Together, we can develop a client/therapist relationship in a safe supportive space, that offers an outlet to express emotions, inner thoughts, fears, and dreams.
Feeling stuck? Trapped by life? Helpless? Our daily routines can often result in a feeling of complacency that can prevent your life from changing. You know that gut feeling that lingers...this is your intuition letting you know a change is needed & I’m here to encourage you that change is possible. That quiet voice knows what you need, and your needs are important, yet often ignored. Self care is not selfish, it’s necessary. It’s a focus on stressing less about what’s out of our control, and making that choice to prioritize personal needs. You cannot pour into your relationships, family, job, or responbilities if you are empty.

Because I have over thirty years of experience, I am able to relate to a broad range of issues including: separation and loss, depression, anxiety disorders, traumatic stress, and relationship problems.
I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process. From this perspective, I have developed an individualized approach in which the relationship provides a safe place where feelings and behavior can be explored. Often, current struggles have developed over time so that connections can be made to past experiences. With this understanding a person can begin to make changes which lead to greater satisfaction and happiness. I bring a solid eclectic knowledge base to the process, drawing on individual dynamics, relationship dynamics, and an understanding of human development throughout the life cycle.
I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents (including their families).

I have professionally come along side people for over 25 years and seen the power of a therapeutic relationship.
The journey called life can be very painful. It has been one of the greatest rewards of my life to see people who have been negatively impacted by relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns turn their situation around . The power to change our life course, habits, and perceptions sometimes appears to be a never ending struggle. I indeed applaud you for reaching out because it reaffirms that people are not giving up and giving in to their situations.

She provides a safe relationship for clients to process their vulnerabilities, knowing she is with them, encouraging them, each step of the way.
Rachel works with groups, individuals, couples, and families and operates holistically, considering how mental, emotional, spiritual, physical/nutritional, social, environmental, and occupational factors impact overall well-being throughout the treatment process. Integrating various theories as “tools in the toolbox” to fit the client’s specific needs, she believes that once individuals feel accepted and worthy, they are empowered to begin making lasting changes in their lives. This carries over to couples and families as they learn to shift the relational pattern of behavior through focused emotional connection and understanding.

I work with individuals 18 years of age and older, who are primarily dealing with issues related to depression, anxiety, grief, life transition, trauma, college adjustment, domestic violence, and relationship problems.
I strive to help clients better understand and treat thoughts, emotions and behaviors which negatively affect their overall functioning. In order to achieve this, I primarily use a Person-Centered clinical approach, which means that through empathy and non-judgment, a person is able to discover more about him/herself and find solutions that will allow the person to move forward. When it is a good fit for the client and with certain mental health issues, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which relies more on techniques and reinforcement activities.

My belief is that effective counseling develops from establishing a collaborative relationship with clients, as they are the experts in their lives. Through psychodynamic therapy individuals gain a self-awareness and understanding of the influence of their past on present circumstances, and enables individuals to explore unresolved conflicts and symptoms that arise from past dysfunctional relationships and manifest themselves in current issues going in their lives. My belief is that people want to be healthy and happy and sometimes just do not know where to start.

Let's work together on ways to feel better now while also getting to the root of your discomfort so you can be free to enjoy this moment!

Space to express yourself and share your experiences in a non-judgmental and validating relationship.
You are looking for space. Space to feel. Space to think. Space to question. And yet it seems like every inch of space you have is given to people around you, your family, your job, your faith and there is no space left. And you are tired, burnt out and grasping for something, but you are not even sure what that might be. You have tried the discipline, the goal setting, the "fake it til you make it," the busyness, the books, the podcasts, the rigidity, the perfection, the formulas, the positivity, and yet you still feel stuck and without hope. Is this really what life is going to be like forever? No! It doesn't have to be like this.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
