Welcome! My name is Rebecca, and I am here to help. Looking for a therapist is daunting work, and I am so glad you found your way here. Whatever you’re facing, we will get through it together. 

As a therapist, I use humanistic, client-centered techniques including person-centered therapy, somatic therapies, and internal family systems/parts therapy to understand the roots of your coping skills. I focus on empathy, support, empowerment, and collaboration. Together, and at your own pace, we will look at your issues without judgment. I will work with you to understand, empathize with, and heal from the wounds from your past or present. I work with people experiencing PTSD, cPTSD, childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, addiction, and more. I also work with the LGBTQ+ community on issues of coming out, questioning, transitioning, and family issues. I work with adults and teens.

I was born and raised in the Santa Cruz mountains, and currently live in Soquel. I traveled all over the  state for college, finishing with my Masters in Social Work at California State University, San Bernardino. In my free time I love creative writing, gardening, nature walks, spending time with loved ones, and TV marathons. I have extensive experience of therapy as both a therapist and a client, and it is an honor to pass along what I’ve learned.  If you think I would be a good fit as your counselor, please reach out. I’m excited to meet you!
