I'm Becca- I have worked in social work for over eleven years, the last seven of those have been as a therapist. My passion is working with survivors of adulthood and childhood trauma (including religious trauma or religious deconstruction) using both talk therapy and somatic processing/movement (including yoga) I believe in a person-centered and ecological perspective. My techniques use Internal Family Systems, inner child work, somatic processing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, polyvagal theory, the Havening technique, and yoga.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session with me focuses on getting to know each other, seeing if the therapeutic relationship is a good fit, and then exploring particular issues that brought someone to therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I meet people where they are- if you aren't ready to dive into heavy issues, we work on emotion regulation and stress management first.

My treatment methods

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views a person as being made up of many parts, and these parts make a person who they are and help them survive. There are no good or bad parts, but some parts (such as an angry part, an anxious part, etc) can "run the show" and get in the way of functioning. I've used IFS to examine what parts are in control and how to work to heal wounded parts (maybe caused by trauma or just every day life) so that your best self can be in control.

Somatic

I believe that our physical health is impacted by our mental health, and that we need to address what is stored in our bodies. I like to relate our emotions with where it is felt in the body and introduce practices such as yoga, walking, etc to assist with the release of trauma.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I use DBT with clients to help improve distress tolerance and their window of tolerance. It is also helpful to utilize when there are patterns of self-harming behavior and exploring underlying emotions and urges to these behaviors.
