About me

I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with over 20 years working in the field of mental health in Florida. I am also a college professor and doctoral candidate studying Ministry with a focus in Christian Leadership and Strategic Growth. I enjoy researching the field of neurotheology and neuroscience. I am Certified in Biblical Counseling and enjoy utilizing faith-based modalities as a counselor.

I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist and I am Certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have a special place in my heart for those who have some form of neurodivergence and are attempting to navigate a neurotypical world. My desire is to help others in times of hardship, meet people where they are and walk alongside them during difficult times. I do believe that faith and having a sense of purpose greater than yourself are key components to life-long healing.

I have worked with many populations to include children struggling with attachment, and sensory dysregulation; adolescents struggling with emotional regulation, executive functioning, and peer relationships; adults experiencing domestic violence, anxiety, or addictions; and active duty military struggling with the realities of deployment and reintegration. I have worked in inpatient settings, outpatient settings, forensic/court systems, and in community development settings. Lastly, I consider it a blessing and privilege to have the opportunity to come alongside pastors and ministry leaders struggling through the complexity of ministry life or in overcoming spiritual burnout.

My therapy style is direct but warm. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in utilizing stigmatizing labels.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Written on Mar 04, 2024 after therapy with Rebecca for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, anger management, coping with life changes, and coaching

She’s the only one that understood me

Written on Mar 02, 2024 after therapy with Rebecca for 7 months on issues concerning adhd

Rebecca has been since the very beginning a very patient, focused listener and then gives her best guidance all while asking questions to better under what I am going through. She will provide Biblical backing on things she is saying if I ask but it never feels like she is being a "judgy Christian" which I really value! I feel very fortunate I was matched with her and look forward to our talks.

The Lord placed her in my life and for that I’m so thankful!!

Rebecca has been integral in my healing. Being neurodivergent and coming from a religiously abusive background. She has given me the tools to sort how my mind functions and making sense of my past to best help me in the present and in my future.
