Hi, I'm Rebecca, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve been working with children since 2001, both in educational settings and in clinical roles. Since 2009, I’ve also been supporting adults and families, helping them navigate challenges and improve their well-being. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help individuals and families thrive. I am a firm believer in the power of relationships as I believe they are incredibly healing. That being said, I come from an attachment and relationship-based perspective in which I value authenticity, compassion, and creating a safe space or container for you to come as you are.
In our first session, you can expect a warm welcome, and an opportunity to learn about one another. We'll discuss what brings you into therapy, your goals, interests, and begin developing a plan to meet your goals.
Are you looking to form a connection with a therapist that provides trust and safety for you to open up during your therapy journey? It has been shared, on many occasions, how quickly I build relationships which has helped my clients to better explore areas of their lives that had been avoided and take steps to heal and make desired change.
I am passionate about working with women and children, especially those experienced adversity and are ready to process and heal.
You are a unique individual with many strengths! We will focus on your strengths and build upon them.
Connection and relationships are powerful and transformative. I've always been interested in attachment and studied this within my Human Development in college. I later began working within the mental health field serving children and families and used this to help with communication and healing. This love grew when I transitioned to early childhood (0-5 years old) mental health consultation. These very early relationships shape us.
