More about Richard

- LCSW
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. My work spans depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship concerns. I'm particularly skilled in helping clients navigate identity, sexuality, and intimacy—including LGBTQ+ affirming care, sexual health concerns, and non-traditional relationship structures.
I work with clients facing grief, shame, isolation, and the aftermath of abuse or assault. I also support those managing addiction, family conflict, and major life transitions like cancer diagnosis or young adulthood. My approach honors each person's unique background, values, and lived experience.
I bring a person-centered, trauma-informed perspective to our work together. I believe in meeting you where you are with genuine respect, cultural humility, and authentic presence. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns and build meaningful change at your own pace.
Taking the step to seek support takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
