Thank you for taking time to read my profile. Please note that it can take up to 24 hours for your assigned therapist to respond to you the first time. However, rest assured that I do respond to new clients just as soon as I can!
ABOUT ME: I'm a licensed psychotherapist (California) and certified telemental health specialist with over 25 years experience in the counseling and coaching fields. I'm also an author, educator, and conference speaker sharing on the topics of trauma-informed psychotherapy approaches for treating adult survivors of child abuse; mental / emotional health and well-being; relationship issues; codependency; attachment trauma; betrayal trauma; complex trauma (C-PTSD); recovering from childhood psychoemotional abuse; family scapegoating; workplace / career issues; and dysfunctional family systems (including alcoholic family systems).
My past experience working in mental health clinics and teaching at a well known university in Palo Alto as Core Faculty, along with having my own face-to-face and online private practice for the past 15 years, allows me to be comfortable helping individuals of all ages and from all walks of life with their personal and/or professional issues and challenges. I have found online therapy to be a great way to support clients in the process of gaining the insight and self-awareness needed to make different choices so as to truly transform their lives. I'm also a life and recovery coach and career and executive coaching specialist.
MY APPROACH WITH CLIENTS: While therapy can indeed help you to gain new insights and increase your awareness, it is also important to integrate these new awarenesses into your everyday, ordinary life so that meaningful transformation can occur. In our work together I will help you to identify ways of being that are keeping you 'stuck', including current behaviors that may be causing you to re-create painful situations from your past. At the same time, I will be inviting you to explore and experiment with new behaviors that may serve you better today. You will also learn how to make healthy, empowering choices that are aligned with your values, which will allow you to create a new reality / life story based on who you most truly are.
MY THEORETICAL ORIENTATION: I will meet you where you are, find out where you want to go, and do all I can to help you to get there. My holistic focus means that we will explore your physical, mental, emotional, social, creative, and spiritual well being as we actively engage in the therapeutic process. Given my orientation is eclectic, I may draw from a variety of theories, including psychodynamic and attachment theories, Jungian theory, and gestalt approaches, emotionally focused and cognitive behavioral therapies, family systems, positive psychology, interpersonal and narrative therapies, and somatic therapies. I'm also very comfortable working with clients who aspire to live by their religious and/or spiritual beliefs.
It would be a true joy to partner with you in this next phase of your life adventure, wherever this might lead us. May your journey toward experiencing expansive health and well-being begin here...

When I first started with Rebecca I was genuinely a different person trapped in a life I was unhappy with. She has helped me and given me the tools, advice, and guidance to become more aware, change old unhealthy habits to new healthier ways, and to become my true authentic self. I am so extremely grateful for her knowledge and expertise in family systems and the work she puts in. I know she's in my corner. I have grown with her help.

Rebecca has been a blessing to me - the perfect therapist at the right time.

Rebecca has consistently done a phenomenal job of helping me psychologically and professionally. She possesses a rare combination of contemporary psychology coupled with business acumen. Because business is so intimately tied to psychology for me, there are few people that I can rely on to truly "Get" me, and Rebecca is one. Perhaps more importantly than the aforementioned, she has a natural love for humanity and it shines through in our sessions in that she truly seeks to understand and advise, even being willing to tell you the things you perhaps don't want to hear, or blind spots you can't see. Overall excellent experience

Rebecca has been my counselor for over a year now. I am deeply grateful for how she listens, asks questions and advises me. I feel that I am heard, cared for, and taken seriously. We have walked through my various challenging family situations together! I appreciate that with Rebecca's guidance I have more clarity on where I have come from, and insight into where I want to go.
