Empowering You to Live Your Best Life
You don't owe anyone the caterpillar you used to be.
Empower Your Journey
At times, life presents challenges that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, or experiencing relationship issues, seeking support through counselling can provide valuable insights and tools to help you cope and thrive. Many individuals find themselves seeking counselling when they encounter significant life changes, stressors, or emotional difficulties that impact their well-being. It's important to remember that reaching out for support is a courageous step towards greater self-awareness and resilience. Whatever you're facing, counselling offers a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, gain clarity, and develop strategies to enhance your quality of life.
Even during times when life feels steady and manageable, counselling can be a valuable resource for emotional maintenance and personal growth. Just as we prioritize physical health with regular exercise and check-ups, nurturing our emotional well-being is equally crucial. Counselling offers a proactive approach to self-care, providing a supportive environment to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals. By investing in regular counselling sessions, you can enhance your self-awareness, strengthen coping mechanisms, and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. This ongoing support empowers you to maintain a healthy emotional balance, navigate life transitions more smoothly, and build resilience for the future.

Hi there! My name is Rita, and I think it's fair to say that we all hit rough patches in life. It takes a boatload of courage sometimes, just to reach out for a little support. I'm here to lend an ear and a hand whenever you need it.
Life's full of twists and turns, and I get it. Whether you're wrestling with major life transitions, struggling with body image or self-confidence, emotional eating or navigating the murky waters of dating and relationships, or feeling the weight of workplace bullying, you're not alone. Trust me, I've been there. I offer you a safe place to land to learn and grow from.
So, if you're ready to take that step forward but you've got a few things standing in your way, let's chat. Together, we'll navigate those obstacles and carve out a path to a brighter, more fulfilling tomorrow.
I believe we all deserve to live the happiest and most fulfilling lives we can, and sometimes we have obstacles to overcome. I consider it a privilege to do this work, and I'm here to listen, support, and guide you through whatever life throws your way. Let's tackle this journey together.
I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling and Therapists of Canada, and a professional member with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapists Association.
Meet Rita
I am based in Victoria on beautiful Vancouver Island. I acknowledge and respect the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Esquimalt) Peoples on whose unceded territory the city stands, and the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱ SÁNEĆ Peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
I am thrilled to be on this journey of empowerment and growth.
I bring not only professional expertise to my counselling but also a genuine appreciation and curiosity for the beauty found in our differences. I am committed to fostering a space where individuals from all walks of life feel seen, heard, and valued.
My journey into counselling has been driven by a passion for helping others navigate life's challenges. Through my own deeply personal and impactful experiences, I have come to understand the importance of finding a space to show up and just be, without fear of judgment or reprisal.
In our sessions, you can expect a holistic and inclusive approach. I believe that embracing our unique stories and backgrounds is a powerful catalyst for personal transformation. Together, we will explore your strengths, address challenges, and work towards a future aligned with your goals and aspirations and discover the depth of who you are and what matters to you.
I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and support you on your path to a life you love.
