Nice to meet you, I’m Becky.
I love to work with individuals of all ages and believe play can help process and release trauma no matter how old you are chronologically. I focus on helping people find the "ah-ha" moment of why we are stuck repeating the same unhelpful behaviors and then moving through those barriers. Using a strength-based focus, with humor and collaborative problem solving in my approach, I can aid you in discovering new ways of being.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Sandtray Therapy, Trance and Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to assist in processing trauma and grief, and to help individuals move through the blocks keeping them stuck.
