Seeking therapy with Rita often begins with a quiet awareness that something in life feels unsustainable. Many of her clients notice themselves repeating old patterns, questioning their sense of self, or feeling weighed down by anxiety, trauma, or self-criticism. Rita does not view these struggles as evidence of being broken or in need of fixing. Instead, she understands them as important signals—responses that once helped a person cope, adapt, or survive. In therapy with Rita, individuals have the opportunity to better understand these patterns while reconnecting with a deeper sense of wholeness that has always been within them.

Rita offers a safe, nonjudgmental, and trauma-informed space where each story can be explored openly and where strengths and resilience are recognized. Her approach draws from narrative and psychodynamic therapy, along with a strengths-based perspective. She helps clients reflect on the stories they have inherited or come to believe about themselves, while opening space for new meaning. Together, unconscious influences and relational patterns shaping present life can be uncovered. Through a strengths-based lens, Rita highlights creativity, courage, and capacity for growth. When supportive, she also incorporates mindfulness and body awareness as tools to foster grounding and healing.

Rita also practices from an anti-oppressive framework, remaining attentive to how systems of power, identity, and inequity impact mental health. She acknowledges that many struggles are not only personal but also connected to broader social contexts. In this way, therapy becomes both an act of healing and an act of reclaiming one’s story against forces that diminish it.

Importantly, Rita believes therapy is not about “fixing” people but about creating space to feel whole, authentic, and deeply human. She views the therapeutic relationship itself as an anchor—a place where clients can practice trust, self-compassion, and authenticity while navigating change. Each journey is unique, and Rita considers it an honor to walk alongside those ready to deepen their self-understanding and discover new ways of moving forward.

Rita is happy to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. Rita accepts most major insurances and offers a sliding fee scale on a case by case basis.
