Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness lie at the heart of my therapeutic approach. I value being present in the moment with my clients and their emotions, whatever they may be.

We must: Heal. Grow. Thrive. And always remember that "Today is a good day to have a good day". Life can be a lot to juggle at times.

I am here to validate your feelings and affirm that I am here to support you on your journey. It is YOUR journey.

Hi! My name is Rebecca. I'm a licensed psychologist, artist, herbalist, and enthusiastic advocate for holistic healing. Think of me as The Intuitive Artologist (someone who uses scientifically-proven modalities and my own guided intuition to provide my clients with highly customized care.) As someone with ADHD, I'm very passionate about empowering people with all kinds of neurodivergence, which is why I have made it my life's mission to teach people how to embrace their quirks and learn how to optimize them. I have a variety of soul-ution based services that work to create ease in your physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.

I recognize the courage it takes to pursue therapy and am truly honored to come along side you on your journey toward emotional health and well being. I believe in treating each individual with respect, kindness, and compassion. I strive to create a safe environment for you to feel heard. It is my goal to empower each person with the self-awareness and self-confidence necessary to express their voice and advocate for themself.

I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.

Jamie has experience working with both chemical and process addictions, specifically their root in trauma, and is passionate about helping individuals enter and maintain recovery, utilizing therapy, psychoeducation, and community supports. Jamie believes that anyone can change anything in their lives, as long as they have the desire to do so, openness to gain insight in therapy, and willingness to take action once insight is gained. She works hard to build relationships with clients that are based on authenticity, respect, and unconditional positive regard, while utilizing a cognitive-behavioral perspective.

Painful experiences can imprint on our brains and alter our perspective of our strength and ability. Yet our largest impediment to change is often being unseen and not validated for who we are. My work focuses on creating room for clients to live authentically and teaching them to take up space in their own lives without apologizing.

Do you feel stuck in grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, or a hard life change? The God who created the world and everything in it knows you and wants you to flourish. In wisdom, God often chooses to use the intentional conversations of his people to affect change in their lives. I would be honored to have those conversations with you.

Whether you are looking for someone to help you get off to a healthy start in a new marriage or teetering on the brink of divorce, couples counseling can make a world of difference! Maybe your child is having issues at school, struggling academically, acting out, having trouble making & maintaining friendships, or just feeling lost in a new or bigger school. My job is to help clients see their life challenges in a new way, so you can take the next steps toward lasting change. Skilled and compassionate use of evidence-based techniques can help clients explore options, figure out the best course of action, and implement life changes.

I am so glad that you stopped by and took the time to read about me and explore the possibility of working together.Getting started is always the hardest part of any road to change. Deciding who you are going to trust with your information is also an important part of your new beginnings. I want to be supportive of your goals and work together in discovering how you can reach and surpass them. In my time away from being a therapist, the most important thing to me is my family - my wife and three young children - and spending as much of my time with them that I can. I enjoy hiking, fishing, cooking and reading when I have the time.

I have counseled couples for marital concerns, individuals who are suffering through anxiety, depression and panic symptoms. I also have experience working with survivors of sexual assault. I have worked extensively with Hispanic clients concerning acculturation, multi-generational and cultural adaptation issues. He aconsejado a parejas y a individuos quienes sufren de ansiedad, depresión y pánico. Tengo experiencia trabajando con sobrevivientes de abuso sexual. He trabajado extensamente con la población hispana con los problemas que surgen debido a las dificultades que se presentan al tener que adaptarse a una cultura ajena.

I take special pride in providing individual therapy to adult clients who are overfunctioners or perfectionists in the face of stress, those who demonstrate compassion towards others but have difficulty extending the same compassion to themselves, individuals who feel stretched thin by the demands of their life, those who wish to explore their relationship with drugs and/or alcohol or have a loved one with a substance use issue, and individuals impacted by trauma. Clients often work with me to address their anxiety (including OCD), depression, substance use, stress related to life changes, and relational difficulties.

Much of our day-to-day life demands that we keep thoughts and feelings to ourselves, minimize our emotional reactions, and conform to societal expectations that may not be in service of our true selves. Let's address it. My philosophy is relationship-driven, so it is important to our work together that we both bring our authentic selves into the room. If you have a trauma history, experience disconnect between your body, mind, and spirit, wish to experience yourself more compassionately, or generally want to make change, we may be a good fit. I want to support your processing as well as your empowerment.

You've just taken the first step in a journey to the New Life you deserve. The thought of finding a counselor you trust, feel safe and comfortable with can be a little scary, but so is the alternative: living with frustration, pain, fear and confusion...with no end in sight. I'm always amazed at the courage of my clients as they move from a painful existence to one of hope & joy and with confidence that they have the tools needed to create the life they want. Don't wait another day. Your New Life is waiting!

I'm so glad you're here! If you're looking for a therapist that means that you're considering a change in your life. Something isn't working the way you want it to; whether that's interpersonal relationships, work, school, or just the way you feel about yourself. If you're ready to work on finding balance and making some changes, then I would love to hear from you.
