About me

Hi, I´m Rhianna. Life is a journey filled with transitions, some of which can be profoundly challenging, especially as we grow older. If you or a loved one find yourselves grappling with the complexities of anxiety and grief during these times of change, you're not alone. I am a dedicated and experienced therapist who specializes in providing support and guidance to individuals navigating through difficult transitions. With a deep understanding of the unique emotional and psychological needs of individuals, I offer a compassionate and empathetic approach to therapy. My expertise lies in helping individuals cope with the intertwined issues of anxiety and grief, offering a safe and nurturing space for healing and personal growth. I believe that aging is a natural part of life, but it doesn't mean that you should face it alone or without the tools to navigate its emotional challenges. I am committed to helping you or your loved one regain a sense of peace, purpose, and resilience, even in the face of life's most profound transitions. In this therapeutic journey, I will bring together my professional expertise, warmth, and genuine compassion to provide the guidance and support needed to not only cope with anxiety and grief but to also rediscover the joys and fulfillment that life has to offer. Whether you're dealing with loss, adjusting to major life changes, or facing any other life-altering challenges, I am here to walk alongside you, offering a path toward healing and emotional well-being.

Get to know me

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

In our first session we will spend that time getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. We will set some goals for our time together, and in our following sessions we will work together to work towards those goals or revaluate for new goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I feel my biggest strength is always focusing on the positive and bringing to attention individuals strengths to overcome any challenge and instill confidence to continue growth on their own. If at any time you feel something is not working for you, I pride myself in being open to communication for constructive criticism and suggestions for change. This is a relationship, in which we are in a safe space to grow and discuss anything.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Older adults, grief, adults with anixety/depression.
