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'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!
