Rachel (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with experience supporting adolescent and adult clients in various mental health settings. She works with individuals ages 18+ navigating a range of concerns including complex trauma, OCD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and exploration of gender and sexual identity. Rachel also has experience and enjoys working with Autistic and ADHD individuals. She is deeply committed to providing a neurodivergent-affirming space where clients feel seen and supported.

Rachel’s approach is trauma-informed and grounded in the belief that healing happens within safe, supportive relationships. She has completed specialized trainings in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work, Inference-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (I-CBT) for OCD, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Parts Work.  She uses these approaches to help clients build practical coping skills, navigate emotional challenges, and reconnect with what matters most to them. When appropriate, she provides EMDR to support the processing of distressing experiences, reduce emotional overwhelm, and foster a greater sense of inner safety and self-compassion.

Rachel aims to create a safe and affirming space where all individuals are understood and respected for both their challenges and the distinct qualities and strengths they bring to the world. She believes that people are not meant to heal alone and that progress is not linear. Because of this, she values the work of building a trusting relationship with each and every client to create space for exploring all parts of their experience.
