Hi there, I'm Rickey!

As a veteran and psychotherapist, I understand how different life experiences shape how we navigate our surroundings. My work focuses on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality, helping clients understand how their unique backgrounds influence their mental health and relationships.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, teenagers, and adults facing addiction, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, codependency, depression, dual diagnosis, LGBTQIA+ issues, trauma and PTSD, suicidal ideation, substance use, ADHD, grief, mood disorders, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

My approach

I specialize in PTSD, MST, mood disorders, grief, CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy. These are some of my approaches to helping my clients identify their challenges and barriers to their identified problems.
