About me

I’m Becca and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist specializing in pregnancy + postpartum mental health, anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery. I approach my work with understanding, humor, compassion, and a deep respect for your unique story. Together, we’ll explore both conscious and unconscious beliefs and experiences to create lasting change. I believe that when we create a trusting, nurturing, and safe space for all aspects of yourself to be known, you’ll often find that you’ve had access to a deep inner wisdom all along.

Prior to opening Nurture Therapy, I gained extensive clinical experience at a number of non-profit organizations in Santa Barbara, including Community Counseling and Education Center where I worked with families, couples, adults, and children. I also worked as a school-based therapist at CALM, where I supported families and children and focused on the treatment of complex trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. In addition to my training in Perinatal Mental Health, I'm trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), two evidence-based approaches to the treatment of trauma. I also previously worked as a primary therapist at a residential treatment center dedicated to the treatment of Eating Disorders.
