current challenges • Insight into patterns that may be keeping them stuck • One or two practical tools or next steps to begin using right away This isn’t about rushing the process — it’s about helping things feel more organized, understandable, and workable from the start. If you’re used to more open-ended therapy, you may find this approach a bit more active and goal-oriented, with a focus on practical skills and real-life application.
My approach is structured, practical, and focused on helping you understand how you function—not just what you feel. I work well with people who want more than insight and are looking for clarity, direction, and usable tools. I support clients navigating stress, overwhelm, life transitions, neurodivergence, and patterns shaped by difficult relationships or life experiences. Together, we look at how thoughts, behaviors, and environments interact—and how to shift them in realistic, sustainable ways. Sessions are active and collaborative, focused on building regulation skills, increasing clarity, and developing tools that fit your daily life. My goal is for therapy to feel useful, with clear takeaways you can apply outside of sessions.
I work best with adults and teens who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or aware of their patterns but unsure how to change them. Many are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, or neurodivergence and struggle with overthinking, emotional intensity, or follow-through. I’m a good fit for clients looking for a practical, structured approach focused on building skills, improving regulation, and creating real, sustainable change in daily life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I incorporate mindfulness-based approaches to help you develop greater awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and physical responses. Rather than getting stuck in automatic patterns, mindfulness helps you notice what’s happening in real time and respond more intentionally. This work is practical and skill-based. We focus on building your ability to stay present, reduce reactivity, and create space between what you experience and how you respond. Over time, this can improve emotional regulation, reduce stress, and help you feel more grounded and clear in your daily life.
Mind-body approach
I take a mind-body approach to therapy, recognizing that how you think, feel, and function is closely connected to your nervous system and physical state. Stress, anxiety, and emotional patterns don’t just exist in your thoughts—they show up in the body as tension, reactivity, or shutdown. In our work, we focus on both. I integrate evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and ACT with somatic (body-based) techniques to help you understand your patterns and regulate your responses more effectively. This approach helps you not just gain insight, but develop the ability to feel more grounded, reduce overwhelm, and respond with greater clarity in real time.
Somatic
I use a somatic (body-based) approach to help you understand and regulate how stress and emotions show up in your body. This work focuses on building awareness and practical skills to reduce reactivity, feel more grounded, and respond more effectively in daily life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand and work with different parts of yourself, rather than fighting against them. This can reduce internal conflict, improve regulation, and help you respond with more clarity and stability.

Rick is great. He helps me become aware of things I'm doing that I could do differently, and I appreciate that.

Rick provides a holistic approach to therapy that I really resonate with. He integrates psychology and spirituality seamlessly, combing meditation, yoga, and therapeutic modalities to great effect. More than anything, he's a genuine, kind, caring and authentic person that builds a strong relationship with you.

Rick is an amazing person, full of compassion, insights and tools. I love how he listens and picks out key ideas from my rambling and has the ability to shine a light on both my strengths and opportunities to try new approaches for healing. The trauma I experienced was significant enough to admit that I needed help. Rick is an amazing guide helping me recover and see a future that is mine to create.
