I have experience with depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, self-esteem, addiction and trauma.
I pride myself on being judgement free and providing an atmosphere which is open and safe. My therapeutic approach is conversational, solution-focused and holistic.

Rutanya is such a warm and kind person and I am so blessed to have her as my therapist. She is direct and honest but in a loving way that still makes me feel supported. She's also funny and it's super easy to talk to her.

Rutanya has been great. I was really struggling with my communication (or lack there of) with my spouse and she has helped to give me tools and efficient ways to work on our communication with each other that I can feel confident in using. Also feeling a little more patient with my kiddos while working on self confidence. She is a great listener and I truly value her feedback and input/recommendations and slow and steady we’re making progress

Loved discussing things with her!
Written on Jan 16, 2024 after therapy with Rutanya for 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and anger management
Rutanya is incredible at listening and, most importantly, processing what I tell her and applying it to previous conversations or other scenarios that I have brought up. She has solutions but does not come off as pushy or overbearing; it always comes from a thoughtful place.

Written on Feb 16, 2023 after therapy with Rutanya for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes
Rutanya was with me as I went through one of the most challenging times in my life. What I appreciate the most about Rutanya is her ability to hear me and provide me with actionable goals that I could achieve. I do not connect with therapists who drown me with pity and sympathy; I'm very aware that what I've been through is tough, sad, awful, traumatizing etc. What I looked for in a therapist were direction and action; Rutanya was able to do this while being empathetic/sympathetic in an appropriate way. I highly recommend Rutanya.

Rutanya is very easy to talk to! :) I find her to be very supportive and the variety of tools she’s suggested to me are helpful— for example I’ve never tried writing down affirmations before, I’ve started doing this and can already see how helpful this tool will become once it’s part of my regular routine. I enjoy our sessions and having that support there when I need it :)
