Meet the therapist

Rebecca grew up and went to school in Northern California before moving down to Santa Barbara for graduate school at UCSB.   After nearly two decades of supporting neurodiverse students in the classroom setting, she decided to search for other ways to support families in her community, leading her down the path to pursue Educational Therapy from Cal State University Northridge. She is also proud member of Association of Educational Therapy (AET). 

​

Rebecca's passion is supporting struggling learners and their families, using a wholistic approach.  Researched-based multi-sensory activities, and mindfulness are integrated into each session. However, every student is unique and will be provided therapy sessions to match their individual learning profile.  She believes that the connection between home and educators is essential to the success of the student and she strives to keep an open line of communication with families, teachers, and allied professionals.   Her services are tailored to individual family needs including Ed Therapy services (i.e. academic & social emotional support), educational consulting, social skills support, executive functioning skills coaching, and academic assessment.
