More about Rachel

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I am a licensed therapist with 18 years of experience working with clients. My style is to help you feel more regulated and centered so that you can connect to yourself and others. I can help you think through difficult situations and be a sounding board to support you to live your Big Beautiful Life!

My commitment is to always trust what you tell me. We all need connection to be our best selves. This is a judgement free space for you to bring fears, sadness, and even ambivalence, to develop your wise-mind and cultivate a deep appreciation for what makes you uniquely you.

I consider myself an advocate for the neurodiverse. My background has focused on working with parents of vulnerable children who have experienced loss, trauma, or are coping with ADHD and Autism Spectrum. I also have expertise in navigating the parenting needs of those with a Pathologically Demanding Avoidant (PDA) child. I do not advocate for behavioral modification like ABA.

I have additional training and experience working with clients around death and dying and loved ones coping with grief and loss.

Reach out to connect. If you do not see a time on my schedule that meets your needs, let me know. I may be able to accommodate another time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
