Congratulations! Seeking help can feel daunting, but it also can bring about some wonderful results.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota. Over the last 17+ years, I have worked with individuals, families in their homes and couples. Their issues have included challenges such depression, anxiety, grief, family conflict and work concerns.
My primary focus is to provide you with a warm and accepting environment in which to look at the issues that are causing you distress. Through the use of cognitive, narrative and dialectical tools, we will look at the source of your concerns and ways to move through these difficulties.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Talking my life out with Rebecca has led to healing and happiness right where I am at. No judgement, just reminding me of my own strength.
Rebecca is kind and compassionate. She is easy to talk to and has been quite helpful to me.
This was my first session. I am very hopeful, as I felt listened to and cared about. She was very patient with me, as I was interrupting her often. I will try to fix that.
Rebecca is an amazing, compassionate therapist. Our sessions felt like I was talking to a loving, wise friend. I am taking a break for a while, but will absolutely seek her out for counseling services again.
I enjoy my sessions with Rebecca!!
Rebecca has been a tremendous counselor and I am so appreciative for her counseling and helping me get through a tough time in my life.
I love how flexible she is when I need to switch to phone instead of video. I love her listening skills and support and encouragement. She will also bring me back to what I am feeling not just whats going on! Highly recommend!!!
I really like Rebecca. She will help me, and I look forward to working with her more.
I have never felt like I “needed” a counselor, but since starting with Better Help and Rebecca, I don’t know why I didn’t start sooner. Rebecca listens to me and is so easy to talk to. I always look forward to our next session!
