Rebeca's Favourite Therapy Quote:
"Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously." - Prentis Hemphil
There are moments when life feels heavy—when you’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or moving through challenges you never expected. You may feel distant from those you love, caught in painful patterns, or longing for a space where you can feel understood. As a director and clinician at the Ottawa Psychotherapy Center, I support individuals and couples, of all identities, who feel lost, stuck, or carrying more than they can manage alone. My style is warm, relational, and deeply empathetic—I want you to feel safe enough to show up as your authentic self, without fear of judgment or pressure to be anything other than who you are.
Practice Areas
My treatment areas include: trauma (PTSD & CPTSD), 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 helping folks from minority groups and creating safe and inclusive spaces. I work with clients on a variety of topics such as gender, sexuality, sexual orientation, non-monogamy and kink.
Education & Experience
I have a Joint Honours in Sociology and Women's Studies from the University of Ottawa and a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
I have been in private practice for over 5 years and feel passionate about the work I do. I continue to seek opportunities to learn and develop as a clinician, through courses, peer-consultations, supervisions and research.
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) which focuses on the nervous system and attachment theory.
About Rebeca
When I am not working, you will find me outside either hiking mountains or running. Sunshine and movement 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.
I feel most centered in my purpose when I spend time learning about others' stories and connecting with humans, both in and out of sessions.
