EMDR & Somatic Therapy through Intensives and Extended Sessions | Online across Florida, Georgia & Colorado · In-person in Orlando
Do these sound familiar?
Knowing exactly what you’re doing—even while you’re doing it—and still watching the old response take over.
Something happened more recently, and you’re dealing with reactions you didn’t have before—or that suddenly feel harder to manage.
Promising yourself you’ll stay calmer next time, then snapping again. Patching things up and hoping they hold.
You want to feel close to the people you love, but being open about what you need doesn't always come easily. Even together, you can feel strangely disconnected.
Even when everything looks fine on the outside, your body still feels tense, wired, and exhausted.
You’ve already done a lot of work on yourself.
Therapy. Books. Podcasts. Journaling. Prayer.
You’ve gathered insight. You understand a lot about yourself. You’ve worked hard to apply what you’ve learned.
And still, all that understanding doesn't always change what happens in the moment.
A different way forward
Hi, I’m Rebeca.
I'm not a sit-back-and-nod kind of therapist. I'm an active part of the conversation—curious, engaged, and willing to explore what's happening together.
I draw from EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic therapy, paying attention to what's changing, what still needs attention, and when we need to approach something differently.
And if spirituality is part of your life—or something you're curious about—there's room for that here, too.
What guides my work
I believe…
We are whole people—body, mind, and spirit. Our emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual lives are deeply connected.
We're made for connection. Our relationships with ourselves, our bodies, God, and others matter.
Every part of you deserves to be met with curiosity and compassion, even the parts you've learned to hide, criticize, or wish away.
Your story belongs to you. Your voice, your choices, and your sense of agency matter. My role isn't to decide who you should become.
The ways we've learned to survive don't have to determine how we live the rest of our lives. We can honor what helped us survive while discovering new ways of living.
Healing is about more than what we're becoming free from. It's also about what we're becoming free for.
Specialties
-
You've talked about it, made sense of it, and understand why you respond the way you do. But understanding hasn't necessarily changed how you feel.
EMDR therapy helps you work with the memories, emotions, beliefs, and body responses that continue to affect your life, even when you've already done a lot of healing work.
-
You understand why you respond the way you do, but insight alone hasn't helped you respond differently.
Somatic therapy brings your body's responses into the work alongside your thoughts, emotions, and memories. I intentionally integrate somatic work with EMDR and Brainspotting to help you work with reactions and patterns that haven't shifted through understanding alone.
-
A good fit if something happened recently and you're still feeling the impact, or if experiences from years ago continue affecting how you respond to yourself, your relationships, or the world around you.
Trauma therapy goes beyond the story of what happened. We pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, memories, and physical responses, using approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic, body-based work to help create more room for choice in how you respond.
-
It's 1:30 a.m., and you're asking ChatGPT how to calm down because your mind won't slow down and your body still feels on edge.
By morning, you're pushing through again. Even ordinary tasks feel overwhelming, and by the end of the day, you're exhausted but can't seem to fully rest.
Anxiety therapy offers a place to explore what's keeping you caught in that cycle.
-
A medical diagnosis. A relationship ending. A life that looks nothing like you expected.
Not every loss comes with a funeral, and you shouldn't have to explain why yours matters. Grief therapy gives you room to feel what you feel without being rushed toward a new normal.
Imagine what could become possible
You're in the middle of a difficult conversation when you feel that familiar reaction rising. But this time, you can slow down enough to say what you actually mean. Later, you realize you handled it differently.
Something reminds you of a difficult experience. You feel the reaction, give yourself a moment, and find that you can go on with your day. It doesn't have to take up all your attention.
A family interaction gets stressful, but you find yourself handling it in a way you feel good about afterward. You can care about how others feel without taking responsibility for everyone's emotions.
You're laughing with someone you love, enjoying the conversation and feeling close. There's more room to be open and honest, to give and receive love, and to let yourself be known.
The house is finally quiet. You curl up on the couch with a blanket and a cup of tea, enjoying a little space for yourself without feeling guilty about it.
You find yourself asking, “What do I want?” and actually giving that question some room. Your needs don't feel quite so selfish anymore, and you begin imagining possibilities you haven't considered in a long time.
And maybe, over time, it simply takes less effort to be you.
How we can work together
I don't work in the traditional 50-minute therapy model. Instead, I offer longer sessions that give us more room to stay with what's coming up, without immediately having to wrap up because the session is ending.
Therapy intensives
A concentrated block of time focused on a particular experience, pattern, or area you want to work on.
Instead of spreading the work across multiple appointments, we set aside dedicated time to stay with what comes up, with room for preparation and integration.
Extended sessions
Ongoing therapy in sessions of 90 minutes or longer, typically meeting less often.
We have more room to settle into the work, stay with what's meaningful, and slow things down before you return to your day. The space between sessions gives you time to notice what shifts in everyday life.
