Rebecca provides consultation to mental health professionals who want to strengthen their CBT skills or launch a private practice.

She welcomes clients from all backgrounds and enjoys working with people of diverse faiths, cultures, ethnicities, gender identities and sexual orientations. She is body positive, gender affirming, and comfortable working cross culturally. She has extensive experience working with the LGBT2Q+ community and people in polyamorous relationships.

Training and Qualifications

Rebecca has 10 years of post-graduate experience providing CBT in individual, group and intensive outpatient programs. She earned her Master of Social Welfare degree (MSW) with a Community Mental Health focus from the University of California, Berkeley. Her graduate program internships were with Civicorps and the San Mateo County Behavioral Health Department.

Prior to graduate school, she served on the Sonoma County Board of Mental Health, volunteered as a crisis counselor for survivors of sexual assault and taught leadership skills as a ropes course facilitator.
