LCSW, 8 years of experience
I'm Becca- I have worked in social work for over twelve years, the last eight 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, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), polyvagal theory, the Havening technique, and yoga.
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.
I meet people where they are- if you aren't ready to dive into heavy issues, we will work on emotion regulation and stress management first.
I love working with anyone who feels like just talk therapy has not been enough for them. I also enjoy working with clients who are brand new to therapy but who are willing to dig deep and sometimes do homework so we can address their needs.
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.
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.
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.

Becca is wonderful and the kind of therapist you hope to find. She is direct in the most gentle way. I am so thankful I chose to trust my mental health to Becca.

Becca helped me to feel at home almost immediately after the beginning of the session. She brought up some very good points about my parts and we worked on solutions for some of my parts in the first session. She was authentic and easy to talk to. I am looking forward to our next session.

She was very good at integrating the thoughts I initially shared into her IFS approach and explaining them clearly to me.
