Hey there, I’m Rhonda! Do you have trouble managing anxiety and feelings of depression? Do you need assistance in processing a very difficult situation that you experienced? I help individuals identify problems that negatively impact their daily lives and work alongside them to address any barriers to their well-being. We can work together to address your spiritual and emotional needs to help you continue building a stronger sense of self. I also use mindfulness exercises and narration to promote self reflection and awareness. I specialize in working with Black women - including parents, teens and young women. I am a survivor who works with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual trauma and/or sex trafficking. I provide healing spaces for families who have endured generational cycles of abuse. I am queer friendly and affirming. I am very informed with my approach I prioritize relational health in therapeutic relationships. In our sessions together, I will bring an open ear, no judgment and compassion so that you are able to overcome any hurdles that you been feeling and experiencing. Most importantly, I want to be someone that can provide a safe space for you to be yourself.
I make it clear this is an informal space. I do away with respectability and expectations. That therapy is supposed to be by the book. I go based on what your need is.
I have expertise in working in the child welfare system, medical healthcare system, and behavioral health systems. I specialize in serving individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect. I specialize in working with Black women, pregnant and parenting individuals, and people who have chronic disabling conditions. I am able to help clients navigate issues related to their health and medical care, understanding their illness and expectations for treatment.
Young women, adult individuals with medical conditions, Black women, mothers, pregnant individuals, individuals who have experienced sexual trauma

I've just said farewell to a great therapist and had a humbling experience with another provider shortly after. I stumbled upon Rhonda and my intuition encouraged me to give her a try. Evidently, I'm glad I took that leap of hope. Every week, I'm excited to meet with this empowering clinician who creates a warm clinical space for you to share your thoughts. I've never encountered a provider who delivers her services so seamlessly that it feels like getting on facetime with a friend!
