Riley believes the therapeutic relationship offers a sacred space for healing, and he is honored to walk alongside those who are hurting, feel overwhelmed or isolated, or need a new perspective. As a therapist, Riley hopes to help clients discover a clearer understanding of how experiences and relationships have impacted the terrain of their lives. He offers counseling services to individuals, couples, and families who are seeking wholeness and hope.

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Riley is trained in evidence-based therapies, including the trauma therapy Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and the marital assessment tool Prepare/Enrich. He offers a variety of therapeutic services including premarital counseling and treatment for issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, parent-adolescent relationship problems, and marital conflict.
