My international sex counseling clients have included West End and Broadway actors, Wall Street traders, waitresses, construction workers, and homemakers, all seeking a trauma-responsive, kink-friendly environment to address their sexual concerns. They aim to overcome STIs, erectile, ejaculatory & orgasmic challenges. On their own or with a referral from their healthcare providers, my clients desire enhanced pleasure, improved intimacy, and a satisfying sex life through self-exploration & tailored guidance, free from the constraints of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. In those situations, they know I will make the appropriate referrals.

Everyday we get asked “how are you?” However, we almost never respond truthfully. Whether fear of judgement, lack of effective communication skills, or something else, it is more vital than we realize to have someone we can open up to. I strive to create that safe, non-judgmental space where you can speak your truth so we can work together to help you build skills and reach your counseling goals. From those new to counseling to those returning to treatment, I strive to meet you where you are because there is no “cookie cutter” format to healing.

Every single one of us experiences anxiety, depression, sadness, loss, life transitions, attachments, emotions, and overwhelm at some point in our lives. It is this push from life that encourages us to expand, experience, and grow. Sometimes, however, these symptoms can pick up momentum in our lives after we've been through a particularly challenging situation. In order for us to halt that momentum and regain balance in our lives, we must learn to disrupt the patterns of thinking and behaving that are contributing to that dysfunctional cycle. My role is to teach you how to effectively break that cycle and get long lasting relief.

Life can feel like a tremendous gift or an incredible challenge - and sometimes both feel true in the same day. Therapy can help by providing space and support to better understand your own life, and how to align it more closely with your individual nature and purpose. This inquiry into who we really are is often catalyzed by difficult circumstances: when life as we knew it changes, or needs to change. Seasons of flux can become pathways to identity development, growth, and spiritual maturity. Undertaking life-rebuilding on purpose, with support, can create a trustworthy new source of self-confidence and increased life force.

The status quo tells us we can’t trust ourselves, our knowing, or our bodies. Rachael believes that our innate knowing - when we can access it, is not only the gold we seek, but the light we shine for ourselves and in the world around us. From experience with eating disorders, self-injury, trauma, chronic pain, couples and larger family systems and the LGBTQIA umbrella to professional work in issue focused non-profits/campaigns (and even performing), Rachael is deeply in tune with the political and social ecosystems that our intersectional identities transverse on a moment to moment basis
