Rachel (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with adolescent and adult clients in community mental health and partial hospitalization settings. She works with clients ages 16+ with depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties with executive functioning, exploring gender and sexual identity, women’s issues, life transitions, infidelity, and relationship difficulties. Rachel is particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent clients, especially autistic adults.
The approach she offers is trauma-informed and incorporates interventions and coping skills rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Using these frameworks, she works collaboratively with clients to explore and develop a healthier relationship with themselves, cope with life’s difficulties, and move towards living in alignment with their values. 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 challenging habits that are no longer working and building self-compassion.
Rachel aims to create a safe and affirming space where neurodivergent individuals are understood and respected for both their challenges and the distinct qualities and strengths they bring to the world. Through collaborative work, she helps individuals build a deeper connection with themselves, develop personalized strategies and tools that meet their unique needs, and foster confidence in self-advocacy.
