At Aurora Counseling, my mission is to guide individuals on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing, much like the gentle arrival of dawn after a long night. In a safe and compassionate space, I will help you navigate the deeper layers of your experiences, shedding light on your inner strength and resilience. Through thoughtful questions and empathetic support, we will explore the tough, often hidden parts of your story, uncovering insights that lead to clarity and growth. Just as the first light of day signals the promise of renewal, our work together fosters a sense of rebirth—creating a path toward deeper connection with oneself and others, and a life filled with greater peace and possibility.

Hi, I’m Rebecca!

Trauma Focused

I believe that our early relationship and life experiences shape who we are. Because of this, in my work with adults and teens, there is a special focus on navigating the behaviors, emotions, and beliefs that come from these early experiences. The behaviors, emotions, and beliefs can show up as anxiety, depression, perfectionism, difficulty in relationships, addiction, and more. Whatever it may be, I’m here to guide you in understanding and healing those parts of your story with compassion and care.

While searching deeper into yourself with curiosity and developing an understanding of the impact of early life experiences, I find that there is often a discovery of old attachment wounds. Attachment wounds can look like a fear of abandonment or rejection, setting incredibly high standards for yourself in search of validation, or avoiding close connections altogether. Despite the profound impact these wounds may have on your life and relationships, there is healing to be found. Together, we’ll explore inner-child and attachment-based work to reconnect with the parts of yourself that may still be carrying old wounds, and lean on skills such as mindfulness, guided imagery, and breath work. By holding space for these parts of you, we can shift long-standing patterns and make space for deep healing and growth.

Attachment Wounds

Insights to Action

Inner work doesn’t have to just show up on the inside. My goal in our work together will be to help you take the insights and growth that you gain in session, and turn it into tangible action. This will provide you the opportunity to shift away from cycles that feel unhealthy, and allow you to move toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships. I hope to create a safe space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. With warmth and empathy, I will meet you where you are and help you take the necessary steps forward, moving at your own pace.

Healing takes time. It arrives slowly, like the sun every morning, and brings with it a beautiful, bright light. At Aurora Counseling, I believe that this light exists within everyone, and together we can help you bring out your own shining light.

Outside of sessions, you’ll probably find me snuggling with my fur babies, playins sims 4, diving into a true crime podcast, adding to my collection of tarot cards and crystals, or geeking out over all things fantasy. I also love chit-chatting with friends, laughing until I cry, and visiting my long-distance bestie whenever I can. I believe that no matter where you are on your path, there’s always room for a little bit of wonder.
