About
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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events.

The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
