Therapy for Grieving + Stressed-Out Women

Helping Women
Find Fulfillment, 
No Matter What
Life's Thrown Their Way

​If you’re anything like the women I work with, you’re here because your life just isn’t looking or feeling like how you thought it would. Because life is hard, and too full of things outside of our control.
  • You’ve been absolutely walloped by grief – because of a death, divorce, health diagnosis, or because of any big loss or significant change in your life. Grief visits us for so many reasons.
  • You’ve lost your sense of self, not even really sure who you are anymore, underneath all your roles and responsibilities.
  • You’re struggling with anxiety and stress – feeling overwhelmed all the time. 
  • The perfectionism that’s gotten you so far in life is maybe beginning to backfire. Because it doesn’t seem to matter that you’ve always done everything right – because something’s still missing.

​You keep getting hit with wave after wave of all the big, challenging feelings: sorrow, anxiety, anger, guilt, overwhelm, you name it.
It's a lot.
And it sucks.
It’s all getting in the way of living in ways that are important to you. You aren’t fully being the kind of person you want to be, definitely not for yourself and sometimes not even for others.

You’re feeling disconnected from yourself and from your life. You’re feeling lost, confused, and stuck.

And no matter how much you’ve got going for you – and you’ve got a lot – this is all just feeling like too much.

You feel like you’re utterly failing at being able to cope, and your confidence in yourself being able to figure this out is tanking.
​
You fear this is just your new normal now, struggling inside while trying to keep it all together on the outside. And you do a good job – maybe too good a job – on that last part, because everyone else believes you’re doing so well.

You’re desperate for support, but no one seems to get what you’re feeling. Hell, you’re not even sure yourself. You’ve tried to figure it all out. After all, you’re smart and thoughtful, and you’ve figured everything else out that’s ever come your way – but this is getting the best of you.
​And so now you're here – literally here, on my website (hi!) – and I'm so glad you are. You've come to the right place, because there is absolutely reason for hope.

​No matter what life is throwing at you, you deserve to feel fulfilled in your everyday life.

Working through and recovering from these struggles, in ways that are uniquely yours, is not out of reach. You can be the woman you want to be, for others and for yourself.

You can have what you're wanting – to rediscover yourself, find meaning in your life now, and move forward with a sense of hopefulness.

You're ready for your life to feel fulfilling again, and I can help you get there.

Meet Rebecca

I'm Rebecca (she/her). I'm hyper-organized and punctual, and so I apparently then seem like I've got all my adulting shit together. Don't let that fool you. 
 
My internal landscape can be just as messy as anyone's (we're all just people here, after all), but through my own experiences in therapy, and because of my training and experience as a therapist, I generally know how to tend to it well with gentle care and compassion. 
 
Even so, that doesn't change the fact that I don't like feeling any of the big, challenging, uncomfortable emotions any more than any of my clients do. 
 
Because I get it; this work – of being human, of being a human in therapy – is hard. I also believe it to be absolutely worthwhile.

My work is informed by progressive and feminist values.

​​These values are why I come to therapy from a Social Work background.
​We Social Workers are a rowdy bunch who refuse to accept the status quo.

My Specialties

​​Grief: Death & Dying

​Bereavement. What a formal word to describe something so fundamentally messy. Death and dying turns your whole world upside down – you’re completely rocked by it – and yet the rest of the world somehow just keeps going on.

​Your grief is completely overwhelming and confusing. One minute you think you’re maybe okay, and the next you’re a wreck. You want to figure out how to make sense of it all.

​You want to figure out what you’re supposed to do now. I can help.

​Grief: Loss & Change

We grieve for so many reasons throughout our lives. Anytime there is a change, there is a loss of something. And while it’s not often recognized, many of these losses do often come with grief.

​And this type of grief – whether because of loss due to divorce, illness, infertility, caregiving responsibilities and other roles we carry, shattered dreams or unmet expectations – is often really lonely and isolating.

​You’re ready for real support that’s actually helpful. I’m here to help.

​Perfectionism: Stress & Anxiety

You're stressed out and overwhelmed. You’re unable to fully relax or truly enjoy your life. You've gotten so far in life because of the high standards you've always set for yourself. But despite these external rewards, there's always something missing: happiness, fulfillment, contentment.

​Turns out, the promise of happiness as the reward for doing everything right was just a big lie. This is grief work, too: grieving the loss of that (ultimately harmful) illusion.

​You want to reclaim your life, on your own terms. I'd love to help.

I Want Therapy To Be

Convenient

Practical matters shouldn’t be an obstacle to getting help, so I offer 24/7 online scheduling for my clients, a secure patient portal to easily complete intake paperwork, and online therapy so you can fit getting help into your schedule.

Helpful

My sessions are engaging and collaborative, so you can get the most out of it. I won’t simply smile-and-nod at you, and I won’t be taking notes while you’re sharing. I keep my caseload small so I can do my best work for you. We’re in this together.

Authentic

My clients and I have zero interest in a stuffy or formal relationship in therapy. We care about building a real relationship with each other. That way, my clients can be fully themselves – no censorship needed! – while getting the help they deserve.

Useful Information

Online Therapy

My clients and I (perhaps surprisingly?) have both come to prefer online therapy. If you have doubts, I get it. I did too, once. Click below to learn why I was so wrong.

Rates

I am not in-network with insurance companies, but you have several options available to help with cost. Click below to learn more.

First Appointment

No need to worry about what to say or how to prepare! You don’t have to take the lead here; I got you. Our first session is a chance for me to ask questions so that I can get a better sense of what brings you to therapy and who you are as a whole person, outside of therapy.

Sessions

​Therapy sessions are 45 minutes, and clients schedule either weekly or every-other week. Many clients often later transition to monthly appointments, finding these regular check-ins a valuable way to keep supporting themselves.
