Building resilience and connection for greater joy and meaning!
I believe that to reach our potential as humans, we need each other to learn and grow. I’m here to help you identify your specific needs so you can find more joy and meaning!
About Me:
I’m Rebekah (she/her). I believe that growth and transformation are possible and I’m eager to support you in your journey towards growth. I have been Licensed as an Independent Clinical Social Worker since 2014, and have over 20 years of experience in human services. I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Certificate in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Throughout my career, I have provided clinical care through inpatient mental health, outpatient mental health, and community-based settings. In addition, I have worked with Veterans and their families for more than a decade. I enjoy helping individuals build a greater awareness and build skills to navigate challenges and uncertainty. I have worked with individuals over-coming a variety of challenges and am most passionate in supporting clients to build resilience and develop greater self-compassion.
My Clients:
I have found my clients to be smart and capable and motivated to build coping skills. Some clients are seeking therapy for the first time; some are in various caretaking roles, managing work stress and burnout, or processing unexpected events. Issues that some of my clients are facing:
Infertility, pregnancy loss, trying to concieve and/or exploring other options to start a family.
Taking care of loved ones with a serious mental illness, navigating the mental health systems, boundaries, and self-care.
Looking to change family patterns to be more present in current relationships and parenting.
Realizing that prior behaviors aren’t serving them anymore; making the brave step to be more aware of emotions and behaviors and develop new skills.
Healthcare worker and professional burnout; discerning career next steps and self-care needs.
Veteran’s adjusting to civilian life and processing their time in service.
Therapeutic frame work:
I approach therapy with the belief that you are the expert in your own life and healing. Our work together is collaborative. I will listen to your story—your values, your strengths, and your needs—and offer education, feedback, and practical tools to help you move forward with confidence.
Together, we will build coping skills to relieve immediate stress while also exploring the deeper themes and experiences shaping your current patterns. My goal is to help you create meaningful pathways toward healing and growth.
I draw from several evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation (BA), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), self-compassion practices, and harm-reduction approaches to substance use. I tailor treatment to each individual and check in regularly to ensure the work we’re doing feels helpful and aligned with your goals.
Healing for Everyone:
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where everyone can grow and heal. I recognize that my own identities and lived experiences may be different from yours, and I remain mindful of the ways power, privilege, and systemic inequities influence both individual well-being and the therapeutic relationship.
I am LGBTQIA+ aligned and committed to affirming all identities. I will support you in exploring who you are, advocating for your needs, and navigating healthcare systems that may not always feel accessible. I welcome your feedback about how our different identities and perspectives show up in the room—your voice is essential in making therapy a space that truly serves you.
Inspiration:
I find inspiration and grounding in nature, art, movement, writing, and humor. Wildberry is part of my business name because nature has always been a source of healing for me, and wild berries carry a metaphor I hold close. They offer moments of unexpected sweetness along difficult terrain.
Blackberry bushes, in particular, symbolize resilience—strong and protective, yet capable of producing abundance in the right season. My hope for you is similar: that you grow and thrive even in unexpected places, and that your roots stay deep enough to keep you steady and protected as you navigate life’s challenges.
