Rebecca received her master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University.  Rebecca works with couples and families dealing with conflict, disconnection, trust, communication, and other relationship issues. She helps each person identify and change dysfunctional patterns, better understand each other’s feelings and needs, and learn to engage in healthier, more fulfilling interactions.  She also works with individuals struggling with PTSD, grief/loss, ADHD, depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues and life transitions.

 

Rebecca specializes in trauma resolution and provides a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore and process their uncomfortable or dysregulating experiences.  She works hard to ensure that her clients feel both physically and emotionally safe, which allows them to foster a deeper, more meaningful understanding of themselves and bring about lasting change.

 

Rebecca builds strong alliances with her clients and primarily works from a Person-Centered perspective.  But she often integrates other techniques and interventions (including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-based approaches) based on the needs of each individual.

 

Finally, Rebecca believes that everyone should have access to quality mental health care.  She is dedicated to helping marginalized and underserved populations and splits her time between Sonoma Valley Family Therapy and a community mental health clinic in Oakland, California.  Additionally, since 2021, she has served on the Board of Directors for the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).
