Hi! I’m Riah (she/her). Finding a therapist can feel like a big step, and I believe that finding a therapist you connect with is really important. With that in mind, here’s a little about me to help you decide if we might be a good fit.
As a relational therapist, I prioritize building a relationship with you that is founded on warmth, compassion, and collaboration. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role as your therapist is to walk alongside you to offer support as you reflect, explore, and grow.
I primarily work with individuals and couples who identify as BIPOC, multicultural, or LGBTQIA+, as well as those navigating identity development, communication challenges, multiculturalism, migration and acculturation, and deepening connection within their relationships. My work draws upon systems-thinking and anti-oppressive frameworks, as well as Narrative, Emotion-Focused, and Experiential therapy modalities. My approach is deeply informed by my identities and experiences as a mixed-race, bicultural, Thai-American immigrant woman. Through my own intersecting identities, I understand the challenges of navigating different cultures while striving to live in alignment with your authentic self.
It is my hope that, in our time together, we create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported in your authenticity. If you feel like we might be a good fit, please feel free to reach out— I’d love to meet you.
