For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Rebeca has over a decade of counseling experience. She's also a military veteran and a former special education teacher. She feels therapy should be an eclectic mix of modalities based upon what the client is looking for in counseling. Rebeca takes time to get to know each client and asks what goals they want to work on throughout therapy for a client centered treatment experience. Each session usually ends with "homework" so a client can put the skills they learn in therapy to use in their every day life. Her specialty areas include anxiety, depression, work adjustment, family trauma, PTSD, adult ADD and relationship issues. Rebeca sees adult and teens for individual therapy. Rebeca works with adults and teens through telehealth.  ​ Rebeca is also a mom, athletic enthusiast, and adventurer!

My clinical experience and continuous training have equipped me with the tools needed to assist clients reach their full potential. I have helped children, adolescents, adults and families with finding best practices tailored to their individual and group needs. I believe that there is a solution to every problem. Let's partner together to find your solution.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Are you repeating frustrating patterns? Do you feel unsure of how to move forward? It’s normal to feel this way when facing major life transitions in a complex and often oppressive world.  Working together, I will help you slow down and pay attention to what is happening on the inside with gentleness and curiosity to find answers from your inner wisdom. By changing your relationship with yourself, you can feel more grounded, confident, and authentic. Doing so will allow you to access your most profound sense of empowerment and make clear choices to lead a more meaningful life.  When you face major life transitions, you may feel anxious, sad, isolated, frustrated, or confused. If you have a chronic or terminal illness, grief from the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or a job, or are exploring your gender or sexual orientation; therapy can provide support and connection as you navigate challenges and choices.  While the lens through which I view the therapy process is existential and transpersonal, my work is fundamentally trauma-informed and social justice-oriented (anti-oppressive). The most common piece of feedback I receive from clients is that they feel more empowered, confident, and grounded after working with me. I am known for providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we explore your feelings, thoughts, choices, and values with gentle curiosity to increase self-awareness and self-compassion to improve your relationship with yourself and others. Together we can sort through what you are feeling to gain insight and relief so you can live with enhanced authenticity and integrity.    

It is not easy finding the courage to address the things that have impacted your relationships and prevented you from establishing and maintaining real intimacy. At Journey From Within, LLC, we want to help you navigate from the inside out and build a solid foundation that inspires, encourages, and supports each individual. So often, we are unaware of how our upbringing affects our current relationships. We want to assist you with learning to thrive in your relationships and not merely survive one individual, couple, and family at a time.

I am a licensed professional counselor, I use cognitive behavioral therapy, work with adults and children 

Therapy is a safely curated space between you and me that allows you to be your fullest, truest self. I offer non-judgmental acceptance and unconditional positive regard while we explore the experiences that brought you to this point in life. You may find yourself at the intersection of many dilemmas and I am here to help you process thoughts, feelings and behaviors that impact your view of yourself and the world around you. I am passionate about creating space to help clarify and untangle that which may be difficult to feel, perceive, or understand. I provide collaborative holistic therapy that is person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed. I am here to meet you where you are to provide the best support and guidance tailored to your individual needs through compassion, empathy and empowerment. My approach incorporates various evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT), Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, etc. in an effort to promote increased wellness and healing. My specialities include the treatment of anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, difficult life transitions and identity exploration, relationship issues, grief/loss and trauma. I’m also experienced in assisting clients in educational/career support to help them obtain their personal goals. Additionally, I have a keen interest in working with individuals of color who experience stress related to marginalization, acculturation and intergenerational conflict. I also have a strong passion for working with mothers through the lifespan of their parenting experience from infertility to wounded relationships with adult children. All stages of maternal mental health and its impacting factors are welcome for exploration.  

When working with clients my goal is to work myself out of a job. What I mean by that is, I believe my roll as your counselor is to teach you the skills and techniques necessary so you can reach your goals. If you are looking for a counselor who takes a collaborative approach to therapy while holding you accountable and highlighting your wins, then you have found the right one.
