Rita is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Neuropsychotherapy Practitioner-Certified (NPT-C). She integrates principles of neuropsychology into her practice to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behavior connect. She works with individuals ages 13 and up experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, and stress, and supports couples navigating infidelity, separation, divorce, communication issues, and family dynamics. Rita also guides parents in managing behavioral concerns and their impact on the family.
Her approach is collaborative, systemic, holistic, and strength-based. She works alongside clients as a team, guiding them on their journey to wellness while emphasizing the mind-body connection and the belief that people are the experts of their own lives.
Outside of therapy, Rita enjoys nature, continuing her education, reading, coloring, writing poetry (sometimes sharing it at open mics), trying new experiences, and spending time with her two children and her fur baby.
Rita graduated from Texas Wesleyan University with a B.A. in English and a minor in Spanish. After spending 13 years as an educator, she earned her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and is now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Associate, working under the supervision of Kali McDonald, LMFT-S, LPC.

Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, holistic, and strength-based, believing that individuals are the experts of their own lives and emphasizes the mind-body connection.
Outside of therapy, Rita loves immersing herself in nature, continuing her education, reading, writing poetry (which she often shares at open mics), trying new experiences, and spending time with her two children and her beloved fur baby.
