Helping people navigate difficult relationships
Whether you are in one, recently out of one or still suffering from the aftershocks.
Mental Health for Life
Hi, I’m Rhea
I’m a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma recovery. I am a certified clinical trauma professional and help people recover from difficult, devastating relationships.
I walk alongside complicated, creative, and misunderstood humans as they get off the ride, and choose their highest path. The journey is yours; I will help you navigate, show you new routes to take.
I am relaxed, good humored, encouraging, and interactive. My practice is secular, inclusive, and affirming. I am not going to rush you, or let you get too stuck. My clients typically initially see me for about a year, and then on and off as the seasons of their life change. But everyone is different.
My secondary clinical focus is on gifted and highly sensitive individuals. For this group of humans, therapy can be leveraged to understand and direct the unique challenges and pressures associated with extraordinary ability.
It is my belief all persons are deserving of, and entitled to receive counseling services regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or disability.
Specialities
My practice focuses on providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore and grow. My approach integrates trauma-informed care with Internal Family Systems and somatics. When appropriate, I introduce Dialectal Behavioral and Cognitive Behavioral modalities. I have a deep understanding of the unique issues sensitive individuals may face in their relationships. By addressing both relational trauma and attachment, I help clients navigate their emotional struggles, enhance their self-awareness, and foster healthier relationships.
In short, I aim to empower my clients to heal from their relationship wounds, develop healthier patterns, and cultivate more fulfilling connections in their lives.
