Rebekah is a pre-licensed therapist with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Sport and Human Performance from Adler University. Guided by the belief that self-acceptance and compassion can lead to more fulfilling and values-aligned lives, she approaches therapy through an anti-oppressive and affirming lens that centers connection, empowerment, and collective healing.

As a black queer woman and former college athlete, Rebekah brings an embodied understanding of what it means to navigate systems that weren’t built for you. Drawing from her experiences learning and growing alongside athletes and coaches, Rebekah emphasizes building authentic relationships with her clients. She’s intentional about fostering spaces where people can cultivate resilience, self compassion, and a deeper sense of agency both within and outside of performance arenas.

Rebekah works with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, trauma survivors, high performers, and others navigating the intersections of identity, performance, and belonging. She is especially passionate about supporting individuals experiencing grief and loss, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and perfectionism. Her special interest is in supporting athletes of color in predominantly white spaces, where pressures to represent one’s community, experiences of isolation, and lack of systemic support often compound existing stress or trauma. Drawing on both theoretical insight and lived experience, Rebekah brings an embodied and integrative perspective to therapy, helping clients identify and address barriers that keep them from living in alignment with their values.

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. She believes therapy is not about expert solutions but about walking side by side with clients, illuminating patterns, beliefs, and systems that shape our lives so we can move forward with greater freedom and intention.

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.
