She specialized in teens and adults affected by anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, attachment wounds, and symptoms resulting from difficult life experiences. 

Rhonda’s approach to counseling focuses on providing unconditional positive regard, building trust, and creating a safe place for clients to explore the issues that trouble them. Using EMDR, Ego State Therapy, and other modalities Rhonda collaborates with clients to make meaningful and lasting changes.

Rhonda was born in South Dakota; however, has lived in many states throughout the U.S. She has made her forever home here in beautiful north Texas. As a young adult, Rhonda worked as a cytogenetic technologist, analyzing chromosomes for prenatal and cancer diagnosis. She and her husband have raised two children to adulthood and have adopted too many dogs and cats. The current pet count is three dogs, two cats, one bunny, and a multitude of fish. Throughout the years, Rhonda has gained valuable life experience and wisdom, which is an effective resource for connecting and empathizing with her clients.

In her free time, Rhonda enjoys concerts, hiking, going to the lake or beach, reading, arts & crafts, and playing with the dogs.
