Riley Walker

About

My clients tend to be the ones holding the clipboard: organizing the meal train, remembering every birthday, absorbing everyone's feelings while carefully hiding their own. I grew up around caregiving, watching my family tend to the people around them, and I have known since childhood that this was my work too. The people who reach out to me are usually running on empty and half-convinced they are not allowed to say so. Some have lost their spark and miss it privately, like a friend who moved away. Grounding is our starting place: settling the breath, softening the shoulders, actually arriving. As an enby therapist, I know something about building a life outside the standard instructions, and I bring that steadiness into the room. I will meet you where you are, even if where you are is unsure about all of this. There is no wrong way to begin, and a short hello is plenty.
