About Rachel
Rachel trained at the University of Pennsylvania and brings about seven years of counseling experience. She blends a direct East Coast manner with a more relaxed California approach. That mix shows up in sessions as honest feedback paired with creativity and warmth.
Her work often focuses on everyday struggles like relationship strain, low self-esteem, sleep disruption, parenting stress, career concerns, and coping after loss. She also supports people facing trauma, mood concerns including bipolar and depression, ADHD, and challenges connected to adoption and attachment.
Rachel draws from several practical methods. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to manage strong emotions and build coping tools.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and adjusted based on client feedback. Rachel encourages people to bring questions and to speak up about what feels helpful. To get started, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
