Hi I'm Rita! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I practice Children's Therapy, Couples Therapy, Individual Therapy, and Family Therapy. My practice is newly opened and I am excited to get to do what I love every day. My goal is to help clients to find balance in life and in love. I desire to impart key strategies for coping no matter what concerns are present.
I promote the healthy development of children, adolescents, adults and families.
Have you ever wondered why your life doesn't feel like you thought it would? Like you want it to? Maybe you've lost touch with you are, or maybe you never had the opportunity to figure it out. You're sick of feeling anxious, unfulfilled, and on autopilot in your life and relationships and you want it to change. To be more enjoyable. More aligned. I get it. I am here to help you navigate your current struggles with compassion and without judgment to hopefully get you to where you're feeling good, and feeling like your authentic self. I've helped hundreds of clients from diverse backgrounds, and would be honored to hear your story.
I have over 10 years of experience working with adults in different modalities including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Group Psychotherapy. I have additional training in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders from the Seleni Institute. I received my Master's of Science in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work where I studied Advanced Clinical Practice.
I received my Masters from Antioch University of New England, Bachelors from SUNY Empire State University, and Associates from Cortland Community College. I own a private practice and offer both in person and telehealth sessions in Oswego NY. I teach at SUNY Empire State as well. I have experience working with both behavioral and cognitive mental health and specialize in grief and loss, anxiety, and life changes. I am a mom to 5, have two dogs, and love designing and renovating.
Hi! I am a board certified DNP-PMHNP-BC. I started my career in traditional health practices as a Fulbright Scholar in Sochi, Russia. I presented my research at the US Embassy in Moscow. Following the completion of my grant I attended New York University (NYU). From there I completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. Following this I entered and completed my doctorate at USD University of San Diego, California with a focus on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care. I have a passion for working with the veteran population and those seeking care outside the box. I recently completed my facilitation for psychadelic assisted therapy and have an additional practice in Denver, Colorado. I enjoy yoga, swimming and all the water sports!
I look forward to meeting with you to help you to identify and understand your problems. I will guide you through healthy coping, self-care, and improved relationships.
