About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with over 25 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I am a LGBTQ+ affirmative. I have worked with clients with a wide range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, loss of a loved one, trauma, and physical and sexual abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. My clients are the experts' of their life experiences, so I work hard to listen to their needs and meet them just where they are. Together we work to overcome their challenges. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling.

It takes courage to ask for help so I applaud you for taking this first step. Please know that I am here to support and empower you and move you towards a more fulfilling and happier life.

I look forward to hearing from you and working with you!

My therapy sessions with Rachel have been great. She is very helpful by listening to me and giving me goals to work on. She understands what I need from therapy and is non-judgmental.

Rachel was, from the get-go, super genuine and warm. Rachel made me feel seen- I never felt like therapy was work with her. Every session, she met me at my own pace and I was able to make attainable goals. I would recommend Rachel to anyone struggling to find a down-to-earth therapist. Rachel is an all-around cool person.

Joined in 2018 and Rachel has been with me ever since. She is professional, kind, compassionate, and has given me so many tools to help me succeed in conquering my anxiety. I can’t say enough amazing things about her.
