Hi I'm Rebecca!
Currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at New York University, I am completing my clinical practicum at Ray of Light Mental Health Counseling Services. Although I am continuing my formal clinical training, I bring valuable hands-on experience from working in an OASAS-approved treatment setting, supporting individuals navigating a wide range of mental health concerns, substance use challenges, and co-occurring disorders.
My counseling approach is collaborative, person-centered, and strengths-based, incorporating cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, stress management, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe in meeting individuals where they are, recognizing their unique strengths, and helping them develop the tools needed to foster healing, resilience, and meaningful personal growth.
