There are many reasons why you might be looking for a counselor, but the search always involves a certain amount of courage and humility. Maybe things in life are not turning out as you've planned; or, you've woken up with a hangover three too many times or you can't quite kick your late night consumption of an endless scroll of pornography; or, perhaps, you've never quite gotten past the death of a loved one or a choice made during a heated conflict of war. Perhaps your fighting with your spouse, struggling to discern your vocation, or a myriad of other possibilities; whatever brings you, I commend your brave and humble beginning.

Hello! I am Rachel, an individual and family therapist and licensed independent clinical social worker. I work with teens and adults, offering both individual and family therapy. I specialize in working with clients who have anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, autism, and depression. I also support clients experiencing phobias, OCD, grief/loss, and trauma. I partner with clients seeking to strengthen their stress/coping skills, relationships, communication skills, boundaries/self-care, and esteem/self-acceptance. I welcome LGBTQ+ identifying clients. I have taught meditation for 30 years, for those who would like to learn in-session.

Ultimately, my goal in therapy is for it to be a positive experience for you. To help this happen I strive to be warm, accepting, non-judgmental, and compassionate towards your needs to help you heal. Insurance providers require a diagnosis, but I feel clients should not be defined by their diagnosis. Working together I strive to be a guide helping you, rather than the leading you in life. Counseling should be a place where you feel heard and comfortable expressing yourself.

I have extensive knowledge working with patients with psychosis, substance use, and at high risk of suicide.

The journeys that we take in this life inevitably can lead us to joy, success, happiness, and fulfillment. However, at times, they can also lead us to pain, failure, depression, and emptiness. When your journey hasn’t gone as planned, it can be important to lay out a roadmap, and find your way again. Through mindfulness-based counseling, I can help you to heal and thrive! As a client-centered professional, I am committed to walking your journey with you, as you discover how to live life to its fullest potential. To help aid in this, I create spaces for clients that encourage empowerment, vulnerability, and growth.

Couples/Families: Close relationships can be difficult. Top issues that bring couples into counseling include: Money, In-Laws, Parenting, Housework, Sex, and Emotional Intimacy. Relational issues left untreated often cause couples to live in "quiet desperation" or all-out warfare. Couple and familial relationships don't have to be a series of endless arguments or giving up and feeling alone. With awareness, skills, and practice relationships can change for the better. I would be honored to help in this journey so that you and your loved ones can recover the joy, fun, and deep connection that first drew you together.

Hi, welcome. I’m Rachel (they/them)! I believe human suffering wells up from a myriad of different sources. It is human nature to suffer, but what we do with it creates our life path. A major factor that may heighten your deep sense of pain is the lack of someone willing to be present in your pain and listen to your story. People innately desire to be seen and have their stories witnessed. Unfortunately many in society fear this intimate act of witnessing, leaving many to experience the void and pain of isolation in addition to their core suffering. One of the first and greatest steps toward healing is to have stories witnessed.
