I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are, while also feeling supported to grow in meaningful ways. I have experience working with individuals navigating trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that no longer feel aligned with who they want to be. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected internally. My approach is collaborative, open-minded, and grounded in both compassion and honesty.

Something within you has sparked the brave choice to seek mental health support, and I'm so glad it led you here. Often, we get accustomed to living within the limiting beliefs we have constructed in our minds. These limiting beliefs may look like fear, self-sabotage, and constantly thinking of the worst case scenario. Believing in a world where it's possible to shift from a mind that is used to imagining the worst possible outcome to a mind that is open to the highest possible outcome takes courage. I'm here to help you cross that threshold.

You are functional on paper — educated, driven, responsible — but internally, something feels off. Life changed (or is changing), and your usual coping strategies aren’t cutting it. Many of my clients are medical professionals, attorneys, and high achievers navigating burnout, identity shifts, or major transitions while feeling pressure to “handle it better.” You want clarity and perspective, not to be pathologized — just supported as you move forward intentionally. You’re ready to improve your self-awareness, goals, boundaries & assertiveness. You’re ready to become anew, feel in control of life again. Sound like you? Let's talk.

Hi, I’m Rebecca. I help deep-feeling, high-capacity adults who are exhausted from living in survival mode finally feel safe in their own bodies. Many of my clients are queer, neurodivergent, or first-generation, and they’ve spent years performing, over-functioning, or masking just to get through the world. You might look “fine” on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed or disconnected, especially when rest feels impossible or your nervous system won’t cooperate. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s broken, because you’re not broken. You’re stuck. And together, we can begin to move through.

I’m here to listen—with empathy, compassion, and no judgment.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counseling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.

What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.

How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
