Hi, I'm Rita

Nice to meet you!

Welcome to my world of passion, purpose, and empowerment.


For over 34 years, I’ve been dedicated to helping others navigate their journeys in life. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and the founder of NewVision Counseling and Consulting Services, PLLC, I have spent the past 21 years in private practice guiding individuals toward healing and transformation. Today, as I step into my 35th year in human services, I am embracing a new chapter—one where my passion for self-love, authenticity, and creativity converges in the vibrant work I call Journey to Me.


The Heart of My Work: Journey to Me

At the core of everything I do is the belief that the most powerful journey you’ll ever take is the one back to yourself. Through my signature program, Journey to Me, I help others:


Finding Your Way to You

Rediscover your identity and purpose.

Loving and Caring for Yourself

Find your way to you, and love and care for yourself.

Create Opportunities

Use your unique gifts to thrive and inspire others.


Whether through coaching, products, or creative expression, my goal is to inspire resilience, hope, and transformation.


A Life of Creativity and Purpose

As a poet, author, and publisher, I’ve always believed in the healing power of words, music, and art. My published works, including Expressions of Love and Passion, Vol. 1: Destined, Vol. 2: Summer Love, and the upcoming Light in Winter: Embracing Light in Challenging Times Workbook, reflect my dedication to creating tools that inspire healing and self-discovery.


My most recent work, Light in Winter: Finding Hope in the Darkest Times (Vignettes), speaks directly to those navigating life’s winters—seasons of loss, grief, and challenge. These stories and resources remind us that even in the darkest moments, there is light and hope to be found.


Through my e-commerce brand, Mend n Muse Media, I offer journals, affirmation decks, wall art, and other tools to support reflection, growth, and joy. Every product is created with intention and care, reflecting my belief in living authentically and embracing self-love.


Empowering Others

My work doesn’t stop with creativity. As a Thought Leader and Passive Income Strategist, I’m building a platform that empowers others to find clarity, embrace transformation, and unlock their potential. From digital products like e-books and courses to speaking engagements, I am committed to helping others on their journey to fulfillment.


Why I Do This

Life isn’t always easy. I’ve faced challenges, including navigating seasons of transition and uncertainty. But through it all, I’ve learned the power of resilience and the importance of living authentically. My mission is to remind others that, no matter how dark the season, hope remains, and your journey continues.
