We often find ourselves getting stuck in unhealthy patterns or using strategies that no longer serve us. Change is hard, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Rachel is passionate about helping others to feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges, whether that is learning healthy coping skills, or gaining new insight into patterns that can lead to positive change and healing.

Rachel welcomes those coming to therapy for the first time who might feel hesitant or unsure of what to expect, as well as those who are interested in restarting care for other reasons. Rachel integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and other methods to help you meet your personal goals. Rachel’s hope is to provide a space where you feel cared for and understood so that your work together can form meaningful connections and empower you to build a life worth living.
