Adolescents and adults who work with me are often looking to better understand themselves and the world around them. I am passionate about working with the LGBTQ community, with a particular interest in assisting adolescents and young adults on their self-discovery and identity journeys. I also provide neurodivergent affirming therapy to autistic adolescents and adults struggling with mental health symptoms related to the challenges of fitting into a neurotypical world.

I provide a heavily relational, trauma informed, and eclectic approach to therapy. This means I utilize a number of different therapy modalities, and follow your lead in each session as to what your needs are. When you are in need of more concrete skill building, I draw from DBT, CBT, and ACT to increase coping skills, reduce stress, and feel better able to navigate complex and intense feelings. However, I consider therapy to be a relationship about much more than these skills, and typically provide longer term, psychodynamic oriented work in which we explore your history, the stories that make you who you are, and the way anxiety, depression, trauma, or aspects of identity may be intertwined.

About Rebecca (she/her)

I received my MSW from Boston University in 2017, and have worked in youth development, adolescent residential programming, and outpatient therapy, as well as providing clinical supervision since 2023. When I am not being a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, petting dogs, jigsaw puzzles, and crafty projects.

I believe that the identities I hold play an important part in and can impact the therapeutic relationship. These can and do include race, sexuality, socioeconomic status, neurotype, etc. I welcome questions and am open about the potential impact these identities may have on our work together. I seek ongoing education to provide an intentionally trauma informed, anti-racist, and culturally humble therapy space. Additionally, I practice from a HAES (Health at Every Size) lens and do not support intentional weight loss through therapeutic interventions in our sessions.
