Rebekah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and former Division I athlete with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Sport and Human Performance from Adler University. Guided by the belief that life is a performance, she approaches therapy with intention, goal-orientation, and centers empowerment to help others live more fulfilling values-aligned lives.

As a high performing black queer woman, Rebekah brings an embodied understanding of what it means for high achievers to navigate a unique world of pressure and challenges. She primarily focuses on supporting performers such as current and former athletes, elite performers, performing artists, coaches, attorney’s, entrepreneurs, and c-suite executives. Drawing on lived experience and theoretical insights, Rebekah recognizes the time and energy put into striving for excellence, enduring acute stress environments, navigating grief from unexpected transitions, and the sacrifices that come with the lifestyle. She’s intentional about fostering spaces where people can feel safe to develop mental clarity, self-compassion, and a deeper sense of agency both within and outside of performance spaces.

Rebekah is passionate about supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks, performers, and others navigating the intersections of identity, performance, and belonging. She is especially passionate about supporting individuals experiencing performance anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, injury recovery, processing transitions in and out of performance, grief and loss, identity development, and OCD. Support can include building resilience to handle setbacks and change, establishing clear goals, practicing connecting with your body to regulate when in stressful environments, exploring motivation, navigating uncertainty or new meaning in identity, and reframing self-doubt and unhelpful thoughts.

With an approach grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rebekah integrates mindfulness, motivation-building, and strengths-based interventions into the therapy process. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, grounded in curiosity, authenticity, and care. Rebekah balances deep validation of where clients are with thoughtful challenge, helping them move toward the changes that matter most to them. Her passion is in helping clients become aware of the deep connection between their mind, body, emotions, and actions–and how that impacts their ability to show up confidently, authentically, and experience enjoyment in both life and their performance arena.

During her free time, Rebekah enjoys crocheting, embroidery, reading and watching anime, moving her body in many ways (rowing, walking, dancing, etc.), eating a lot of soup dumplings, and house music. You might even be lucky enough to spot one of her two kitties during sessions as well.
