Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve seen how trauma and loss can reshape us and how, with compassionate care and evidence-based support, it’s possible to rebuild strength, balance, and a renewed sense of self. I aim to make mental health treatment feel like a conversation, not a clinical checklist.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 6 years of experience supporting individuals on their journey toward emotional well-being and stability. I’m passionate about helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood instability, trauma, and relationship stressors. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where healing and self-discovery can take place. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working together to help them regain a sense of balance and control in their daily lives.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Western University of Health Sciences. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric care with empathy and empowerment, focusing on each person’s unique story. I integrate medication management, education, and lifestyle strategies to support both symptom relief and long-term growth.
Taking the first step toward care is a powerful act of courage. My goal is to make you feel understood, valued, and supported as we work toward greater peace and stability. I’m here to listen without judgment and help you uncover your strength, purpose, and clarity. When you’re ready, I invite you to begin your journey toward healing with me.

Throughout my own journey, I have learned how powerful having a strong support is in developing the skills needed to commit to our values and goals, have love and compassion for ourselves and experiences, and build strong self-worth and self-efficacy to guide us through life. I strive to be that strong support for others and foster lasting change for personal development. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and understanding how experiences shape who we are.
My name is Rebecca and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have ten years of experience working with children and adults through crisis residential, outpatient case management, in-home services, and therapy. I support individuals with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, stress responses, or childhood traumas to process difficult events or emotions while identifying and aligning with personal values to work towards individual goals. I believe you are the expert of your own experience and having a safe person to witness and explore your experience is highly validating, fostering deeper connection with self and others.
I partner with individuals through Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to support emotional flexibility and process traumatic events or chronic stressors. My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration while using trauma-informed and communication to reinforce a safe therapeutic alliance.
I commend you on taking this next step- while it might be overwhelming, you deserve to take the time and space to invest in your healing with support that feels safe, compassionate, and attuned to you. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and I’d be honored to support you.

Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks San Diego.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in San Diego, CA have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in San Diego, CA is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
