Welcome

Hi, I'm Rita, a psychosocial counselor and systemic therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, women, and families through life's most challenging moments.

I believe that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported — with empathy, dignity, and care. My mission is to walk beside you in your vulnerable moments, and help you reconnect with your strength and clarity.

Check Icon My Background
A Journey of three Worlds:
Art & Sociology & Systemic therapy

My path began in Damascus, where I studied Fine Arts and Interior Design. After moving to Germany, I transitioned into the fields of Sociology, Education, and Systemic Therapy, combining creativity with evidence-based therapeutic approaches.

Today, my artistic roots deeply shape the way I work — integrating expressive, non-verbal, and creative tools in therapy when words are not enough.

Check Icon My Approach

I work using Systemic Therapy, a method that focuses on the relationships and dynamics shaping your emotional world. I also use Art Therapy as a creative and accessible tool, especially when traditional conversation feels limiting.

Our sessions are designed to:

Create a safe, non-judgmental
space

+

Explore what's really going on
surface

+

Reconnect you with your values,
needs, and inner compass

+

Help you develop practical tools
for lasting change

+

Check Icon Is This for You?
Whether you're:

  • Going through a difficult life transition
  • Dealing with family or relational conflict
  • Living with stress, trauma, or emotional overwhelm
  • Simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply

I offer a space where you don't have to go through it alone.

Let this be the beginning of the change you deserve.
Together, we can build a path toward more clarity,
strength, and peace.

Grow through what you go through
