Hello, and welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, relationships, transitions, and periods of uncertainty. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what is happening in your life and work toward meaningful change.
Throughout my career, I have worked with people from many different backgrounds and life experiences. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief and loss, trauma, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, communication difficulties, boundary setting, work-related challenges, and major life transitions. I also enjoy working with individuals who may not be able to identify one specific problem but simply know that something in their life needs to change.
My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and practical. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused approaches, mindfulness, and other evidence-informed techniques based on your individual needs and goals. I recognize that no single approach works for everyone, so our work together will be tailored to you.
My style is warm, conversational, and interactive. I will listen and provide support, but I will also ask questions, offer different perspectives, help you recognize patterns, and work with you to develop practical strategies you can use outside of our sessions. Therapy with me is a collaborative process-we are working together toward the changes that are important to you.
Whether you are going through a difficult period, struggling in a relationship, feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, trying to heal from past experiences, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, you do not have to figure everything out on your own.
You can come to therapy exactly as you are. We will start with what matters most to you and move forward at a pace that feels comfortable and productive. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey.

03 · What happens next
Rebecca practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Rebecca's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Rebecca at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Rebecca is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Rebecca.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Rebecca actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Rebecca's - Rebecca has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“With 16 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
