“I believe that everyone has a story uniquely their own—and that story deserves to be heard. This belief grounds my work as a therapist and fuels my passion for helping you feel seen, understood and empowered as you work toward healing and personal growth. I see therapy as a collaborative process where you are met with compassion, honesty and curiosity, and where your goals remain at the center of the journey.”
Rebecca creates a therapeutic space that is warm, supportive and non-judgmental, where clients can safely explore their experiences and develop practical strategies for change. She is especially passionate about helping those struggling with eating disorders and body image concerns, and brings both clinical expertise and deep empathy to her work. She also enjoys working with adolescents, adults and families, supporting them through periods of transition, distress and transformation.
Rebecca draws on a range of evidence-based approaches to meet the diverse needs of her clients, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), supportive therapy, and psychodynamic perspectives. These modalities are particularly effective in treating depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma by helping clients explore underlying patterns, build emotional resilience, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and reconnect with their core values. Rebecca tailors her therapeutic approach to support meaningful, lasting change while honoring each client’s unique goals and experiences.
A clinician since 2007, Rebecca earned her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University and her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Hope College. She began her career at Catholic Charities working with adolescents and adults in outpatient care before serving in the Michigan Department of Corrections. She later returned to outpatient counseling to pursue her calling in eating disorder treatment, and currently serves as a Master’s Licensed Psychologist, Eating Disorder Coordinator and Regional Director at Pine Rest. Most recently, Rebecca earned her CEDS (Certified Eating Disorder Specialist).
In addition to her clinical work, Rebecca is actively involved in supervising clinicians, developing programming and providing education on the complexities of eating disorders and mental health. Her leadership and advocacy reflect her unwavering belief that every person’s story matters—and that therapy is a place where change begins by listening.
