Hello there! I’m Rita 

I’m a licensed therapist and coach with two decades of practice working with clients of all ages and backgrounds.

 More than anything, I am human and a fellow traveler on the journey. The most powerful thing I do in therapy is to share my human-ness. I name what it’s REALLY like to live through painful experiences and give permission to say the things that we don’t think we can say out loud to anyone. Because that’s how healing REALLY happens. 

 With over 20 years of experience as a co-parent coach and therapist, I hold an M.Ed, LMHC, and am a Certified Coach. My passion for helping families stems from my own upbringing. I grew up in a household where my parents constantly fought but stayed together for the sake of my sister and me. This experience showed me the profound impact of unresolved conflicts on a family.

I chose this path because I want to be the person my parents needed. I believe that with proper guidance, families can find healthier ways to communicate and coexist, leading to happier and more harmonious lives. My mission is to provide co-parents with the tools and support they need to create positive environments for their children, ensuring everyone can thrive despite the challenges of separation. Together we will create your map to help you find your way to the life you were meant to live, a life of meaning, contentment, and happiness. Working with me is honest and no-fluff. We’ll laugh, we might cry, and there may even be a swear word or two. This is a space dedicated to you and your well-being, and I’m honored to get to do this work alongside you.
