Let’s Get to Know Each Other
Hi, I’m Richele! I’m a trauma-informed therapist who brings empathy, insight, and real-life experience into the therapy room. I work with individuals, couples, and families, creating a supportive space for healing and meaningful change. I’m especially passionate about helping couples strengthen their connection, guiding women through relationship recovery, and supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges.
Outside of sessions, I love spending time with my husband, daughters, granddaughter, and our dog, Sweetpea. Whether I’m reading, dancing, traveling, or relaxing by the beach, I believe joy, curiosity, and connection are essential—both in life and in therapy.
What Clients Can Expect
Clients can expect a compassionate and authentic connection from the very beginning. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where your story is met with empathy and respect. I meet you where you are, considering your full experience—your relationships, struggles, and strengths—without judgment or agenda.
Depending on your needs, I might bring a calming presence, a bit of humor, practical skills, or a clear and supportive plan forward. Whether you're seeking tools to cope or simply space to reflect, you’ll leave each session with clarity, hope, and steps you can take to create meaningful change.
Strengths as a Therapist
I’m known for building strong, authentic relationships—especially with adolescents and young adults. I work confidently with couples and families, creating a space where everyone feels heard and supported. My communication style is clear, balanced, and emotionally attuned. I often use analogies and simple, practical tools that help clients apply what they’ve learned outside the therapy room.
Ideal Client
My ideal client is ready for change and willing to show up for themselves. Whether they’re an individual working through personal challenges, a couple navigating conflict, or a family looking for more connection, I work best with those who are open, motivated, and committed to doing the work. I especially connect with adolescents, young adults, couples in conflict, and women healing from emotionally damaging relationships.
Treatment Approaches
My trauma-informed approach integrates a range of evidence-based methods, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation Strategies
Narrative Therapy
Gottman Method for Couples
Strengths-Based and Practical Skill Building
Each approach is tailored to your unique needs, with an emphasis on healing, clarity, and long-term change.
