With over 20 years of experience in Kinesiology and Health Sciences, Rita has dedicated her career to supporting individuals living with traumatic brain injuries. This work deeply shaped her understanding of the mind-body connection and sparked a profound passion for mental health.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and bring a compassionate, integrative approach to therapy. Her clinical focus includes supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Rita believes effective therapy begins by meeting you where you are—with empathy, curiosity, and without judgment.

Rita’s approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). In 2025, she is near completion of training in Somatic Experiencing, which enhances her ability to support clients in reconnecting with their bodies as part of the healing process.

Rita offers a flexible, client-centred therapeutic space where your unique experiences, needs, and strengths guide our work together. Whether you are seeking to build resilience, process trauma, or find new ways of coping.
