I'm Rebeca. I work with individuals and couples who have some curiosity about themselves and their relationships, and who are willing to explore, even if they're not sure how to start. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I see myself as a gentle guide, not someone who tells you what to do. But being gentle doesn't mean avoiding hard conversations or truths. I'm comfortable helping clients notice patterns and ask challenging questions while allowing you space to process and understand yourself or your relationship and the complexities of life.
I bring a mix of intuition and analysis to our work. I pay attention to what you're saying, but also to the patterns and emotions underneath the words, and I'll often share what I'm noticing and invite you to decide whether it resonates. A theme I see often is the tension between who people are and who they feel they're supposed to be, after years of meeting expectations from family, culture, relationships, or work.
There's rarely one simple explanation for why someone is struggling; context matters, culture matters, relationships matter, and sometimes people are carrying expectations from multiple worlds at once. That perspective keeps me curious and non-judgmental in my work, whether I'm sitting with one person or two. I also believe people are more than their struggles or the mistakes they've made, and that compassion and accountability can exist together.
Area of Focus and Interest:
- Individuals and couples
- Life transitions, parenthood, and older adulthood
- Anxiety, depression, and trauma
- Grief, loss, and chronic pain
- Cultural identity and moving between worlds
- Caregiving, parenting, and complex relationship dynamics
You don't have to be prepared for session with me, just bring your curiosity. If you're carrying something you've been afraid to say out loud, or you and your partner sense you've lost touch with each other or with what you need, let's talk about what working together could look like.
Outside the therapy room, my family fills my cup most. I love travelling, discovering new places and food, and being near the water, though I also need real quiet time to feel grounded. Coffee, music, a walk with my dog, or a board game with my family can be surprisingly restorative.
