Who Am I?


Hello! My name is Rebecca (she/hers), and I am a licensed master social worker with experience supporting children through challenges like grief, trauma, anxiety, and behavioral concerns. I use play therapy and child-centered approaches to create a safe, warm environment where kids feel comfortable expressing themselves and working through big feelings.


Before becoming a social worker, I served as a cryptologist in the Navy, where I learned firsthand the importance of resilience and the challenges of feeling isolated from loved ones. I bring an open mind and heart to each session, and I truly enjoy seeing kids grow and discover their strengths. I believe every child has the potential to change and heal, and by focusing on their unique strengths, we can build confidence and resilience together.



I love working with:


  • Children and teens with ADHD, autism, or behavioral challenges who need help with emotional regulation, social skills, and impulse control.

  • Parents seeking strategies to support their child’s development, manage challenging behaviors, and create a positive home environment.

  • Kids and teens struggling with anxiety, stress, or trauma, with an emphasis on building coping skills and resilience.

  • Families looking to enhance communication and strengthen relationships within the family dynamic.

  • Teens managing peer relationships, academic stress, and self-esteem issues.

  • Children with sensory processing needs or difficulties in adapting to change or social settings.



Some of my favorite approaches include:


I am trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy and use this approach to help children express themselves, process emotions, and build resilience through play.
