Born in California and raised in Texas, Rebecca attended Texas A&M University for her undergraduate education, majoring in Psychology. She did her graduate work at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas for her Masters in School Psychology.
Rebecca has worked in both the Houston and San Antonio areas as a school psychologist, and moved to Tennessee in 2008. In her time in Tennessee, Rebecca has served as school psychologist for Franklin Special School District and several charter schools in the greater Nashville area. Additionally, Rebecca is a registered yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance (RYT-200) and has been teaching over 8 years.
Over her years in the school system, Rebecca continued to see increased need for enhanced social-emotional supports for students. Drawing upon her experience and expertise, she developed a thoughtful approach to providing counseling services to students in the school setting. Integrating elements of yoga and mindfulness with both creative and traditional therapeutic approaches, she delights in leading individual and group sessions tailored to individualized student needs.
In her free time, Rebecca enjoys spending time with family, practicing and teaching yoga, cooking, being outdoors, and painting. She is thrilled to be a part of the Valor team, and excited for the upcoming school year!
