Are you looking for a therapist who is genuinely committed to helping you feel heard, respected, supported, and empowered? Hello, I'm Rhonda, and I believe that everyone deserves a safe, compassionate space where they can openly explore life's challenges without fear of judgment. With approximately eight years of direct counseling experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. My professional journey includes providing counseling services in community mental health, correctional settings, and private practice, along with additional experience as a mental health professional in a forensic psychiatric environment. I am dedicated to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and collaborative therapeutic environment where your experiences are valued and your individual needs are respected. I understand that trust, confidentiality, and mutual respect are essential to building a meaningful therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, navigate life's challenges, and develop the confidence and tools needed to move toward greater emotional wellness and personal fulfillment. **You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and tranquility. Together, we can work toward meaningful and lasting change.**
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.
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.
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.

I believe that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and can significantly influence how we experience and respond to life's challenges. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I provide a supportive, collaborative, and goal-oriented approach to help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns, challenge negative beliefs, and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to difficult situations. Together, we will explore how your thoughts influence your emotions and behaviors while identifying practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other emotional challenges. My goal is to empower you with effective coping skills, strengthen your self-awareness, and help you build the confidence and resilience needed to create meaningful, lasting changes that support your emotional well-being and personal growth.
I believe that gaining a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an important step toward healing and personal growth. Through psychoeducation, I provide information and practical tools to help you better understand mental health concerns, recognize emotional and behavioral patterns, and explore how life experiences can influence your overall well-being. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to make informed decisions and develop healthier coping strategies. Together, we will work toward strengthening your self-awareness, building emotional resilience, and equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate life's challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe that you possess unique strengths, abilities, and resources that can help you overcome life's challenges and create meaningful change. Through Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I take a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes your strengths, personal resilience, and possibilities for growth rather than focusing solely on problems. Together, we will identify what is already working well in your life, explore your hopes for the future, and develop practical, achievable steps toward your goals. My aim is to empower you to recognize your capabilities, build confidence, and create positive, lasting changes that support your emotional well-being and personal fulfillment.
I believe that healing begins in an environment where you feel genuinely heard, understood, respected, and supported. Through supportive therapy, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of criticism. My approach focuses on helping you recognize your strengths, build emotional resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. Together, we will explore your concerns, celebrate your progress, and work toward creating meaningful changes that promote emotional wellness, personal growth, and a greater sense of peace and balance in your life.

Rhonda is amazing. She is a great listener and helps me navigate my feels. She helps me pinpoint the most important things in my conversations with her so I can work on growing instead of staying stagnant.

What brought me here was my son's concern about my mental status. I wasn't engaging in my health issues. Since meeting with Rhonda, my confidence has increased and I am feeling stronger mentally and physically. I'm exploring a new look that represents a healthy 78 year old, that has a new lease on life.

I am older now and I knew mental health therapy was something I never considered and I worked with some amazing therapist but working with Rhonda is perfect fit for where I am now and what I need from a cultural perspective.
