Rebecca has provided psychotherapy and parent work in community based mental health agencies and private practice settings, and has led psychotherapy groups around themes of grief and loss, self esteem, and shifts in identity.

She uses elements of play therapy, mindfulness, and artistic elements to create a space where children and adolescents feel safe to freely express themselves in a language that feels comfortable to them.
