Hi, I’m Rebecca.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who works with teens and adults. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space for you to deepen your understanding of yourself and your connections to the people in your life. My therapy approach recognizes that our social context and unique life experiences impact everyone differently. I also believe strongly that all of us, as humans, have an innate capacity for growth and change. The role of therapy is to help tap into your own growth potential.

I have worked with people who struggle with anxiety or depression, complicated family relationships, and those who’ve experienced abuse or neglect with family or intimate partners. I'm also honored to work with young adults to navigate the transition into adulthood, and developing a path into the future. In order to identify and address underlying causes of different presenting concerns (like feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed), therapy includes setting shorter- and longer-term goals & working together to explore different strategies for meeting those goals. All of us are unique, so there is no “one size fits all”, rigid therapy plan. Ultimately, my hope is that therapy will be a stepping stone for you to develop a stronger and more confident sense of self, deeper connections to loved ones and community, and a more empowered, grounded way of being.

My lifelong interest in connecting with other people and understanding their experiences motivated me to study and become bilingual in Spanish (I am not Latina / I do not have family ties to Spanish-speaking countries). I have worked with many Spanish-speaking clients over the years and continue to practice Spanish through conversations with friends and mutual aid work in the community. I also enjoy working with people who identify as part of any LGBTQIA+ communities. Apart from my work in the mental health space, I find deep satisfaction in practicing martial arts, spending time with friends and loved ones, having travel or hiking adventures, and exploring creative hobbies.
