Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m passionate about helping kids (ages 8+), teens, and young adults who struggle with OCD, anxiety, Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) or other eating disorders feel more confident and in control of their lives. I've seen how difficult it can be as a parent to watch your child go through these challenges. My goal is to provide both you and your child with the tools to see real progress. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, compulsions, or food-related issues, I’m here to help guide you both toward lasting change.
In therapy, I focus on building a strong connection with your child to help them feel safe and supported. I use specific techniques to help kids face their fears in a manageable way, especially for OCD, so they can feel more in control. As a parent, you’ll also learn strategies to effectively support your child at home.
Together, we’ll create a path to help your child feel calmer and more confident. I’m excited to work with your family to help them develop the resilience and skills they need to thrive. If my approach resonates with you, schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me today!

"
I often use Exposure and Response Prevention and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my work. With ERP, I'll help you learn to sit with anxiety and gradually face your fears. With DBT, I'll help you build your coping toolbox to better handle difficult emotions and life stressors. In your first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and then discuss the most appropriate treatment plan.
