When Sensitivity Meets Ambition, Life Can Feel Overwhelming
You—or your child—might be the kind of person who’s always thinking, always striving, always feeling just a little more than those around you. You hold yourself to high standards. You care deeply. You notice everything.
That sensitivity and drive can be powerful strengths. But even strengths can feel heavy at times. Perfectionism, anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm can get in the way of the calm and confidence you deserve.
Therapy is a space to reconnect with your natural clarity, creativity, and resilience. It’s a place to make sense of your inner world, build lasting tools, and feel more grounded in who you are.
Whether you're navigating school pressures, career stress, or simply the intensity of your own thoughts and emotions—you're not alone. You have the ability to thrive, not just succeed.
I'm here to help you get there.
Hi, I’m Rita: Therapist for deep thinkers, sensitive feelers, and people who “do it all.”
I work with children, teens, and adults who are wired for depth. My clients are often highly intelligent, deeply feeling, and driven to succeed—but that doesn’t mean life is easy. In fact, being both capable and sensitive can create a perfect storm of internal pressure.
I help clients untangle those patterns, find relief from anxiety and perfectionism, and reconnect with their own inner wisdom. Therapy with me is collaborative, down-to-earth, light-hearted, and built around what you actually need—not just what the world expects of you.
