Rebecca has worked as an educator as well as an advocate both statewide and internationally since 2013. In her work at the Lewis and Clark Community Counseling Center, she gained experience serving varied presentations, such as grief, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, non-traditional identities, and relational dynamics. During her time at the National University of Natural Medicine, she worked with varied adult populations, addressing concerns such as burn out, stress management, perfectionism, trauma, infidelity, identity, self-esteem, chronic illness, career impacts, attachment patterns, acculturation, relational and familial challenges, and existential and spiritual inquiry. Rebecca also co-led a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) group centered on interpersonal effectiveness. Rebecca’s most recent experience was working at a group practice serving a diverse group of individuals, teens, and families, with a trauma specific focus. She has had experience working with clients within the juvenile justice system, including mandated populations, as well as those within the foster care system. Rebecca is passionate about supporting peri-partum and postpartum mental health care, and has prior experience supporting mothers and children in this area of focus. Additionally, she views systems, culture, and social location, as a pivotal aspect involved in client care. Rebecca joined the Rising Phoenix Counseling Services’s team in October 2022 where she is currently providing individual counseling services to adults in Southern Oregon who are struggling with life transitions, spirituality, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.
