Seeking the assistance of a professional counselor is an important decision. Reaching out for help can be difficult, but once the decision has been made, most people, in my experience, find the outcome to be extremely rewarding. Stress, relationship difficulties, and career disenchantment are just a few of the normal issues that anyone may encounter over the course of one's life. Seeking an experienced and skilled counselor to help deal with any of these concerns is a demonstration of personal strength and healthy coping.

Hi, I'm Rinny (she/they)! I am currently working with couples and non-traditional relationships on a wide range of issues including improving healthy communication, sex therapy, intimacy discrepancies, infidelity, identity exploration, systemic racism and marginalization, trauma, abuse, grief, gender affirming services, and polyamory/ENM. From my perspective, identity work is heavily relational, therefore, I bring this approach into my work as I seek to better understand who you are and who you hope to become within and outside of your relationships.

Accepting new clients as of 10/29/24. I believe you and your relationships are too important to put off therapy. Maybe it’s that reoccurring fight leaving you stuck, unseen, or feeling hopeless in your relationship? Or you are ready to address the anxiety, negative thoughts, or loss of motivation that's been accepted as your new normal. Maybe what previously worked feels dull in this season of life and you want to see and feel progress again. I utilize an integrative approach centered on evidence-based practices such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, ACT, Narrative, and others to help you accomplish your desired outcome in therapy

I utilize the therapeutic relationship to listen deeply to your story and help you find new meaning in life.

If so, I believe I can help. I am trained to help you make the changes you want to see in your life. I will help you get to the root of your problems, not simply treat your symptoms. This happens best in the safety of a trusted therapeutic relationship where we will work collaboratively to help you discover your authentic feelings, make a deeper connection to yourself and others, and reap greater satisfaction from your life.

Research repeatedly shows that the relationship between client and therapist is the biggest predictor of successful therapy.
Were you taught that certain feelings were invalid and unacceptable? Do you feel stuck in a role that limits you? Maybe you're just burnt out and exhausted. I can help you improve your relationship with yourself and others, work through old traumas, and/or free yourself from feelings of depression and anxiety.

Accepting couples, families and individuals using OHP insurance. Do you want to make a change? Coping skills often developed early on in life and were important to help get you to where you are today. They can arise from a childhood that seems "normal" or one filled with trauma and struggle. Coming to therapy is a step in healing the wounds from the past and working with the struggles of today. I can help you process your lived experience at your pace to help you move forward and make positive changes in your life. I am currently prioritizing couples and families who want to do therapy together.,

I believe that our wounds form relationally, and so heal through relationship.
My approach to therapy facilitates personal growth and healing, and begins by meeting you where you are. My intention is to help you expand your own felt-sense of well-being, safety and personal agency through welcoming, working with, and integrating all of the different aspects of who you are. My clients tell me that I feel safe, warm and direct. I will offer you a space to be witnessed and integrate tools that sharpen your awareness of yourself and how you relate to others. I am a Level 2 IFS trained clinician.

From Individual sessions, providing play therapy for children that are experiencing stress and trauma, to working with couples that need a safe and supportive environment to tackle relationship issues.
Everyone faces difficult things in life that can become overwhelming to deal with on their own. Having others to rely on is an important component to navigating through those hard times without further emotional distress. As a mental health professional, I hope to support clients in working through all the daily stresses, traumatic events, life transitions, and relationship challenges that they may be facing. I approach all clients with a desire to step into their world as an observer and serve as a guide to uncovering strengths and possible solutions that can bring about change and healing.

Neuroscience has taught us that "the mind" is encapsulated not only in the head; it exists throughout the whole body. As a holistic practitioner, I am interested in how you can learn to listen to the wisdom and cues of your inner knowing, beyond just what your thoughts tell you, and mend the relationship between mind/body. We all have the ability to grow and transcend from our past and present wounds and turn them into sources of empowerment and healing. I greet identity work, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues with positive psychology and feminist therapy frameworks to aim towards your sense of liberation.

Evidence shows that the relationship between a client and their therapist is a great way to determine the outcome of the client's therapeutic experience.
I strive to work with folks who do not feel like they fit the typical mold of society. So many of us have experienced othering or felt judgment for our unique qualities. It is a pleasure to aid folks in reframing those differences as strengths and assets. Whether a client feels different due to identity, or sexual orientation, or just thinks differently I hope to help these clients find a sense of peace within themselves. My passion areas include working with folks in the LGBTQIA+ community, the Poly community, and those who strive to appreciate their quirks and uniqueness.

May be you are wondering if therapy is really for you, especially if you are a person of color? As a South Asian who was once skeptical of therapy, I get it. Clients I work with are often dealing with anxiety or depression, grief and loss, parenting, exploring or navigating racial and cultural identities, exploring gender identity or preparing for gender affirming surgery, or working on their romantic relationship. Some clients aren't "working" on anything, but looking to create time each week to process, slow down, and have a regular space to check in with themselves. Where ever you are starting, I bring my curiosity and humor.
