I also have expertise working with clients who are experiencing depression, grief/ loss, the unique challenges faced by the queer community, as well as distinct issues encountered by men in general.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, and frequently use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is the top-tier, evidence-based approach for the majority of anxiety disorders. With ERP, I help clients lean into their anxiety and distress in order to help clients learn how to better manage and cope with anxiety and discomfort.

Hi, I'm Rachel! If you're visiting my profile, you're already thinking about making a big change in your life. Beginning therapy can be very daunting, especially if you've never tried it before. My approach to therapy is that each person is unique, so therapy is rarely a "one size fits all" experience. Together we'll figure out what's going wrong, what's going right, and how to help you to feel equipped to cope with life's many challenges. Clients who work well with me are interested in exploring trauma, breaking relational patterns, improving coping and communication skills, reducing patterns of perfectionism, and finding balance.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
