My name is Rebeca (she/her). I am originally from Brazil, have a multiethnic identity, and speak Portuguese and Spanish. I live and practice in Portland, OR. I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2020 and bring nearly 15 years of experience as a master-level psychotherapist across diverse clinical settings, including outpatient psychotherapy, crisis services, community-based work with Transitional Age Youth (TAY) experiencing serious mental illness, shelters for unaccompanied immigrant youth, a foster program supporting immigrant and refugee youth, and a domestic violence shelter. These experiences deeply shape my values as a supervisor and the lens through which I support developing clinicians.
I currently run a private practice providing trauma-focused therapy and serving individuals from historically marginalized communities. My clinical focus includes trauma, attachment wounds (including work with adoptees and individuals with a history of foster care), intergenerational trauma, cultural identity exploration, anxiety, depression, and the impacts of marginalization and systemic oppression.
My supervision approach is collaborative, strengths-based, culturally responsive, and anti-oppressive.
I aim to support clinicians in building strong clinical foundations while integrating cultural humility and trauma-informed practices into their work. I have in-depth training and experience in Mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE), and my therapeutic orientation is also informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Liberation Psychology.
Supervision is available for Oregon licensure only. If you’re interested in working together or would like to see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free consultation.
