About Rita
She guides clients toward greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. Sessions focus on identifying self-sabotaging habits and replacing them with healthier choices. Rita uses goal-focused steps so progress is tangible and visible between sessions.
Her training includes graduate study in counseling and a doctorate in behavioral health. She combines that background with several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. The result is a blend of strategies rather than a single fixed method.
In practice she encourages a team approach. The client’s experience and priorities shape what happens in the room. Therapy can include skills practice, reflective conversation, and short exercises to try between meetings.
People who work with her often want clear direction and practical tools. She helps with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, trauma and abuse, substance concerns, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD related issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles. If you want a therapist who focuses on steady, goal-oriented work, she may be a fit.
