“Rita is authentic, grounded, deeply aware, and attentively present in therapy and spiritual direction. She is vulnerable herself, while holding boundaries. She is a companion, creating a safe space to be seen and heard with profound witness to her clients. She establishes trust with excellent competence, and her skills are clearly reflective of her training, experience, education, compassion, and wisdom. I always leave my appointments with Rita with new insights, new angles, and acceptance for the complexities of life, grief, and the human journey, As a person who is in her head a lot, Rita helps me connect to my heart. It is hard-heart work, but worth it, and I trust Rita to guide me in that necessity.”
