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, transgender concerns, suicidal ideation, substance use, ADHD, grief, mood disorders, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

My approach

I use CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy to help clients identify challenges and barriers. These evidence-based approaches are tailored to your unique needs, whether you're working through PTSD, mood disorders, grief, or other concerns.
