Rebecca is a trauma therapist, educator, and lifelong student of what it means to heal and grow in relationship. She believes that people are profoundly shaped by what has happened to them, and equally shaped by the relationships, experiences, and choices that become possible afterward.
Her clinical work is grounded in trauma-informed and attachment-focused approaches, with a particular interest in helping people see the patterns that once helped them survive but may no longer be serving them. Using clinical modalities of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing and psycholytic and psychedelic integration techniques, she brings warmth, curiosity, humor, and honesty to her work, creating space for clients to feel deeply seen while also being gently challenged to discover new ways of relating to themselves and others. She believes therapy is not about fixing what is “wrong” with someone, but about understanding what makes sense about where they have been and supporting them in becoming more fully who they are.
Alongside her clinical practice, Rebecca is passionate about bringing trauma-informed principles into the larger communities in which people live and work. She provides training and consultation on trauma-informed care, and practical applications of trauma-informed principles for professionals and organizations. She particularly loves helping people take the often abstract language of trauma and attachment and turn it into something tangible: how we respond to a child, how we create safety in a room, how we understand behavior, and how we build relationships that make healing more possible.
At the heart of all of her work is a simple belief: people heal in relationship. Healing does not require us to become someone unrecognizingly different; it asks us to become more deeply connected to ourselves, more able to choose our responses, and more able to experience the safety, belonging, and connection we all need.
