People often seek psychotherapy when they face difficulties with their relationships, work, or mood. I strive to create a respectful and safe setting in which you may seek my guidance. My therapy style is interactive; I will give you feedback in addition to listening. I am happy to talk with you on the phone about how I may help. My approach is geared towards increasing your coping skills and insight regarding your problem. I use cognitive/behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic approaches. I believe my empathy and respect for you as a person is as important as my intellecutual competence.

The aim of my work is to help you draft and refine the narrative of your life, identify core values and beliefs, and look for ways to apply those values to strengthen your sense of self. Some of these narratives may include experiences of depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. As a therapist, I employ warmth, humor, and softness to create a space where you can identify and bring down the barriers keeping you from who you want to be. As a social worker, I wish to meet you where you are, then walk alongside you down your preferred path, simply helping with forks in the road.

In times of great vulnerability, mind-body awareness, self-compassion and insight guide the way to healing, self-empowerment and renewed purpose. We all carry these capacities within. My approach combines evidence-based clinical, holistic and mindfulness-based methodologies grounded in the leading-edge neuroscience of emotional wellbeing and personal growth. I am LGBTQ+ -affirming and committed to serving clients that reflect diversity in racial and cultural identity, gender identity, sexual orientation and stage of life.

Hi, I am Rachel and I am looking forward to connecting! Humans have a wide range of emotions and it’s okay to need some support navigating them. People come to therapy for lots of different reasons and sometimes they don’t even know the reason until several sessions later. It’s brave just to start! My goal is to meet clients where they are at and help them develop mindsets that allow them to evolve mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, or in their own way. I firmly believe our mental health matters and it has an affect on every aspect of our lives!

To live as the most authentic version of ourselves is one of the greatest services we can ever do. It is also one of life's hardest challenges. There are countless individuals seeking this now, and maybe have been for the entirety of their lives. In a world that doesn't make space for everyone, we can often feel alone in our pain and suffering. My passion is in offering what the world does not. With the right support and skills, I hope empower my clients in reclaiming the truest versions of themselves and get closer to living the life they want to live.

Do you identify as an anxious person? Does anxiety cast a shadow over your relationships, professional pursuits, confidence, and overall enjoyment of life? Do you often find yourself drained not just by the challenges of your day, but also by the persistent voice in your head or that unsettling feeling in your gut? In today's busyness, many women navigate daily life without the necessary tools to confront both the external chaos and the internal anxiety that accompanies it. I am deeply committed to the belief that, even in the face of life's trials, anxiety should not be the dominant force dictating your path.
