ABOUT ME

As a Mexican American immigrant woman, I understand how challenging it can be to live authentically in a world filled with conflicting messages about who we are and where we belong. Disconnection, hopelessness, and oppression are binding spells cast by a system that benefits when we doubt or diminish ourselves. But I believe it is our birthright to live fully, rooted in our own truths and heritage. The more we reclaim this authenticity, the more resilient and connected we feel, ready to face life’s challenges on our own terms. Therapy can be the space where you return home - to yourself.

Coming home to ourselves is feeling welcomed, seen, loved.

In therapy we connect, re-connect, co-create, and seek harmony within us and with the world around us. My training in family systems will assist you in understanding and deepening your relationship to your roots, and cultivating the courage and compassion to live authentically, find liberation, and build the meaningful relationships you desire.

To me, therapy is a sacred space of connection. My therapeutic approach is socioculturally sensitive, collaborative, relational, and spiritual. Having experienced the challenges of being a first generation immigrant, I also bring my lived experience to the table, understanding the nuanced experiences of Latinx communities. My approach is influenced by the ancestral wisdom inherited from my Mexican heritage, and rooted in non-denominational spirituality.

I have a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Mercy University, one the largest private Hispanic-Serving Institutions in the United States.

TESTIMONIALS

“Sessions with Rebeca are empowering, and set me up to move about my week with intention, openness, and an increased awareness of my energy — both in noticing where I’m directing my energy, as well as building more discernment regarding what energy I choose to hold on to. As a practicing psychotherapist, my work with Rebeca has greatly impacted my clinical development.

— Kate B.
"Rebeca’s professionalism, thoughtfulness, and genuine warmth immediately assuaged any anxiety I may have had about the process. She is kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. After only 6 sessions, I have noticed profound shifts in the way I experience and navigate the world. Can’t recommend Rebeca highly enough!"

— Stevie B.
"I feel like I am breaking through my old patterns that do not serve me anymore much easier, feel supported, not alone, understood, seen, not judged. I am excited and motivated about every next session. So it all reflects positively on my life path. I have more strength, physical and emotional resilience. "

— Selma K.
