Great to meet you!

Hi, my name is Richard and I have 10+ years of experience specializing in trauma, relationships, and stress. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly heard and respected, but also walk away with practical tools you can use in your daily life. Whether you’re feeling stuck in old patterns or navigating a major life transition, I’m here to help you find your footing again.

My approach to therapy

In our sessions, I blend a warm, client-centered approach with practical, evidence-based tools like CBT and Motivational Interviewing. My goal isn't just to listen, but to consult with you on your journey—helping you gain deep personal insight while equipping you with the confidence and coping skills needed for daily life. We’ll work collaboratively to turn "feeling overwhelmed" into "feeling empowered," focusing entirely on your unique goals and the meaningful changes you want to see.

What you can expect from me

Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous act of self-care. I would be honored to support you in building a healthier, more fulfilling path forward. If you’re ready to start making those changes, please reach out or use my booking link to schedule a time that works for you. I look forward to meeting you and working together!
