About Rita
My name is Rita. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors and hold a Masters of Counselling from Trinity Western University. I’ve always been interested in learning about the human mind and in love with music and this led me in a journey to complete a Bachelor of Arts with Psychology Major and Music Minor at University of British Columbia. In my graduate studies, I further pursued this passion with psychology and music as I received training in counselling as well as expressive modalities of therapy, including the use of art and music techniques, sandtray therapy, and play therapy. I also received various training in working with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and trauma: EMDR Basic Certification, Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (Level II), Complicated and Traumatic Grief, Trauma Treatment, Somatic/Body-based Psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
My approach
My primarily approach is an integration of Person-Centred approach, Polyvagal Theory, and Daniel Siegel’s Mindsight approach. My focus is creating a warm and safe environment for the exploration of the issues that clients bring into counseling. I also use various approaches and modalities, depending on clients’ individual needs, including:
Play therapy, Sandtray therapy, use of art and/or music
Somatic/Body-based Psychotherapy
Attachment Theory
Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy
Narrative Therapy
