My practice and waitlist are both full.
My hope for therapy is to create an active, collaborative relationship where clients define their own goals and we work together using our individual and shared knowledge and strengths to find the best path forward. I emphasize open communication, mental and emotional flexibility, identities as strengths, and understanding processes rather than finding static solutions. I often focus on helping clients connect with their values and my work is grounded in the reality that our contexts (many of which we have not chosen) have a significant impact on our lives.

I'm Rebecca, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner (LSATP) with a passion for supporting young women and LGBTQ+ individuals as they heal from complex trauma, addiction, and emotional overwhelm. My practice is intentionally focused on clients navigating trauma-related and substance use challenges, and I strive to create a space that feels safe, affirming, and empowering. I do not currently offer services to cisgender men, as my clinical focus is dedicated to populations where I can offer the most effective and aligned care.
