Greetings! Are you feeling overwhelmed by day- to day issues? Are you struggling in your relationships, or having difficulties communicating with others? Do you just need a safe space to vent? These are all normal daily occurrences. This may be where you'll begin in therapy. However, the goal is to increase coping skills and decrease adverse symptoms as time progresses.

From an early age, I discovered a strong passion for helping others. During high school, I was deeply influenced by my favorite teacher, a student of renowned psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg, best known for his theory on the stages of moral development. Her mentorship inspired me to pursue a career in the helping professions, where I could make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. I went on to earn my undergraduate degree in Human Services with a minor in Gerontology, laying the foundation for a career focused on compassion, advocacy, and evidence-based practice. Over the years, I have specialized in working with individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.

Therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

Congratulations for taking the first step towards your healing and self discovery. The successful therapeutic process requires a safe connection with your practitioner. If after reading my profile you suspect my skills are aligned with your needs, we can set-up an exploratory session to create a plan that works best for you in our partnership together. I understand that looking for quality therapeutic services can feel like a challenge and as the world evolves, so does the sense of ourselves begin to unfold. I value and advocate for the dignity of all cultures, respect our differences, and provide a safe space to explore the injustices we encounter. In the early days of my career, I began with an interest in the grassroots work to help strengthen communities. I've supported many individuals throughout the world with a strong interest in healing and teaching others on how to find their own voice. Over the past 20 years, I've practiced in a variety of treatment modalities with a strong focus on a holistic approach. I hold a dual Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work and Leadership. Within my professional journey, my expertise in delivering therapeutic services range from Early Childhood Development to Older Adults in a variety of settings but not limited to e.g. schools, hospitals, nonprofit, community programs, and residential treatment. Today, my specialties include trauma focused therapy, psychotherapy, defining our attachment styles, CBT, mindfulness techniques, life transitions, work-related stress, coaching, and exploring intergenerational patterns. I'm passionate about the Arts and have incorporated them into my practice, which influenced my style of therapy. This modality can help connect the mind and body in ways to recenter and express ourselves. Ultimately, my goal is to help uncover some of the challenges you're facing and amplify the strengths you already have.

Hello! My name is Rachael and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has several years of experience in the field of mental health working in agencies, schools, group homes and private practices. Empathy is my strength, and I utilize this, warmth, validation, and honesty in working with clients to help them create the change they've been longing to achieve but maybe thought wasn't possible. Whether you're seeking therapy to process and learn to cope with painful life experiences and past trauma, are working on healing from past DV/IPV relationships, depression, anxiety, body image and eating concerns, substance use, strained family relationships, a partnership where you both just can't seem to connect or see eye to eye like you used to - I'd love to help! My training has allowed me to view mental health concerns and life's struggles in a way that takes into consideration not only you as an individual, but the relationships within your life and how they both positively and negatively impact you. I'm here to provide support, strategies, a calming presence and an empathetic ear to help facilitate meaningful change in your life and show you that we're all doing the best that we can every day, and that we can learn lessons and find glimmers of hope in our everyday existence. I'm adept at helping my clients reframe difficult thoughts that can overtake the mind and impact your ability to have the happy, healthy life that you deserve. I can help clients recognize that our perceptions are our reality, but maybe at times we can benefit from shifting our perspectives to allow us to see beyond the confines that we, and others, have created for us.
