Rebekah has quickly become my ride or die when it comes to therapy. She listens, with compassion and no judgment. She is kind, warm, and super present. And she offers practical helpful suggestions and in a non threatening, warm, approachable manner. She truly cares. I love my weekly sessions with her. She’s helped me so much.

Rebekah takes the time to understand the full you. She listens well and remembers details from previous sessions. She asks questions that help dig down deep into why you are feeling the way you are feeling. We’re only a few sessions in and I could not be happier to have her as my therapist!
