Therapeutic Philosophy
Rhea believes that all people have an innate drive towards growth, healing, and joy. Life can just be tricky, confusing, or painful, and sometimes mental health therapy can be a useful tool to help people navigate these experiences. She believes that within a joyful and trusting therapeutic relationship, people can be supported in accessing their inner and outer resources to live more grounded, genuine, and connected lives.
Clinical Focus
Rhea works primarily with kids, teenagers, and family systems, supporting clients in:
- Anxiety, depression, grief and loss
- Relationship and attachment issues
- Improving self-esteem, creative problem-solving, and emotional regulation
- Discovering the underlying need behind behavioral issues
When working with kids, caregiver involvement may be encouraged!
