ABOUT RICHARD
Life can sometimes hand us more than we can easily handle. At these times, I help clients navigate life’s trials and transitions. I believe that everyone has abundant natural strengths and capacities to draw from to achieve goals and move closer to their desired life. I collaborate with you to harness and amplify your own strengths in the service of achieving your therapeutic goals.
​
I consider myself a collaborator and guide, helping you achieve personal and relational well-being. I provide a warm, inviting, and respectful space for you to explore and express your thoughts and feelings. I use a variety of therapeuic modalities, including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Releational Life Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy.
​
I view people holistically, considering biological, psychological, family, social, cultural, and spiritual contexts. I also consider identity factors such as race, socio-economic class, gender, sexual orientation, and ability. I endeavor to help clients build a sense of interpersonal connection in their lives, by finding their voice, and also by building interpersonal accountability.
​
I am also a lifelong musician and am always open to exploring ways that music or other creative expression can be a positive and supportive part of your life.

Notice to clients and prospective clients:
Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
