Hi, I’m Rita 

I help smart, hard-working women get clarity on what they really want, show up for themselves, and build confidence to do life on their own terms. Because success is not one-size-fits all, and you deserve to thrive.

After over a decade practicing as a licensed mental health professional, counseling individuals and couples, I know what therapy is well-suited for and its limitations. I know what’s supported by evidence, and how many gaps there still are. I also have first-hand experience of the benefits of both therapy and coaching. 

Tired of cultural expectations to be super-woman? Burned out from over-giving? Success doesn’t have to mean sacrificing yourself, doing more, or only being defined by your roles. 


And if your brain works differently? I’ve got you. I know what it’s like to overthink, pour my whole self into something I’m interested in, and struggle to make common advice work.

Work with me to:

  • Navigate change with confidence- not with a sense of powerlessness

  • Make your decisions faster because you know how to identify what really matters to you

  • Feel connected to yourself and those around you

  • Stop sacrificing yourself for the status quo

Permission to take up space

 Ethical coaching for smart, compassionate women who want to redefine a successful life and build lasting self-confidence without perfection and burnout.
