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.

I take pride in building a strong relationship of trust through humility, warm humor and complete acceptance of clients for who they are.
You might be feeling down on yourself right now or frustrated with your current situation. It might be a struggle to make it through the day at school or work, interact with family and friends, or manage daily activities. Are you upset and irritable because you can’t seem to cope like you did before? Have things been feeling pretty bad for a while, despite everything you’ve tried? Reaching out for support and an objective perspective is a smart and brave move when things are not going well. I’d love to discuss how we can work together on coping skills, finding solutions, and fostering lasting changes in your life and relationships.

I'm passionate about offering sex therapy, redefining relationship structures, and processing life transitions.
Are you finding it hard to break free of the same disagreements, while feeling unheard or unrecognized by your partner? I enjoy working with couples and individuals that are struggling with communication, trust, anxiety, depression, recurring disagreements, infidelity and affair recovery, sexual challenges, performance anxiety, and evolving relationship structures. If you want to improve your relationship while addressing what's been avoided in the past, I think we could be a good fit. For couples in crisis, we could discuss Discernment Counseling or an Intensive as a way to address concerns immediately.

I'm not a fan of flowery language or vague, idealistic words. My clients are real people who are contending with the struggles of life. They are frequently intelligent, complex, skilled, and hardworking. They're often looking to explore an issue they can't share with other people in their lives or one that others seem worn out on discussing. They might feel stuck, or like they've missed out on something important on their journey to becoming their current self. They might struggle with a relationship, problematic feelings, or behaviors that don't make sense. My clients are looking for the opportunity to set some things in order.

It's important at the beginning of therapy for clients to establish a helping relationship with themselves and their experience through the practice of compassion and mindfulness-based coping skills.
Everyone hopes to find a Therapist they will match well with in terms of personality and professional style, especially when they are suffering. Deep listening, compassion, and promotion of self-care and coping are values at the center of my practice. I attune topics and activities toward those that the client is most interested in exploring. Integrated Relational Therapy is the holistic, versatile framework that I use to meet teen and adult clients "where they're at" to address issues like trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, and addiction; through individual, family, and couples counseling.

Welcome! Going through a difficult time or a time in which you’re flooded with more questions than answers is hard but it can also be an invitation to discover strengths and supports you may not know you had. In therapy, you are invited to take care of yourself with more commitment, find what matters most to you, and listen deeply for answers inside of yourself. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can begin your journey home to yourself.

My therapeutic foundation is rooted in Beck’s cognitive theory and traditional behavioral interventions, where we look at the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and how they are affecting you today.
I have been a therapist for 10+ years and I'm licensed in both MA and FL. I’m especially passionate about serving clients in the faith community although it is certainly not a requirement to treatment. In particular, I have a special heart for those navigating anxiety and/or depression. I also enjoy providing therapy to clients experiencing life transitions and navigating relational challenges.

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.

Life’s transitions and milestones can be exhilarating but also overwhelming. You may feel tension in your body and uncertainty in your mind, making it hard to find stability. In these moments, seeking relief from pain and suffering is natural.

Based on personal experiences, I know how difficult it can be to reach out for help. No one knows your life better than yourself and while it is true that no one else can do the inner work for you, that does not mean you have to do it alone. ​ ​ Finding a skilled therapist is important; someone with whom you can establish a collaborative and trusting relationship.
