(she/her)
Hi, I'm Rachael, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and mom of three. Before starting my private practice, I worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting individuals through a wide range of mental health challenges. Those experiences, along with my own life perspective, shape the way I show up as a therapist today-grounded, compassionate, and real. I work with adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, and the impact these experiences can have on self-esteem and the ability to trust themselves and others. Together, we make sense of patterns, build clarity, and begin to heal so you can reconnect with yourself. My approach is compassionate, insight-oriented, and down-to-earth. I want you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are, no pressure or judgement.
In our first session, we'll start by getting to know each other and what's bringing you in. I'll ask some questions to understand your background and what you've been going through, and we'll talk about what you're hoping for from therapy. There's no pressure to have everything figured out. We'll move at your pace and begin identifying what feels most important to focus on.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to create a genuine, human-to-human connection where you feel truly seen and understood. I bring both clinical expertise and real-life perspective to our work, allowing me to connect deeply and help you move toward meaningful, lasting change.
I work with adults who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, whether navigating divorce, betrayal, or ongoing relationship challenges. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and a loss of self-trust. They are often seeking clarity, emotional balance, and deeper healing so they can move forward with more confidence and intention. I also help clients in gaining insight into patterns and building a stronger, more secure sense of self.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT as a part of treatment to help clients identify beliefs that may be keeping them stuck in unhealthy patterns
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have past certification in DBT, and while I don't use this method formally, I do pull from the DBT skills workbook for education in therapy.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I utilize mindfulness skills to help clients with emotional regulation and self-awareness.
Attachment-based
I help clients identify attachment styles and how they may be affecting relationship issues and unhelpful patterns.
