My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps you become aware of how your thoughts and behaviors are interconnected. Negative or unhelpful thoughts can lead to distressing emotions and behaviors that reinforce those thoughts.

EMDR

EMDR therapy works on the premise that our emotional well-being is tied to our physical (somatic) state. Therefore, EMDR employs a body-based therapy technique called bilateral simulation. During bilateral simulation, a therapist will guide a client through eye movements, tones, or taps in order to access and move a memory that’s been incorrectly stored to a more functional part of the brain.

I chose Rachel due to her wonderful reviews and she didn’t disappoint. I’m going through a tough transition in life and need a little extra help. She did a great job making me feel comfortable and getting me to open up. It feels like talking to a friend. I will continue meeting with Rachel weekly.
