About Riketa

I develop a safe space for individuals, families, and couples to come and share their most vulnerable experiences. My approach is systemic, meaning that I look at the whole picture instead of just the individual. What in your environment led you to this point? Who and/or what in your life has influenced your behaviors or choices? You do not have to be consumed with self-blaming. There could be many factors that led you to this point, let’s explore that together.

 

I work with both children and adults. Little people have big feelings that could be hard to process. Therefore, no matter if clients are younger or older I am here to help them process their feelings in a collaborative way. I may have the education and training, but you are the expert of your own experiences. For this reason, I do not believe that my role is to lead you through the therapeutic process, but to be with you in it.

 

I have about 6 years of experience working with those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, life stressors, relationship issues, family conflict, etc. I also have experience working with those dealing with personality disorders. Before my career in mental health I worked with children in Early Headstart; therefore, I have experience working with children with Autism and ADHD. That experience has transferred with me to the therapeutic setting giving me the ability to work with both children and adults that experience these disorders. Mental health covers a multitude of issues, some may seem big and some may seem small. If you are willing to take one step, then I am willing to walk through it with you.
