Sometimes it can be easy to doubt ourselves, our worth, and our abilities. The experiences we have in life can lead us to having these painful beliefs and emotions, which can bring about feelings of shame, misunderstanding or despair. When we are able to overcome the shame and self-doubt, our true selves are able to be discovered. No matter what you’ve been through, you deserve to be appreciated and respected. My hope is to guide you in self-discovery and finding compassion for yourself that allows you to become the person that you desire to be. Allow me to guide you on your journey of healing and growth.
I work with all individuals ages 13+. My specialties are Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression. I enjoy bringing art into sessions whenever possible, due to the therapeutic benefits.
You are searching for something you have yet to find, or perhaps you are lost along life’s journey. Maybe you are angry, sad, or scared. Maybe you are too confused to know how you feel or what to think, despite the many thoughts bouncing around in your head. There is no doubt we find ways to survive, but sometimes these ways of coping have unintended consequences or stop working altogether. This might leave you feeling stuck and searching for a change.
I'm Rita, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, dedicated to guiding individuals through their mental health journeys with compassion and evidence-based care.
I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.
