About Rita
Rita centers each session on the client’s strengths and lived experience.

When clients request faith-based elements, she weaves those beliefs into conversation and problem solving.
Her work emphasizes short-term, goal-focused change. Clients set clear goals and track progress over time. Rita offers coaching on communication, boundaries, parenting challenges, coping with grief, and handling workplace strain.
Over six years she has helped people navigate intimacy issues, divorce and separation, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. She also supports those facing cancer in the family, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and feelings of emptiness or low self-love.
Sessions are collaborative and concrete. Rita helps people choose small, manageable steps and builds skills they can use between meetings.

Solution-Focused Care and Online Options
Solution-Focused Therapy helps clients identify small changes that make a big difference. It focuses on practical goals, what is already working, and steps clients can try between sessions. This approach is useful for relationship conflicts, stress, parenting challenges, and navigating life transitions.Rita combines guided questioning with collaborative planning. She will work with each person to choose the techniques and pace that fit their goals and lifestyle. Figuring out the right approach is a shared process, and adjustments are made as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people meet from places with quieter surroundings or shorter transitions. It can also allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals generally use online work to keep momentum between in-person visits or when coming in is difficult, and Rita can help decide if virtual sessions match a client's needs.
