About Rita

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and emotional struggles. I work with clients across the lifespan with expertise in helping individuals survive trauma; increase activity and motivation; and navigate the complexities of aging, grief, and life changes. I have specialized training in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Therapy. My approach is grounded in compassion and practical support. I specialize in helping people work through depression, anxiety, stress, and the emotional weight that comes with major life shifts. I'm experienced in addressing communication difficulties, isolation, relationship concerns, and the deeper questions around life purpose and meaning. I've supported clients facing a wide range of concerns-including trauma, attachment challenges, caregiver stress, financial worries, chronic illness, and the unique pressures faced by first responders. I also work with individuals exploring forgiveness, shame, guilt, and the process of reclaiming self-esteem and personal agency. Whether you're navigating loss, relationship struggles, identity questions, or the weight of life's responsibilities, I'm here to listen without judgment and help you move toward greater clarity and peace. I believe in meeting you where you are and working collaboratively toward meaningful change at your own pace. Read more Show less
