About Me
Hello and welcome! My name is Rachel; I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Coach. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, and certification trainings in Anxiety Treatment, Trauma Treatment, and Life Coaching. I’ve been serving clients since 2006 and I love what I do. Helping people grow and improve their lives is the most rewarding job I could ask for.
I’ve worked with clients ages 3 through 90 in settings from schools to prisons. Through these experiences, I’ve found the most important thing I can do is to show up as my authentic self… so it’s comfortable for you to do the same.
I value normalizing the messiness of life. I’m not perfect and I don’t have all the answers. That being said, I do have a unique perspective that my training and 19 years of experience have provided. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that nobody has it all figured out, but you CAN work toward a more rewarding experience in life.
In a world constantly pushing quick fixes, truly working on yourself demands that you slow down. It requires room to breathe, to be curious, to accept. It’s about finding the balance between tackling the deep healing work, facing some uncomfortable parts of ourselves, and laughing at the absolutely wild ride it is to be human.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, dating/relationship/sexual challenges, body image/food issues, and more. I work with couples on improving communication, overcoming conflict, and increasing closeness. If any of this speaks to you, don’t hesitate to reach out! I hope to hear from you.
Warmly,
Rachel
Testimonials
“For as long as I can remember I have always had anxiety and have struggled with bouts of depression. After experiencing back-to-back miscarriages, I knew I couldn’t continue trying to cope on my own. I knew for the sake of my future journey into motherhood that I needed to confront a lot of my fears, as well as heal my inner self. Rachel came into my life during a period of overwhelming grief, anxiety and childhood trauma slowly eating away at me. She helped me navigate everything I was dealing with while giving me a safe space to feel, cry, grieve, and talk about anything I needed to. Some days were hard, and others were fun and lighthearted, but as time went on I felt myself feeling more hopeful to continue pushing forward, and challenge my inner voice of anxiety. During our time working together I found out I was pregnant, and I wholeheartedly believe that the level of joy and peace I have now as a new mother wouldn’t have been possible if I hadn’t been working with Rachel leading up to delivery. She is kind, reassuring, knowledgeable, and knows how to help you confront difficult topics in all stages of your life. 10/10 therapist, 1000/10 human being!” - E.A.W.
“I tried therapy a few times before and it always helped a little, but working with Rachel was different. I felt like I could say what I needed to say because she wasn’t going to judge me. The way she explained things and made the conversations comfortable helped me find a different perspective and start making changes. It felt like talking to a regular person and that helped me stick with it. Now when I do feel some anxiety, I handle it a lot better and I feel better about myself too.” - S.L.
“I love love LOVE Rachel and have been recommending all my friends and family to go see her.” - J.M.
