Great to meet you!

As a Bilingual Educator and Surf Guide I have experience helping kids/adults ride the waves of life. I specialize in fusing Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Art and Motivational Interviewing on those therapy journeys. Surfing through 25 years as an educator and school counselor I have empowered youth with creative approaches to live life boldly.

A bit about my approach to therapy

With a heart rooted in love and experience, I support those facing anxiety, neurodiversity, sexual identity, ADHD, impulse control disorders and broader academic barriers. Guided by real-life stories of resilience, I empower individuals navigating pain and hope amidst the complexities of life.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Richelle's style is
