Rebeca's Favourite Therapy Quote:
"Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously." - Prentis Hemphil
Healing is relational. I am here to support you in moving through your trauma, attachment wounds and relationship issues by offering you a non-judgmental space where you can honor your authentic Self and explore new possibilities. Since our trauma and emotions live in our body, I believe that therapy needs to move beyond “just talking” and actually address the underlying patterns that affect you. In our sessions I show up with compassion, warmth and ready to do the work with you. Together, I hope we can co-create a meaningful therapeutic space that allows you to grow and flourish into the life you have always wanted for yourself.
Practice Areas
My treatment areas include: trauma (PTSD & CPTSD), childhood and adult sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, attachment and relationship issues, complicated family dynamics, sexuality, self-esteem, non-monogamy, women's issues and self-development.
In my couples work, I aim to help you improve your communication, increase your understanding of each other and help you break free from your old relationship patterns. I aim to build an alliance with both of you and support you in becoming a team again.
I am deeply committed to anti-oppression work and learning how to continue incorporating that into my practice. I work with humans across all identities and relationship styles.
Education & Experience
I have over 6 years of experience in private practice and almost a decade of experience in the mental health field. I have a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology and have continued education certificates in both individual and couples therapy. As a clinician and human, I am continuously striving to learn and enrich my life with knowledge through my own self-development, additional courses, consultations and peer circles.
Therapeutic Approach
My primary goal is to support you in living your most authentic and purposeful life. You are the expert of your own experience and I highly value your collaboration in the psychotherapeutic process. As a result, I work from a person-centered and attachment-based lens.
For individual psychotherapy, my primary modalities are Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and emotion-focused psychotherapy.
In my couples work I work from a Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT - Level 2) which primarily focuses on helping you build a secure functioning relationship.
About Rebeca
When I am not working, you will find me outside enjoying the sunshine, moving my body in some form or engaging my creativity. I feel most centered in my purpose when I am in connection with others and learning about others' stories. My beautiful partner, our growing family and the humans around me keep me grounded. Vanilla iced coffees and sushi never fail to make me smile. I love cats and would adopt too many of them if I could.
