Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! My name is Rebecca, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maine, as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the states of New York and Florida. I currently reside in upstate NY and have two amazing little humans. With more than 10 years of experience across various settings, I offer supportive therapy for situations including: LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, trauma histories, life transitions, and varying mental health disorders. “Anxiety can feel as huge as the big, blue sea, but remember that the sea is made up of smaller waves”. Sometimes life doesn’t make sense, we feel as though we're lost at sea, and our own navigational devices aren’t working. I provide a safe space to break life down into smaller more manageable waves, supporting individuals with redefining their navigational systems. I work with folks who are ready to unapologetically show up for themselves, find inner joy, and let that shit shine bright! I offer space that is warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental. I help you to heal past hurts and traumas; move through life from a place of empowerment, resiliency and courage; along with finding pride in your most genuine- authentic self. “You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore”. Therapy isn’t always easy, but it’s my goal to swim alongside you in order to provide support in navigating your way through the waves into calmer seas. We will work collaboratively to make change and meet your goals. Pronouns: She/They
