About Rebecca
“People start to heal the moment they are heard.” Everyone deserves the opportunity to work toward their full potential in a safe and supportive setting. What do you need to heal from? I have a passion for learning about people and helping them overcome whatever is hindering them from experiencing their optimal lives. My therapeutic belief centers around a solution-focused, strength-based approach in order to enhance skills and facilitate change needed to gain personal growth. It is my mission to provide my clients with the utmost respect in an open and comfortable therapeutic atmosphere.
I have served the mental health community for over 15 years with experience treating those with anxiety, depression, trauma history, behavioral issues, and addiction, among other areas. I specialize in individual, family, and couples therapy, including those in the LGBTQ+ arena, as well as specific therapy for children and adolescents.
I look forward to meeting with you!
