About Rebecca
I have worked with families, individuals, and couples at multiple agencies in the Bay Area including the Community Health Awareness Council, the Salvation Army’s in-patient addiction center, and the YWCA’s Rape Crisis Center. I have also provided mental health counseling in several of the schools in Mountain View and Los Altos such as Springer Elementary School, Huff Elementary School, Egan Junior High, Graham Middle School, and Alta Vista High School. I have experience working with mood disorders, anxiety, suicidality, parenting challenges, family conflict, eating disorders, sexual assault/molestation, grief, marital problems, addiction, trauma, aging, and transitions.
The Way I Work
While I have training in a variety of different treatment modalities I draw the most from Cognitive Behavior Theory (CBT), Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. During individual therapy I like to balance the more cognitive approaches that provide insight on the thought patterns and core beliefs that cause you pain with more experiential approaches that facilitate the process of change during the session.
