I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. We all carry things with us—our histories, relationships, expectations, losses, responsibilities, and the stories we’ve learned to tell about ourselves. Sometimes the things we’ve learned to carry help us move through life; other times, they become heavier than we realized. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what you’re carrying, and decide what you want to keep, what you might be ready to set down, and what you may need help carrying.

You don’t need to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start wherever you are and work from there. My role isn’t to tell you what you should do, but to help you understand yourself more clearly, make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, and find a way forward that feels genuinely like your own.

Hi, I’m Becca.

Reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step. Once you’re here, it shouldn’t have to feel hard. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need. We can figure that out together.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a doctorate in nursing, and I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, neurodivergence, and the complicated stuff that doesn’t always fit neatly into a diagnostic box.

I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy. More than anything, I believe good mental health care starts with actually listening to you. I want to know what’s working, what isn’t, what you’ve already tried, and what you want your life to feel like.

You are more than a diagnosis, and your care should feel that way.

A lot of the people I work with look like they’re holding life together on the outside, but inside they’re carrying the weight of experiences that never really had space to be processed. As a licensed therapist, with several years of experience helping people heal from the most painful and debilitating life experiences, I believe true healing begins when you finally feel safe again.
