Great to meet you!

Hi there, I'm Rita the Backpack Therapist. Recovering from childhood trauma and narcissistic abuse is never easy. But there’s no reason to have to go through this alone. Let me help you recover and rise above your traumatic experience. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of working with sexual abuse, domestic violence, rape and sexual assault survivors overcome trauma. I also specialize in recovery from narcissistic abuse.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My specialty is empowering sexual abuse, domestic violence, rape and sexual assault survivors. I also specialize in recovery from the trauma of narcissistic abuse and relationship issues.

What you can expect from our first session

Together we can work through the emotional turmoil by focusing on your strengths and ability to heal from, adapt to and cope effectively with trauma. If you are ready to embark on your life journey grab your backpack and let's work through trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief, loss and traumatic relationships. The road to recovery and healing can be a difficult but I'm here to help. Are you ready? Grab your backpack and let's go!
