(she/they)
Hello there! My name is Rachel! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. Living authentically, I’ve found my passion in supporting and guiding others within the community—including family, friends, and allies. I help individuals uncover their true identities, foster self-love, heal past wounds, and navigate the challenges that arise on their personal journeys.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our intake session, you can look forward to a collaborative and nurturing environment where you'll have the chance to openly share your thoughts, emotions, and the challenges you're currently facing. I will engage in a dialogue with you, asking pertinent questions to foster a strong therapeutic connection and customize the therapeutic process to suit your individual needs.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strength is creating a safe environment for clients to exactly come as is. To feel seen, accepted, and respected. Establishing an atmosphere where you can open up to be vulnerable and work through challenges or over come obstacles. You have the strength to do so, let me help guide and support you during your healing journey.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and allies who are seeking support in navigating identity, healing from trauma, and building more authentic, empowered lives. I am particularly drawn to supporting clients who are ready to engage in deep work through trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR. Whether you're processing past experiences, looking to improve your relationship with yourself, or striving to break long-held patterns, I offer a compassionate and affirming space to do that work. Office Hours: Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Eastern Time)

EMDR
In our sessions, I blend EMDR with regular talk therapy, creating a unique space for your healing journey. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences.

Gender-affirming therapy
My focus is on creating a space where you can explore, express, and celebrate your true identity. Together, we'll navigate the unique aspects of your experience, working towards a sense of wholeness and self-acceptance. I provide gender-affirming letters to assist you on your path to receive health care and surgeries that align with your authentic identity.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Together we'll delve into the practice of being more present, honing in on thoughts, feelings, emotions, surroundings, and situations. The goal is to move away from automatic responses and foster a deeper understanding of yourself.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Creating a nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I believe each person holds the wisdom they need to heal and grow, and my role is to support that process with empathy and authenticity. This approach invites clients to trust their inner healer, explore their experiences at their own pace, and reconnect with their values, inner strength, and sense of self.
