Anthem Therapists in Dayton, OH

Maya Angelou said, "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." Our youth and young adults today are faced with unique challenges their families and loved ones could not have prepared for. Do you or your teen struggle to cope with the events happening in their life? I offer support, tools, and guidance for kids and families that are having difficulty navigating this challenging time. A healthy future can be possible. I also offer EMDR to help with trauma experienced by clients.

Life has many challenges, at times we all need a listening ear of support. If your tired of being sick and tired let's work together to gain a balance in your relationships and personal growth. I offer supportive and compassionate counseling to help empower you in meeting life's struggles. I have a holistic approach to counseling that builds from a person's strenghts, by identifing challenges and working towards achieving balances in everyday living.

"I believe that life should be lived with passion and meaning. Anything that is getting in the way of this can be changed or accepted. Through counseling, I will help you alter the course you and your loved ones are traveling in a compassionate and nonjudgmental way. Together, we will find more passion and meaning in your life." My academic training began at the University of Notre Dame, with a B.A., continued at the University of Dayton, with a MS.Ed., and concluded with a Ph.D. at Kent State University.

I most often work with an individual adult or teen who wants healing and growth: healing from trauma and pain, growth in relationships with others and within self. Most clients have a desire for more connection, truthfulness about themselves and their world, peace, and spiritual life. I also enjoy working with couples and families toward better communication and relational health.

I am interested in working with any client that feels motivated to make changes in their life or gain support through counseling. My approach to counseling is to empower clients to focus on individual strengths, values, and on becoming an expert of one’s own life.

Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the forefront of my work, though I’m aware this looks differently with each of my clients. I see the process of change as occurring in the context of relationships and through exploration of patterns that may be preventing one from living a fulfilling life. Through the discovery of these patterns, we can begin to understand how to live life more genuinely. I am a relational and psychodynamic therapist who incorporates various therapeutic approaches and interventions, including cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques.

I believe that mental health issues arise when we are faced with overwhelming emotions in isolation. Without the necessary support, emotions get so big and daunting that we defend ourselves against them, leading to numbness, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to invite intense emotions into the room so that we can learn to regulate them together and they can be reincorporated into the psyche, leading to a fuller and healthier life.

Accepting New Clients With Immediate Availability. Each of us is on our own individual journey. At times, we all need assistance to help us overcome the stumbling blocks that are in our path. These stumbling blocks may be from the distant past, recent past, present, or fear of the future and may be affecting us at school, work, home, in relationships, or all the above.

Issues and concerns Rebecca can address include children and adolescents with a history of developmental trauma, individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and PTSD, and couples/families experiencing conflict and distress.

I am currently accepting new clients. Life can be very challenging at times. We often take care of our physical health and other needs, but may not focus on our mental health. We all deserve to take a step back and take care of ourselves. Many times depression, anxiety and stress can become overwhelming. Taking time to focus on issues like these can help move life in a much more positive direction.

The personal journey that we walk throughout our lives will inevitably bring about difficult experiences, particularly when we feel alone in what we are facing. As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a trusting and safe relationship, seeking to help you understand the challenges and possibilities for change within your life, while also helping you navigate through uncertainties. While utilizing solution-focused approaches in therapy that attend to the dynamics of your inner life, my commitment is to support your emotional growth while emphasizing the possibilities for positive change.

I'm a therapist who believes that therapy should feel authentic and help people to change their life based on their own experience. I want to learn about you. I will be the trusted voice that will challenge you to grow, and also to remind you to be gentle with yourself. I work best with people living with depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, and abuse. I have an interest in helping people who experience chronic trauma and PTSD, as well as those who identify as adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional homes (ACA/ACOA).

I believe therapy can be a beneficial tool to assist those who are hurting, dissatisfied, or filled with uncertainty. Sometimes we find ourselves struggling in our relationships. We may have persistent sadness or worries that get in the way of life. We may have losses that are too difficult to process on our own. Or we may feel our life has just gotten off track. There are many reasons to seek therapy. Do you want to learn and try new coping skills? Do you want to improve a relationship? Do you want help working through a problem in your life? I can help. I offer therapy in-person or online and have evening availability.
