My treatment methods
Structural Family Therapy
I was first trained in structural family therapy in grad school, it is a great foundational method that is very effective for a vast array of reasons clients seek therapy. It also is effective to use in combination with other therapeutic interventions and methods.

I love Rebecca. She provides the best solutions and is very compassionate and caring. After every session I always feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

My family was extremely nervous and did not want the therapy. Rebecca is a great listener and very easy to talk to. She made us feel comfortable.
