My schedule is currently full. My clients come to me looking for clarity, healing and hope that things can get better. Couples counseling is so worth the time and money when you choose to work on your relationship by actively engaging, being consistently present and make the time to find your way back to what matters. Embarking on this journey can help to illuminate the strengths and confront the challenges towards more effective communication, and discovering what repair can look like in your relationship. And if sometimes the journey heads in a different direction, we can explore those pathways as well.

Day openings on Tue and Thurs. Life can be unpredictable. When you compound the everyday stress with a person's experience of trauma, relationship challenges, financial burdens, moves or career changes, it can feel overwhelming and at times, unbearable. You are not alone. We can work together to help you navigate these difficulties and ultimately create the life you envision for yourself. I have fifteen years of experience working in a variety of settings including, rape crisis counseling, community mental health, college counseling and private practice.

Do you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and insecure? Has your relationship been wounded or lost its spark? Are you feeling dissatisfied or stuck with some aspect of your life and not sure how to make a shift? Has becoming or being a parent turned your world upside down? Life is full of transitions and stressors and it’s hard to stay in tune with ourselves, our partners, and our family members as we grow, change, and deal with stress. Sometimes we all need a safe space to process, reconnect, and heal – to speak our pain, communicate what we need, and be supported as we tap back into love and connection.

Working on issues can take time but the best treatment is the therapeutic relationship, which can open up to other underlining issues that may have hindered your personal growth.
My trainee will be starting in May and will be taking on new clients. Honesty, Authenticity, Reality. This is how I would define my style of counseling. I received my specialty training in cognitive-behavioral therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have developed a style that is down to earth, which focuses on working with the skills that an individual already possesses, while developing the abilities they need to bring them to the next level. I address the "here and now" while working on other skills that can/should be develop in the future. Reaching out can be hard to do but it is important.

Most importantly, the care I provide is rooted in a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship with those I serve.
Do you have a history of trauma? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Do you lose time and forget things you did or said? Do you feel distressed and out of control with no clear reason? You might be experiencing trauma-related dissociation, your body's way of coping with emotionally overwhelming events. My name is Becca and I specialize in healing complex trauma and dissociative disorders, including DID.

Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life? Are you feeling stuck in a relationship, job or an old pattern of behavior? Do you find yourself swept up in emotions such as anger, disappointment or anxiety? Many people come to me when they feel at a loss and have a desire to numb, withdraw or act out. Seeking support is the first step toward feeling better. I enjoy working with individuals who find it difficult managing their anxiety and stress leading to feelings of anger and isolation, or having trouble in relationships due to an inability to communicate their internal experience.

My approach is humanistic and existential, addressing both immediate and ultimate concerns of living. If you're feeling stuck and want real change in your life, for conditions such as depression, anxiety or resolving a past trauma, there's no way around taking risks and challenging established behaviors and belief systems. By moving out of your comfort zone, going deep inside yourself and far into the larger global community, I can help you. Using a variety of complementary techniques--you can learn to undo long-standing, maladaptive actions/reactions or negative perceptions that stand in the way of a more rich and meaningful life.

Hello, welcome to my practice. In our time together, my goal is for you to experience yourself as a unique individual along with understanding that there is nothing uniquely wrong with you. People are often judged for having problems. if you use insurance to pay for sessions, therapists are required to give you a diagnosis, indicating what is wrong and what needs to be fixed. This is not the way I look at people. There is no one who is free from suffering, which is not even the problem. Instead our "struggles" stem from a lack of compassion towards ourselves.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
