T-LMFT
Accepting Clients

Hi I'm Riley! I am passionate about serving birthing people and their support persons during the transitions of pregnancy and postpartum.

Marriage & Family Therapist in Wichita, KS

About My Clients

Are you overwhelmed by pregnancy? Scared your relationship won't survive another kid? Worried about your partner giving birth? Processing an abortion or TFMR? I have been where you are sitting. As a mother of three young kids, I know the difficulties that come alongside a newborn baby, whether that includes birth trauma, unmet expectations, identity changes, or relationship struggles. And I would LOVE to be there for you in this transition time.

My Background and Approach

Things I can help you with include: mood changes in pregnancy and postpartum, how becoming a parent changed your view of your own childhood, not feeling like yourself anymore, previous loss experiences, increasing your confidence, working out issues in your relationship, processing a disappointing birth or pregnancy experience, etc. In the therapy room, you might find me making jokes, bringing out Play-Doh, and tearing up alongside you. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental space for you with a splash of humor. Creativity and play are my strong suits, but I also value the hard moments because that’s where growth begins. You are welcome to bring your babies to therapy sessions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a pro-choice, LGBTQIA+ affirming, inclusive, non-judgmental, sailor-mouthed individual and therapist. I believe everyone is welcome inside and outside of my office regardless of sexual orientation, income status, gender identity, ethnicity, or past history. I am a C-section, birth-trauma-surviving, VBAC, foster, and adoptive mama of three. I've formula fed and breastfed. I've labored at a birthing center and at a hospital. I haven't lived through everything you have, but I think that's the beauty of sitting together and learning your experience.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
