Hi, I'm Rachel (she/her). I believe therapy is most meaningful when it’s collaborative and grounded in trust and that real healing happens with compassion and curiosity. I view therapy as a flexible process in which we work together to explore your goals at your own pace. I value the strength it takes to show up for yourself. Therapy with me is not about labeling or fixing. It’s about deepening your understanding of yourself, building insight, and developing tools to help you navigate life with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion
I am committed to fostering a brave and affirming space for individuals of all backgrounds and identities, including those who are LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent. Whether you’re navigating OCD, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, or looking for a space where you can feel truly seen and heard, I’m here to support you.
My approach is rooted in person-centered care and grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life. I have specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and I integrate techniques from evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, SFBT, ACT, and MI, tailoring our work to what resonates with you.
