Hello. I would love to have the privilege of working with you on your counseling journey. I am a Licensed Social Worker and have provided counseling services to individuals, families, and groups for over 30 years. In that time, I have learned how important it is to create safe spaces where people feel unjudged so that they can begin the work of healing themselves and living their lives as the persons they want to be.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, identity, emotional regulation, coping with stress, and a variety of other issues. Being young can be a tough and confusing time. Being vulnerable about those struggles can be even harder.
I work with adolescents and adults facing a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, anger, grief, relational issues, and other life stressors. It is not always easy to face life’s challenges, but I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for reflection.
I’m Rachel, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor – Supervisor (LPCC-S) with a deep passion for supporting children, adolescents, adults, and couples as they navigate challenges such as mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can thrive.
We all have a story to tell. Sometimes it seems we get lost in the details and instead of being able to control how the story goes, we allow the story to detail our reality. After all, experience is a strong teacher, and it is a powerful enforcer when it comes to how individuals relate to everyday life. My goal as a counselor is to show clients how to take change into their own hands to tear down problematic scenarios and rebuild new stories that create a healthy home and atmosphere where they can reach their full potential of being a healthy, functional couple and/or family.
It takes a lot of courage to reach out to a therapist. But you are brave. And you are worth it. I am naturally a problem solver, but I take your lead. Through utilizing a person centered approach, I want to help you learn how to advocate for yourself, find your voice, and more effectively meet your needs. I’m here to help you shift deeply rooted thoughts and beliefs so they can serve you better. I recognize how powerful it can be to share the most vulnerable parts of who we are, and I believe that in-and-of-itself can be healing. Gaining language and understanding of your experience can be empowering, and it would be an honor to journey alongside you through this process.
I believe healing is deeply personal and rarely follows a one-size-fits-all path. The struggles we experience are often more complex than they appear on the surface, and symptoms like anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or feeling stuck are often part of a deeper story that deserves curiosity, compassion, and understanding rather than judgment.
