Grief counselors and therapists in Columbia, MO

I am drawn to matters of the heart, the deep questions we ask, how we find meaning, move through pain, and become more free. My own healing through relationships, therapy, spirituality, expressive arts, and body movement led me to become a therapist. I completed my MA in Couples and Family Therapy from Seattle University in 2019, opened my private practice in 2021, and have trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy for 6 years. I also bring experience as a yoga instructor, doula trainee, and spiritual seeker.

Welcome! My name is Rebecca and I specialize in helping those that have experienced trauma. My interest in therapy rooted from being part of a military family and noticing people that were left to sort through the pieces trauma left behind. I completed my education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and developed a lot of impactful tools since. I worked with survivors of violence for 5 years while working with a variety of other populations in private practice. I have a passion for my own ongoing education and bringing what I learn to session. I enjoy connecting with people and recognizing we're all doing our best.
