Where You Are Now

Where Is Your Inner Peace?

Somewhere underneath the day-to-day, you know something needs to shift. Maybe it’s anxiety that won’t quiet down, a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall, a past that still shapes your present, or just a quiet sense that you’re disconnected from yourself.
You’re asking, “Is there more to life than just getting through it?” You’re ready for real change not just coping strategies, but a way back to feeling whole.
Our therapists bring a range of approaches including EMDR and trauma-focused care, couples work, and support for children, teens, and adults all grounded in a whole-person view of healing that looks beneath the surface, not just at symptoms.

“We never truly arrive — there is always more inner work to do, and that is the most beautiful part of the journey.”

Meet Rebecca

Hi, I'm Rebecca

As a therapist, wife, and mother of two active sons, I’ve personally felt the challenges of juggling multiple roles quite imperfectly, too. My own journey of recovery and inner work has deeply shaped the compassionate, holistic approach I bring to every client.

The trademarks of my work are three words my clients often hear: vulnerability, courage, authenticity. These practiced daily are the foundation of true connection and a life you genuinely love.

Through practical, effective, and dynamic therapeutic modalities, we’ll journey together to the root causes of your symptoms so you can move from depleted to truly thriving.

Ready to Begin?

Free 10 min consultation no pressure, just a conversation.

My office is at 486 Marsh Street, Suite A, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. I also offer virtual sessions via secure video or phone to all California residents.
The first session is typically 50 to 80 minutes. We’ll review paperwork, discuss your background, and set initial goals together. Regular ongoing sessions are 50 minutes.
Begin with a free 10 minute phone or in-person consultation, so we can get to know each other and determine if we’re a good fit. If so, we’ll schedule your first full session from there.
I primarily work with adults (18+) dealing with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, pre/postpartum challenges, meditation coaching, 12-step recovery, and relationship issues. If you want more freedom and joy in your life and are ready to take action, you are my kind of client.
It depends on your unique situation. Some clients come for a few focused sessions, others stay for months or longer. Together we’ll assess whether short- or long-term therapy fits your needs. Most clients begin with weekly sessions.
Our therapy practice accepts CenCal/MediCal insurance. We do not bill other insurance plans directly. For all other insurance, sessions are out-of-network, and payment is due at time of service (private pay).
Upon request, we can provide a superbill — an itemized receipt with the diagnostic and procedure codes needed for you to submit directly to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan’s out-of-network benefits. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to ask about your out-of-network mental health coverage before your first session.
Yes I offer secure video and phone sessions to residents throughout California, making therapy accessible wherever you are.
I request at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations under 12 hours are charged half the session fee; under 6 hours incur the full fee.
Friends are wonderful, but therapy offers 100% focused, compassionate attention from an objective professional with 20+ years of experience — plus practical tools for building lasting joy, well-being, and purpose.
Call 911 or go to your nearest ER for immediate danger. The SLO Crisis Hotline (800) 783-0607 is available 24/7. If you’re my client in crisis, call or text me I respond within 24 hours Monday–Friday.
