Rachel has been great. She just get's it. She understands my concerns and helps me to come up with easy to follow, small step solutions to guide me through my issues that are in line with my beliefs and how I want to live my life. I'm grateful for her and hope to continue working with her.

If you're struggling to cope after a traumatic event, loss, or major life change, I welcome working with you towards healing. It can be so hard to reach out and yet so worth it. Therapy can help you feel not alone (and you're not!), validate your pain, and alleviate the things you might be experiencing like guilt, shame, anxiety, and depression.

I am a therapist who specializes in helping people heal after bad things happen. I have spent years working with adults in the Boston area who have experienced sexual assault, rape, abuse, or are struggling with difficult life events like a loss or major transition. If you resonate with feeling alone, broken, anxious, or sad I might be the therapist for you. I am here to help support you in your daily life and in your journey towards healing. Please note, I am a trans and queer affirmative therapist.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
