About Rachel
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. She helps people name patterns that cause pain and try small, practical changes to test what works. Rachel uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on narrative therapy to reframe difficult chapters in a person’s story.
For people who are healing from trauma, Rachel uses trauma-focused and somatic methods to ground the body and process hard memories at a pace that feels manageable. She often blends solution-focused techniques so sessions stay goal-oriented and actionable. This mix aims to reduce overwhelm and create clearer next steps.
Rachel also addresses concerns such as codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, narcissism-related patterns, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and social anxiety. She offers sessions in English and American Sign Language.
To begin, Rachel asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Her practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

Rachel uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, and relationship patterns where thoughts and actions keep problems going. Narrative therapy is another tool she draws on to help people rewrite the story they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can shift how they feel and act.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions remain practical and aligned with what the person wants to change.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist's practice uses a subscription-based scheduling and billing system, and fees vary by location and availability. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire and scheduling so you can find a rhythm that fits your routine.
