Hello there! I’m Rita

Certified Coparenting Coach

Therapist

Fellow Human 

I’m a licensed therapist (LMHC), M.Ed., and Certified Co-Parenting Coach with over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals and families in pain, transition, and growth.

But the truth is, titles aren’t what heal people. Being real does.

That’s how we’ll work together—with honesty, warmth, a clear plan, and permission to say the things no one else has made space for. You don’t have to hold it all together here.

I Grew Up in a Home Where the Conflict Never Ended

My parents stayed together “for the kids,” but the tension lived in the walls. It shaped my body, my nervous system, and my sense of safety in ways no one talked about.

That experience didn’t make me perfect—it made me passionate. It taught me that unresolved conflict doesn’t disappear. It just changes shape—and often gets passed down.

I believe parents can interrupt that cycle. Not by being perfect, but by getting support. That’s where I come in.

You Might Be Here If…

• You’re parenting through separation or ongoing tension with your co-parent

• You’re emotionally exhausted from trying to “keep it civil”

• You want peace for your child—but feel stuck in resentment or reactivity

• You’ve tried tools before, but nothing has helped you feel steady

• You’re done performing. You’re ready for clarity and a way forward

What It’s Like to Work With Me

It’s honest. It’s no-fluff. We laugh. We might cry. There may be a swear word or two.
But it’s always a space where you get to be fully human. Not just the “coparent.” Not just the “strong one.” Just you.You’ll leave with:

• A clear plan

• Practical tools

• Honest feedback (with heart)

• A deeper connection to your own strength, purpose, and peace
