A Message from Rachel
Hello! As a clinician, my goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, judgment-free space for individuals to feel supported and have their voices heard. I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailor sessions to meet clients' personal goals, needs, and interests.
I specialize in helping neurodivergent children and teens struggling to manage their emotions learn to navigate everyday life challenges and more difficult transitions, such as parental divorce or loss of a loved one. I am also passionate about helping individuals with severe mental illness. I enjoy building relationships and helping clients recognize their unique strengths to effect positive change in their lives, including helping them learn tools for self-advocacy and improving their self-esteem.
