Hi! I'm Rikki. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with dual master's degrees and over eight years of experience working in community mental health, private practice, and forensic settings.

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and tailored to each person I work with.

You’re doing everything “right”—staying active, showing up for others, pushing through—but you’re still stuck in your head. You overthink everything. You’re constantly anxious, tense, and on edge.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, founder of Legato Axis, and my clinical work is informed by 30+ years as a Silicon Valley executive, bringing real-world context to my practice with individuals, couples, and complex families across diverse demographics.
My real education, however, began much earlier: I grew up in an environment where reading the emotional energy of a room was a survival necessity. That early need to understand the "unspoken" forged a deep hyper-vigilance—an ability to track patterns and find the solutions needed to move things forward. I eventually took that same focus into the high-pressure world of global industry, where I successfully navigated the same transitions and pressures my clients face today.
Today, I sit on the other side of the therapy chair. I don’t just listen to your words; I sense the complexity of the world you are carrying. In my work with couples and individuals, I act as a bridge, speaking both the language of logic and the language of emotion. This ensures that both partners feel truly seen and that we move toward real coherence.
Whether you are navigating burnout, difficult life transitions, or complex relational conflict, you don’t need to have the answers before we meet. My goal is to help you clear the noise and find a path back to peace and flow. If you are ready for this journey, I invite you to reach out for a conversation.

I have found it deeply rewarding to help individuals build self-esteem, navigate life transitions such as divorce or breakups, and process grief related to the loss of a loved one or cherished pet. Ultimately, my goal is to support each person in reaching meaningful, lasting change.
