About me

Greetings! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and a Level-3 trained Gottman Method Couples Therapist. For 10+ years, I’ve guided individuals and couples to process interpersonal challenges to improve communication and connection. I also help couples and individuals process developmental trauma(s) that negatively affect their ability to maintain healthy relationships with themselves and others.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, I’ll generally get an impression of your history, goals, and what brings you to therapy at this time. With individuals, we’ll go in-depth on these topics. With couples, we will explore the Gottman Sound Relationship House, a concept that helps establish a foundation of relating between partners. I like for all my clients to know that I’ll keep surprises, but not secrets.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have fun with my clients! You can expect me to bring my silly self to the session. I create an environment that helps the client feel calm. As a result, clients leave feeling better than when they entered. My systemic approach helps to validate the impact that an oppressive home, community, work, or institution has on my clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My practice is centered around relationships. I enjoy working with couples and adults who are trying to sort through relationship issues, sexuality concerns, and questions of relational introspection. I especially enjoy making space for queer women of color. My ideal clients are highly motivated, self-aware, and open to the collaborative aspect of the therapy process.

Rachel was nice and made me feel heard. I felt less nervous as the session progressed. She seems very authentic, caring, and understanding. I believe she is going to be a great fit for me going forward. I'm looking forward to our next session.
