M.Ed., LMHC · Certified Coparent Coach · Westwood, Massachusetts

Hi, I'm Rita

Protect your children from being pulled into the middle of co-parenting conflict, even when cooperation feels out of reach.

I bring together my background as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Co-Parent Coach, Mediator, and BeH2O® Certified Coach to help parents move beyond the same arguments and frustrations and begin building something that actually works.

You don't need to be friends with your co-parent, agree on everything, or even have a particularly good relationship to create a healthier experience for your children.

More About Rita

BeH2O Certified Coach badge

One committed parent can start the shift.

You cannot control how another person shows up. You can build the language, systems, and emotional posture that help you lead with purpose.

What they're really looking for is relief.

Most parents don't come to me because they want to become better friends with their co-parent. They come because they're exhausted by the conflict, frustrated by the same arguments, and worried about how it's affecting their children.
