Are you ready to let go go old habits and ways of thought that shackle you? Would you like to move through your stuck places, your anxiety and your depression? Many people believe they are stuck in anxiety and depression when what they are really dealing with is a spiritual crisis. Once we bring in a level of work that acknowledges the very real struggles that they are dealing with, people begin to heal in new ways.

Raquel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and EMDR Therapist who provides a container, a safe and compassionate space, to explore the areas you seek to shift or expand. Her style is warm, intuitive, authentic, compassionate, and direct. Raquel naturally uses a trauma-informed lens, and leans towards a Psychodynamic, Attachment, and Person-Centered approach to get a big picture of you and your experience. She believes we are better able to shed layers and get into deeper truths when we feel seen, safe, and heard, from a supportive non judgemental person.

Life's challenges may overwhelm your ability to cope and leave you confused and distressed. As a skilled therapist, I can assist to make this time fruitful rather then just a time to get through. I provide a safe comfortable place to focus on your experience of life. You will receive kindness, respect and genuine caring. My approach is client directed,with compassionate inquiry and creative exploration, using collaborative problem-solving to assist you in restoring your balance and moving in a positive direction; often with deeper insight and a greater capacity for joy and contentment.

Whether it’s to self or others, I believe that a sense of connection is where individuals thrive best. I work from a strengths-based perspective allowing individuals to capitalize on already existing skillsets to support their healing and expansion. We explore and integrate practices that have a meaningful resonance with the client and further cultivate a deeper sense of identity, purpose and connection. We also work beyond symptom removal and further explore the depths of the psyche and soul with the intent of discovering profound meaning in our suffering. You cannot heal what you cannot feel.

A Traumatic experience is like an injury and can have a long lasting effect and impact the way you perceive and interact in the world. Individuals experiencing trauma may have difficulty regulating emotions such as anger, anxiety, sadness and easily feel overwhelmed, numb and shut down. Trauma not only affects our relationship with ourselves but impacts our relationship with others. I am also a TFMR Mom that had a Stillbirth. I am passionate about serving other parents who have experienced TFMR, Stillbirth and Child loss at any point. The grief that accompanies this loss is tremendous and isolating. I am here to help.

I have over thirty years of clinical experience helping clients find lasting change in their lives. My clinical focus is treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma including dissociative disorders. When working with trauma, the healing process can often be frightening and painful to address. Talk alone is not enough and can be retraumatizing in some cases. I use EMDR. My goal is to provide a professional, yet personal atmosphere where you can experience comfort and safety in exploring what is troubling you and find effective tools and skills that you can use in your life.

When did life become this elaborate performance? Like you're the only actor and everyone else is the audience? You don't remember putting a mask on, but there it is, a kind of false you. You're sick of the mask, but taking it off would mean confronting fears of intimacy, conflict, and emotional expression, not to mention the possibility of outright rejection and abandonment. So you keep it on. The mask protects you. Thank goodness for the mask!

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns in our mind, body, behavior or relationships. Other times we experience significant loss or an unexpected change in life. We can start to feel distant from ourselves, values and passions that get lost along the way. This can leave us feeling anxious, uninspired, disconnected, depressed or stuck. If you made the decision to reach out, you may have tried to make changes or cope on your own, but are struggling to achieve the peace or growth you seek. Therapy offers the comfort of navigating these challenges within the context of a private, safe and trusting relationship.
