About Rachel
Rachel focuses on issues like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and problems with sleep. She also helps people facing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and relationship or communication problems. She often supports young adults and people dealing with life changes or family of origin concerns.
In sessions she uses everyday language and works collaboratively. Clients can expect a respectful, non-judgmental space where the therapist listens first and then helps set goals. Rachel draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to tailor steps that fit each person’s life.
She has experience teaching and supervising in social work, which she brings into clinical work as clear guidance and practical tools. That background informs how she helps people create plans for safety, cope with crises, and address housing or financial stressors when relevant.
Rachel aims to empower people to build lasting stability and improved day-to-day coping. If someone is ready to tackle long-standing trauma, manage strong emotions like anger, or make concrete changes, she offers steady support and practical next steps.

How Rachel’s Approaches Translate Online
Rachel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be helpful when emotions like anger or anxiety get in the way of daily life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT often involves simple, practical exercises and short experiments you can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Rachel will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as needs change. That process includes setting concrete goals and checking progress together.
For online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also support people who prefer working from a familiar setting or who need flexible timing to manage work, childcare, or school commitments.
