Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience counseling many wonderful men and women who were going through difficult times. Whether they needed help because of relationship issues, abuse, parenting problems, depression, anxiety, or any number of other mental or emotional disorders I was happy to help them. Some simply wanted someone to listen to their ideas and help them set goals and plan for the future. I will be happy to help you, too, in any of these. Counselees have found me to be a gentle therapist who helps them find stability and peace. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, and Client- Centered therapies. I find that spirituality is often a big asset in healing and I offer spiritual counseling if it is requested. I also offer help to those who have been wounded by religion. For those who would prefer to avoid spiritual discussions I will do so. You will find that your wishes and preferences are important to me and will be respected. I will not impose any therapies or goals on you. We will decide on them together.

I took a while to find a therapist that was right for me, but when I found Rachel I was very hopeful. Her description fit her well and she truly is as compassionate and trustworthy as she sounds in her “about me” section. Thank you, Rachel!
