When our children struggle, we as parents struggle. We want laughter, peace, safety and good memories. But life is often difficult! Parenting is often hard! Our children can experience challenges in school, with siblings and friends, with learning differences, physical disabilities, chronic illness, grief, loss, and anxiety. We can experience difficulty in understanding them and their perceptions, and ultimately in connecting to our children in the ways we long to. Having a highly trained counselor to walk along side you, offering guidance and help can make a huge difference for both your child and yourself.

We all have past painful experiences (trauma) that affect us. When left untreated, trauma is relived in your thought patterns, emotional responses, and body sensations. Trauma also interferes with social, family, and community relationships that provide vital support. RITT assists you in reconnecting the internal (mind, body, and emotions) as well as the external (social, family, and community) for lasting and integrated healing. Our therapists are trained in culturally responsive, proven methods to address the many impacts of trauma.

I believe in the human spirit and our capacity to make positive changes in all aspects of our lives, even in the face of adversity. By exploring our thought patterns, we can better identify feelings that affect our actions on a daily basis. We can then make effective changes that improve the quality of our lives, decreasing stress, anxiety, and depression and providing us with a more peaceful and joyful life. I also believe in the benefit of human interaction with other loving creatures; you will meet my little Yorkie-Poo therapy partner, Mojo, when you come to visit me. He loves children and adults.
