As a therapist, I strive to create a non-judgmental space for my clients through warmth, engagement, and sometimes humor. It is my hope that my clients always feel supported by me, even when I challenge them to take accountability and change their patterns. I love to listen, learn, and form relationships with people from all walks of life. I have over 5 years of experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, perfectionism, disordered eating, and stress from work, school, relationships, and/or their families.
In our first session, my goal is to get to know you as best I can. I want to know what brings you to therapy now as well as the context for why you might currently be struggling. This might mean examining your past so that I can understand how you got here. After we establish a timeline, we'll choose each session whether we want to process the feelings you're experiencing or learn coping strategies.
The greatest predictor of treatment outcomes in the relationship between client and therapist. I focus on building connections with all of my clients throughout our time together. I was raised by a psychologist and as the oldest sibling, my strengths at listening, nurturing, and challenging (when appropriate) feel almost innate rather than learned.

With ACT, we learn how to tolerate rather than avoid distressing emotions, especially if we're trying to accomplish things that are aligned with our personal values. ACT helps us expands our willingness to face the uncomfortable through the art of detachment.
Every thought, feeling, behavior is a part of you, not the definition. By separating the self into parts, we can better understand how we sometimes stand in our own way. When these parts heal, we can make progress toward our goals.
It's always helpful to learn and practice coping skills because pain is inevitable. Not only can these strategies help us regulate, they can also increase our capacity for joy.

In the few sessions that we have had I feel as though she really has an a compassionate understanding of what I feel and need in my life to get past my trauma. I have had enlightening moments of clarity and understanding of things that have baffled me and contributed to my self destructive tendencies. I look forward to future sessions and growth that will come with her guidance.

i absolutely ADORE Rachel!! i’ve only done one session with her, but choosing her was hands down the best decision. she is so warm, kind, welcoming, and created such a safe environment for me. i’ve always been so nervous about therapy, but she made this experience so fun and left me with so much to think about already after one session!! inexplicably excited to keep working with her, such a genuine and kind person. if you’re deciding between two therapists, Rachel’s top choice 100%!!
