Do you struggle with sex getting more daily attention than your closest relationships? Maybe a previous infidelity or betrayal continues to plague the relationship? Many of my clients struggle to make sense of emotions, but long to feel safe and connected to friends and family. Despite our best protective strategies, emotional experiences will not be ignored. Over a lifespan, adaptive protective strategies of the past become our prisons. Mal-adaptive in the present, old and helpful strategies of the past form the barriers to trusting safe and connected relationships we all desperately desire.

As a counselor of marriage and family therapy, a family systems lens is foundational.
Everyone occasionally gets in a rut or gets stuck from hurts or unhealthy habits.

Life experience, personal crises, and various roles have given Rebekah a vast base from which to pull to help you maximize your God-given potential, overcome challenges, and celebrate the joys of life.

Society puts so many expectations on mothers- be a willing, present parent but still keep a career; drink enough water, exercise, keep your house clean, and feed your family healthy meals but still get enough sleep.
Growing up, you dreamed of being a mom. You were sure you'd always love being with your kids, make healthy meals they'd love, and have fun, educational activities planned every day. Turns out, parenting is exhausting, kids ask the same questions all day every day, and you also have to take care of your household which leaves you drained and irritated. This was not the dream! You don't want to yell at your kids to clean up every day. You want to still have energy for your partner to be the fun person you used to be. You've lost yourself and you want to find your way back to that dream life you imagined.

Hello everyone! Thanks for taking time to read my profile. I help Disconnected Couples, Restless Entrepreneurs, and Anxious Adults. When I entered this profession, I realized that everyone on the planet needs a safe place to go where they can be completely themselves...and say anything they care to say. At times we need to chat with someone who's not part of our family or friend circles, someone with the training and skills to navigate confusing thoughts, emotions, relationships, careers, and matters of faith.

"I need something to change" is a great place to start. Counseling can be a place to facilitate this change. You may find that you are speaking one language while your spouse is speaking another. You can learn how to have a common language and corrective experiences that draw you closer together instead of further apart. Many of your wounds occurred in relationships, thus it is in relationships where they can be restored. I have served individuals and couples in a helping profession for nearly 30 years. You can find practical solutions as well as deep soul and relational change. Though not easy, real change is possible.

I believe that your current life situation is influenced not only by whats going on right now, but by our family, social influences, work environment, and much more.

In today's society we are constantly connected, pulled to work more, do more, guilt-fully pulled away from things we love to do, from family and friends- losing sight of who you are. I work innovatively to find the right balance of support and motivation to decrease your anxiety, stress or depression and to increase trust in yourself, your decisions, and to find more of what you want out of life. I work to align who you are with who you want to be, and to find a sense of comfort in the chaos of life.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
