About Me
My approach to therapy is client-centered: I believe clients are the experts on their lives and determine the direction and depth of therapy.
I employ an Integrative therapeutic lens, on multiple treatment modalities to help clients identify strengths and to develop treatment plans that accomplish their goals. Some clients may find they need short-term therapy. In these situations, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) may be used. Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) assists clients in exploring what they are doing well and how to focus on solutions to situations rather than focus on problems. SFBT strategies help clients to set goals and visualize what areas may be preventing them from moving forward in a current situation. SFBT provides tools that are measurable helping clients focus short and long term goals.
Others may find they need more in-depth guidance, in these instances we may employ use Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT), and/or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in our work together. Through the use of CBT, clients replace negative or dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more realistic positive thoughts and behaviors. Clients may find through applying CBT practices that a change in thinking can lead to a change in behaviors.
DBT may be applied when a client feels they need help with emotional control and within their relationships. DBT has four modes of focus including mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation with the goal of teaching clients how to cope with emotional distress in a positive, more productive ways.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I am working to become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). I enjoy spending time with my husband and family. I also enjoy reading, biking practicing yoga, and traveling to new places learning about different cultures.

Reviews
Rhea is calm, caring and takes the time to really listen. She doesn’t patronise, or make me feel as though my problems are in any way trivial.
It’s good to know she is there to support me and only a text or call away. She has such a warm nature.
Just in our first session Rhea was able to make some actionable suggestions that immediately helped reduce some of my anxiety and find my forward momentum. Down to earth and practical, great listener, and lovely to talk to. Highly recommend.
The responses are not just “by the book” so in-depth and wanting to find out why and actually caring.
I worked with Rhea during a REALLY hard time in my life, and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. She had helpful perspectives, worksheets, and I so appreciated the loving presence from Rhea. I highly recommend working with her.
Rhea is extremely knowledgeable and very adamant about helping you. She cares and wants to give you every tool possible to succeed. She’s amazing.
I have really enjoyed and feel I have really learnt a lot from Rhea, she has helped me understand so much and really helped me with my problems I feel very comfortable telling her everything

From the onset Rhea has provided me a lot of value and perspective. I've only had a handful of sessions with her and she has helped me to understand my experiences both subjectively and objectively. There is always an action suggested after each session for which I've seen success in implementing. I'm happy that I've been matched with a professional like Rhea. Her expertise is appreciated.
She’s amazing!
