Hi, I’m Rachel!

Pronouns: she/her

Anxiety and depression often surface during life’s major transitions—graduating, starting a new job, ending a relationship—leaving you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the future. It can feel like the ground is shifting beneath you, making it hard to find stability or clarity. You might feel drained by constant worry, weighed down by sadness, or disconnected from yourself and others. I work with individuals navigating these pivotal moments, helping them find clarity and resilience amidst the uncertainty.

Whether you’re struggling with the pressure to figure it all out or feeling lost in the process, I’m here to provide support and guidance. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build tools to manage your emotions, and help you regain a sense of balance and confidence. You don’t have to face life’s changes alone—let’s turn this challenging time into an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

My Approach

I believe that every person holds the answers they need within themselves, but sometimes it takes compassionate guidance to rediscover them. My approach is client-centered, meaning you’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to support, guide, and encourage you along the way. At the heart of my work is fostering self-compassion—helping you see yourself with kindness and acceptance, even when things feel challenging.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, understanding that true healing involves the mind, body, and emotions working together. By exploring how these parts of your experience interact, we can uncover deeper insights and create lasting change. This intentional focus on your whole self fosters balance, resilience, and a sense of empowerment as you move toward a more aligned and fulfilling life.

I also draw on social justice values and feminist principles to ensure our work together respects your identity, experiences, and the systems that shape your life. My goal is to provide a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to reconnect with your strengths and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

A Little More About Me

With about a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families, I bring a commitment to compassionate, personalized care that meets each individual where they are. Working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds has shaped my understanding of how unique experiences, identities, and values influence our paths. I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone feels respected, valued, and truly understood. My goal is to foster a safe environment that empowers you to explore your challenges, uncover your strengths, and move toward meaningful growth and healing.

Outside of work, I find joy in spending time outdoors, traveling, and connecting with loved ones.
