Rebecca has over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, having worked in a variety of settings including residential facilities, hospital behavioral health inpatient units, community mental health centers, and private practice. Through her experiences, Rebecca has learned to focus on what really matters to her: making high quality mental health care accessible to people who might not otherwise get this opportunity. By accepting insurance, choosing to work in or near marginalized communities, and choosing to hire diverse staff, Rebecca remains committed to making high quality, effective treatment accessible to individuals who normally might slip through the cracks.

Rebecca enjoys using Evidence Based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). However, she understands the need for therapists to see the person sitting in their room, feel what they are ready for, and apply the right kinds of interventions at the right times.

This way of thinking about therapy is also the approach used for supervision of staff members. Rebecca works well with individuals who are seeking help to heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety. She does not work with adolescents, children, or provide family or couple’s counseling.

A few years ago, Rebecca chose to expand from a solo practice to a small group practice due to recognizing that the needs of the community are more than she could meet on her own. She hires staff carefully based on their clinical skills, relatability, respect for clients, and passion for providing quality services. Rebecca is very proud of her small team and remains heavily invested in ensuring their success.

When Rebecca is not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family,friends, and dog. Her favorite activities include swimming, biking, doing yoga, and traveling. Rebecca is endlessly curious and likes to nerd out about art, music, television/film, green energy technology, sociology, memes and all things related to human behavior!

Specializing in short- term therapy for trauma

Because she wears so many hats at Shift Counseling, PC, Rebecca does not often have availability for new clients. When she does, she prefers to focus on short term interventions with people who have specific treatment goals. Rebecca is fully certified in EMDR and has received advanced training in using the Flash Technique. The Flash Technique is an intervention that was developed by highly trained EMDR clinicians who needed a way to make extremely distressing memories more able to be tolerated for processing. It is best used with people who have already done a lot of therapy or are receiving primary services with another clinician. Learn more about the Flash Technique here.
