Hi there, I'm Rio!

I'm Rio, a queer-affirming therapist offering virtual care for adults and couples. I specialize in helping LGBTQ+ clients, as well as those navigating anxiety, identity, life transitions, or substance use. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical, focused on helping you build insight, reduce distress, and feel more confident.

My focus

I primarily work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, relationship stress, identity development, and life transitions. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and have extensive experience working with gay, bi, and queer men, as well as clients exploring gender identity, HIV-related stress, and substance use.

My approach

I offer a warm, grounded, client-centered approach that blends insight and action. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic techniques to help you understand your patterns and build effective coping tools. I meet you where you are, tailoring our work to your unique values, culture, and lived experience.
