Hi there, I'm Rita!

I am licensed by the State of California. I aim to help individuals unlock their potential, achieve their goals, and find meaning in their lives. I look forward to collaborating with you towards your personal growth.

My focus

I guide adults facing relational problems, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. Through exploration of your background, current challenges, and aspirations, I delve into personal history, relationships, and significant life events. Through active listening and empathetic engagement, I gain a deep understanding of your unique perspectives.

My approach

My approach blends psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, existential, gestalt, humanistic, and person-centered mindfulness with attachment theory. I integrate Eastern and Western modalities to address depression, anxiety, eating disorders, mood disorders, self-esteem, communication, relational conflict, parenting, anger, grief, and life transitions.
