This is the therapy that gets to the point: real tools for real change.
Therapy in-person in Fair Oaks & online across CA, CO, SD, & NV.
You know what needs to change in your life, but no idea how to actually make it happen.
You’ve probably been to therapy before. You were told to learn to “cope”... the only problem is, no one explained what that really meant. You’ve tried the breathing exercises and different distraction tricks, but life still feels out of control, and you wonder if all those hours spent talking in circles were worth it.
Now, you’re in the middle of a major shift—a divorce or breakup, career change, loss of a loved one, or shift in identity—and this time, you don’t just want insights into why you feel this way.
You want tools you can use and changes you can feel.
Hi, I’m Rebecca.
Helping you build a bridge between what you know & what you do.
If you’re looking for someone to nod along while you vent and send you on your way, I’m probably not your person.
I’m a no-bullshit therapist who believes in honesty, accountability, and creating change that shows up in your real life — not just in your head. That means I’ll challenge you, but I’ll also meet you where you are with humor, realness, and zero judgment.
Therapy with me isn’t about staying stuck in endless talk.
My job is to give you the tools so that one day, you don’t need me anymore. It’s also not about having all the right answers—instead, it’s about learning how to sit with the hard stuff, take ownership of your choices, and start moving toward something better.
Because mental wellness isn’t about feeling good all the time—it’s about learning to manage the full range of what it means to be human.
Specializing in…

Maybe you experienced something in your past that has never really left you. Whether it was an isolated event or a series of ongoing ones, the way you show up in your life and relationships is undeniably influenced by the beliefs it instilled in you. Right now, it feels like you’re just surviving—exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in patterns that keep hurting you, even when you know they don’t serve you.
I use evidence-based trauma therapies like EMDR, Brainspotting, ART, and talk therapy—so we can find the approach that fits you best. You won’t have to relive every detail to feel better. Instead, you’ll learn tools to calm your nervous system, shift stuck patterns, and start living with more freedom in the present.

Maybe you feel numb, anxious all the time, or just plain tired of pretending you're fine. Even if you've tried to push through or talk yourself out of it, things still feel heavy. If you’ve been asking yourself, “Is this just how things are now?”—I want you to know there’s a future where you feel differently.
I work with you to figure out what’s getting in the way, rebuild your energy, and start making changes that actually move the needle—not just in theory, but in actual day-to-day life.

Trying to live as your truest self can feel like you’re constantly translating who you are into a language the world doesn’t quite understand. Whether you’re questioning, transitioning, or just tired of performing a version of yourself that doesn’t feel right, this space is for you.
Here, you don’t have to explain your identity to be seen. I’ll support you in navigating the tough stuff—family, relationships, self-doubt—while staying connected to what makes you feel most real and most you.
You don’t need to be fixed.
You need a space that doesn’t pathologize your pain or slap a smiley-face sticker on it while your life feels like it’s falling apart. I’m here to help you tell the truth—especially to yourself—and figure out what’s yours to carry and what you can finally set down.
We’ll talk about boundaries, flexibility, self-trust, and all the ways fear keeps us rigid and stuck. I’ll help you bridge the gap between insight and action so you can stop settling for surviving and start actually living.
What to expect:
THERAPY WITH ME is:
Direct, honest, and grounded in real connection
A space where you can be fully yourself—no masks, no pretending
Focused on actual, tangible change (not just talking in circles)
A balance of challenge and compassion—I’ll push you, but never shame you
Seeing your strengths, even when you can’t
A place where humor, truth-telling, and growth can co-exist
THERAPY WITH ME is not:
Pathologizing—you’re a human, not a list of symptoms
About chasing perfection, “fixing” you, or erasing your feelings
Sugarcoated or performative—I’m not just here to tell you what you want to hear
Indefinite—I want to teach you everything you need to no longer need me
Rigid or one-size-fits-all—we work with what actually works for you
Passive—we name the patterns you’re stuck in and work to shift them
