Rebeca's Favourite Therapy Quote:
"Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously." - Prentis Hemphil
Being a human, especially an adult one, can be hard. The process of reaching out for help and finding a therapist you connect with can feel daunting. I am here to support you. We will explore your goals, the changes you want to make, and the kinds of therapy that might be helpful for you. Together, we will create a therapeutic environment you feel safe and comfortable in, so you can freely and authentically express yourself. My goal is to help you navigate life's hardships through an honest and compassionate approach so you can begin living your best life.
Practice Areas
I work with couples who are looking to improve their communication, resolve conflict, attachment dynamics and break free from relational cycles.
I also work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), self-esteem challenges, grief, infertility, major life transitions, gender/identity questioning, relationship issues and trauma.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, 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 practiced under the supervision of Reesa Packard, Ph.D., R.P. at the start of my career. I have worked at the Center for Interpersonal Relationship (CFIR) and have collaborated with the Ottawa Rape Crisis Center (ORCC).
Professional development is a strong focus in my career, as I strive to continue learning both professionally and in life. As a result, I continue to seek supervision throughout my career and often have courses I am enrolled in to further my understanding of humans.
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 integrative therapeutic approach. I believe in creating individualized treatment plans tailored to your needs by drawing from theories of attachment-based, existential-humanistic, psychodynamic, mindulness-based, trauma-focused, emotion-focused, dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioural (CBT) therapies.
Specific to my work with couples, I have training in PACT and Gottman modalities.
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 them, both in and out of sessions.
