I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My years of experience comes from a variety of settings: outpatient treatment institutions, inpatient treatment institutions, and community based settings which have included one on one sessions. I utilize the following therapeutic approaches: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Strength based therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have training and experiences working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger issues, and addiction.
Everyone has their own narratives/perspectives and I understand it can be challenging to be vulnerable with your thoughts and emotions but the reward of validating yourself can be most healing. I am confident I can teach you to identify and validate your emotions in a healthy manner. I can help and/or be that listening ear. Change is possible when you are willing to make a commitment to the process. I challenge you to be open minded and be courageous with me....

I can't believe how far I've come with Rhiannon. When our sessions first began I was so full of stress and anxiety and was feeling the physical ramifications. However, over a year later, I feel as though I can handle stressful situations in a much healthier fashion thanks to the tools provides by Rhiannon. She is very attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I look forward to every session!

I haven’t wanted to participate in therapy in many years because I didn’t think my therapist really listened. Since speaking to Rhiannon this has changed my entire outlook and now I see what I was missing by not. But I guess it took her expertise to get me out of my shell of speaking to others about the things I needed to. Thank you for everything you’ve helped me accomplish this far.
