What led me to become a therapist...

When I was a child, my mother taught me a poem called “Children Learn What They Live.” It had a big influence on me – so much so that I knew at age 15 that I wanted to work with kids.

When I was a junior in college, the unimaginable happened, as I lost my teenaged brother. That tragedy affected me profoundly, igniting a passion for turning life’s lemons into lemonade.

I had a mission: to help people who are suffering but don’t know how to change it.

It’s nice to meet you!

I am Riley. I am a therapist who truly believes therapy is for everyone. It doesn’t matter how small or big something might feel- I can help you work through anything that is impacting your mood, thoughts, or mental health.

I specialize in:

-The Chronic Over-thinkers

-The Hard Workers experiencing burnout

-Those facing life changes

As a dedicated mental health professional with a background as a first responder, I understand the profound impact trauma and addiction can have on individuals. I specialize in helping those facing trauma, addiction, and mood disorders by employing evidence-based therapies tailored to every client’s unique needs. I have spent my life working with high-intensity populations and have had the privilege of creating supportive environments, fostering resilience, and helping people achieve lasting recovery. Together, we can navigate your path to healing.

With over 17 years of experience practicing therapy with children and teens in a variety of settings I have extensive knowledge helping children and families overcome mental health challenges. I believe in making therapy fun and engaging for your child. If they are struggling with difficulties at home or school, I can teach them coping skills so they can help themselves feel better. I help parents navigate behavioral challenges and will work with you to rebuild your relationship with your child.

Hello and welcome! I want to commend you on taking this step toward self-care. Our mental health is just as important as our physical health yet sometimes it takes a back seat. As a clinician for almost 20 years, I have spent my career helping clients achieve their mental health goals. I have had the privilege of working with all different walks of life from young children to adults helping them to uncover their strength through difficult moments of their lives.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with more than 13 years of experience providing behavioral health services and community-based care serving diverse and underserved populations.

Before entering the behavioral health field, I proudly served as an active-duty United States Marine, including overseas deployments. The leadership, discipline, resilience, and commitment to service that I developed during my military career continue to guide my professional approach and dedication to helping others.

My experience includes providing direct clinical services, managing complex cases and focusing on creating culturally responsive, evidence-based services that improve outcomes for children, families, and communities.

Hi, I’m Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Florida. My personal experiences have deeply shaped the way I approach therapy and the kind of space I strive to create for clients. I know firsthand that healing and growth are rarely linear, and that support looks different for everyone. Because of that, I don’t believe therapy should feel rigid or “one size fits all.”

My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in genuine human connection. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale a little, show up authentically, and talk openly about both the heavy things and the everyday moments that still matter. Yes, I absolutely want to hear about your stressful week, your latest life spiral, and how your pets are doing too. Alongside the deeper work, I believe there is real value in feeling comfortable enough to be fully yourself in session.

I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, supported, and never judged. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, stressors, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck while building practical tools, emotional insight, and confidence that feel sustainable outside of therapy. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more capable of navigating life with clarity, self-trust, and compassion.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with an extensive background in critical care.
