Hi, I'm Rebecca. Welcome to Talkspace! I know people want to engage in therapy for a variety of different reasons and hope you are proud of yourself for taking this first step. I use an eclectic approach to help support each individual or couple towards the goals they have for themselves and/or the relationship. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one and free of judgement and criticism. It is a privilege to be able to support you in this process towards the life that you want to live. I look forward to the journey with you in therapy!
