About me

Are you looking for a therapist who is passionate about making you feel respected, motivated, empowered and heard? Hello, I'm Rhonda. I have been in practice helping individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures for over 10 years. I am diligent in creating and maintaining a supportive, inclusive and collaborative environment that offers you a safe space for therapy. I have a deep and sincere understanding of your need for confidentiality, trust and respect. I am ready to take this journey with you. You will be heard and supported every step of the way!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, I focus on establishing a supportive, trusting and welcoming atmosphere for my clients. We will determine your challenges, obstacles and identify what specific areas are needed for improved overall functioning. We work together to create a custom plan that fits your unique needs and pace for treatment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a therapist, I create a judgement free environment and help my clients understand there is hope for their future. I am excited to be of assistance with any obstacles, concerns or struggles you may have. We can work together on either short or long-standing in-depth struggles. I am here and ready to help.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy helping children, teens and adults with their inner journey toward confidence, tranquility and balance within their lives. I help individuals that suffer from symptoms associated with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and mood disorder. My clients want to be better but often don't have the tools and skills to help them reach their goals and full potential. I am available to be of service to those who are in need of such guidance and support.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have utilized CBT for many years in both the correctional and community settings. The current events in an individual's life are acknowledged. The focus or goal is to move forward and develop effective ways to cope with their life by changing problematic thinking. An individual learns how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have utilized this form of therapy in both correctional and community settings. It helps an individual regulate intense emotions and harmful behaviors. This form of therapy goes more in depth to the root of a person's problems. A person accepts who they are despite their challenges or difficult experiences.

Psychoeducation

I feel that it's of importance to educate others during therapy sessions of interventions, coping skills and other subjects which will be impactful to the improvement and overall functioning in an individual's life.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Helps clients focus on future-oriented questions, validate feelings and incorporate affirmations.
