In my many years as a social worker, I have worked extensively with children who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and anger. I have helped many young people on the autism spectrum. I’m drawn to working with the younger population because, despite the troubles they’re having, their youth allows for a resilience that helps them overcome their hardships. It is a supportive, understanding, and humorous adult who can make a difference in a child’s life and their family’s life, and I find it a privilege to work in that role.

Riley works with individuals, couples, families, and groups on a wide range of issues, including relationship concerns, sexuality, depression, personal development, LGBT issues, parenting, finances, business & career and more.

Ready to feel good about your life? Don't you want to feel confident that what you are doing is good enough? You might feel like the "bad guy parent", thinking that you have to be the one to set the expectations, meanwhile feeling like your children resent you for it. You might feel guilty because being a parent does not always FEEL good...and you feel bad about that. Haven't you been frustrated and overwhelmed enough already? Aren't you tired of questioning whether or not what you are doing is best serving you? When is enough enough?

Life is tough and we all need a place to rest. I give youth, adults and families rest by creating a warm and inviting place to share their struggles. I listen to what has or has not worked in order to identify your strengths. We collaborate on goals and create a plan to overcome any struggles so you can be successful and confident now and in the future. Each child and family brings their own story to therapy and requires me to be flexible and creative. With young children, I work to enhance the parent-child relationship through positive, warm interactions and help the parent establish appropriate and firm boundaries.
