Therapy for Grieving + Stressed-Out Women

I Help Women Find 
Meaning and Fulfillment, 
After Their Life's Been Turned Upside Down With Loss, Change, and Stress.

​If you're anything like the women I work with, you're smart, successful, kind, and thoughtful. Everyone knows they can turn to you and count on you. You're someone who's always got it all together, and it's no surprise that you've created a great life for yourself.

And yet – no matter that you've always done everything right – your life has just been turned completely upside down ...

By a death, a divorce, an illness, unrelenting caregiving responsibilities, a crushed dream, or the searing gut-punch realization that you're just not enjoying this life you've built for yourself. 

You're typically so sure of yourself, but now you've lost your sense of self, no longer sure who you are or what the hell your life looks like moving forward.

​Life is feeling hard and so full of things outside of your control.

You keep getting hit with wave after wave of all the big, challenging feelings: sorrow, anxiety, anger, regret, 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 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 still 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’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.

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

You can be the woman you want to be, for others and for yourself.

​No matter what life's throwing at you, you can have clarity, meaning, joy, and purpose.

You're ready to find a sense of fulfillment in your everyday life 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 and relentless. Your whole world has just been turned upside down, and yet the rest of the world somehow just keeps going on. 

​You know you're supposed to grieve, but now you're not even really sure what that means. Because, yeah, you're sad and there's tears ... but there's also so much more: anger, guilt, fear, and sometimes even relief (yes, relief. If that's you, you're not alone).

​You want to figure out how to make sense of it all and 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, our many roles and responsibilities, and 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. We have to first grieve the loss of that desirable, but ultimately harmful, illusion.

​You want to reclaim your life, on your own terms this time, and 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.

All the Benefits of In-Person Therapy, None of the Hassle

Useful Information

Online Therapy

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

Rates

I don't accept insurance (click below to learn why!), but you have several options available to help with cost, including utilizing out-of-network benefits. Keep reading 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.

Let's talk! I'm here to help.

Whether you’re ready to schedule yesterday, or you’re just dipping your toes in the water (it’s warm, I promise!), I’m here to help. 

We both want you to find the therapist that’s the right fit for you.

So let’s chat. Whether by email or phone (your choice!), you can ask any questions you may have and we can see if we’d work well together. And if I end up not being your right fit, I’m absolutely happy to help with referrals to point you in the right direction.
