Hi there, I'm Rachel!

I help individuals, couples, and families heal through an integrative approach blending psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, somatic, and attachment-based therapies. I specialize in trauma recovery, self-esteem, and couples therapy, particularly for those navigating life transitions.

My focus

I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-worth, and significant life transitions. My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and grounded in practical tools that help reduce distress, deepen insight, and support lasting change.

My approach

I create a grounded, attuned space to explore emotional history, present challenges, and future goals. My approach draws from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and family systems frameworks while integrating CBT, Schema Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing to support cognitive, emotional, and somatic healing.
