Finding the right therapist for you.
Am I the right fit for you?
The road to self discovery is scary, and you are taking the first steps in seeking out the right therapist for you.
It’s an important investment and you want to make sure you find just the right connection. My approach is deeply personal. Working with each person to learn and identify how they are impacted by the stories of their life and their history. In doing so, we are able to bring out what is truly possible.
Rebecca is an empathic provider who will work with you to identify your goals.
“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
The power of stories
I believe strongly in the power of our stories. From a very young age, we all start learning things about ourselves and our world. These “life lessons” start to turn into the stories we repeat to ourselves over and over again. They become who we are. Those stories are not always nice and they hold us back.
But most importantly, they are often not true! They are the stories we created when we were young and we have retold them to ourselves over and over again in a weird game of telephone with one player.
Rebecca will work with you to dig deep while feeling safe and confident in the process.
I work with people to help them unfold the stories of their lives
We identify what is helpful and what is causing harm, and work to move forward. I believe there is a significant connection between the mind and the body, using my trauma centered approach, we will work to move through the things that hold you back.
We will step down into the self and explore the “you” that is there. Discovering all the hidden strengths within your core.
What I do
I make use of traditional interventions such as cognitive behavior therapy, narrative story telling, mindfulness and meditation, and body centered grounding techniques. Together we will work to change the story you tell yourself about who you are supposed to be.
I work to attune to your needs. My style is flexible and my goal is to identify the interventions and perspective that will meet your individual needs most effectively.
Many of my former clients have told me therapy with me is like “clearing out the gunk”. That they don’t “feel crazy” anymore because for the first time they understand why they have struggled and they know how to work through these stressors moving forward.
“To love yourself is to recognize your body and to release tension in your body. To allow yourself to be nourished by feelings of joy, feelings of happiness.”

My specialty is in trauma informed, body centered interventions.
My areas of expertise include:
exploring stories and diving deep to heal and recover
understanding the painful language we use against ourselves and rewriting our own personal narratives
processing through traumatic events to move toward healing
creating balance and creating a restorative life
The clients I work with have struggled with anxiety and depression, grief and trauma, life changes, family conflict, and self esteem issues.
I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you put yourself back together again, learn to integrate different parts of yourself, and use your inner strengths to move through your biggest challenges.
I am also trained to treat Trauma directly using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Progressive Counting, and Emotional Freedom Techniques.
Removing the roadblocks to Quality Care.
I chose providing services through video, otherwise known as telehealth or teletherapy, to help overcome the things that get in the way of people seeking the quality care they deserve and need. I don’t want you to have to compromise your time, your schedule, and your life to get what you want. Therapy is a journey, and we will take it together. We will unlock what is possible for you.
How I became the provider I am today.
I always knew I was an empath and able to connect deeply with others and share their stories. I have been working my whole life to help others. I started in the field of health and human services at the age of 18, providing outreach services to at risk youth in Boston, Massachusetts. I went on to earn my BA at Clark University, majoring in sociology, Psychology, and Human Development. Through my education I began to clarify for myself how to hone my skills and provide the most service to others.
I went on to earn my Master’s in Clinical Social Work at Boston College, graduating in 2004. Since then I have provided therapy services to people of all ages, in settings from outpatient to residential. I care deeply about working with families and reconnecting people to themselves and their support systems.
I am the mother of three young children and our family recently relocated up to the quiet of the New Hampshire woods.
