Inspiring Trust in the Body's Intuitive Wisdom

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Virginia, which I received in 1978. In addition to my academic training, I am certified in Imago Relationship Therapy and Integrative Group Psychotherapy.

Other training includes Psychomotor Therapy, Hakomi Therapy, and various forms of movement and expressive arts therapies.

My private practice as a psychotherapist was established in 1993. Prior to that I served as Assistant Dean of Campus Life at Emory University for twelve years. In 1990, I completed yoga teacher training and have since taught classes at Emory University as well as a variety of yoga studios.

Whether teaching a yoga class, facilitating a workshop or interacting with clients, my desire is to inspire trust in the intuitive wisdom of the body.

Therapeutic Style

For thirty years, I have guided many people in a variety of practices to increase self awareness, access intuitive wisdom, and soothe the nervous system.

Whether individually or in a group setting, my emphasis is on helping clients learn to observe the body and mind with curiosity and kindness rather than judgment.

My experience as a psychotherapist includes assisting clients as they navigate challenges such as:

  • Lifestyle transitions
  • Relationship dynamics
  • Fertility issues
  • Adoption
  • Elder care
  • Authentic self-expression
  • Deepening one's spiritual practice

Within the safety of a therapeutic relationship, I will meet you where you are and support you in in this sacred journey of transformation.

Essential and life-giving...these words emerge as I reflect on the profound impact of Rebecca's presence and teaching on my life journey over the past 15 years. Her grounded wisdom and compassionate spirit create a unique and sacred space that allows for deep reflection and healing. My heart continues to brim over with gratitude for Rebecca.
