Hi, I’m Rasha. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and identity-related stress.

Therapy with me is about real tools, real insight, and real growth.

Hi! I am an LMSW (Licensed Master's in Social Work) therapist that has been working with clients experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, as well as a multitude of additional diagnoses over the past 3 years.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a supportive, safe space for clients where they can become their best selves and feel validated in their experiences.

I specialize in working with diverse populations, including veterans and their families, couples, and victims of trauma. While on active duty, I served the veteran population for 20 years as a staff chaplain and chaplain supervisor. I served as a clinical chaplain for 9 years at the Dept. of VA in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Recovery and Rehabilitation. I'm also a licensed master social worker and a certified addictions counselor with the National Certification Commission for Addiction Professionals. I am a firm believer in a person-centered, whole-health approach to healthcare and total well-being. If you ever need assistance for what could be described as symptoms of depression or anxiety, this may require a more comprehensive evaluation. If you experience poor appetite, lack of interest in normal activities, poor concentration, and frequent fatigue, additional information could be required in order to establish a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Seeking help at times can be very difficult. Some people believe seeking help for personal problems is a sign of weakness. In fact, the opposite is true; it's actually a sign of strength! I look forward to working with you and assisting you in getting your life back on track. I have committed nearly 46 years of my life to helping others. I'm very grateful!

I partner with my clients to build a deeper understanding of their unique psychological makeup and to address the ways past experiences may still be affecting them today. Together, we don't just identify the challenges you face — we explore their roots and develop practical, personalized strategies to reduce their impact on your life and relationships.

"Reconnect with your inner Wisdom." - Frank Anderson We come into this world knowing ourselves, knowing what we are about, who we mean to be. From the beginning, we are pressured to become what the world dictates we should be. We are pushed from our truth and molded into the roles expected of us. Family, religion, the educational system, friends, society, media, politics-all force us to deny the self and accept the roles thrust upon us. We are forced to deny ourselves, to forget ourselves. We are forced off our path. Inside you may know what is wrong, you may know what you need, and you may be afraid to claim it. Or you may only feel that something is not right: something hurts. This is the unbearable pain of being separated from our own inner knowing. This separation can look like anxiety, depression, grief, shame, anger, pain, guilt and so forth. My work is to help you back to yourself. We do this together through talk, through the creative use of therapeutic modalities, through releasing pain and embracing truth, to being present to what we find and what you decide you need to do to step into your authentic being.
