Hi! and welcome :) I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California with over 15 years of experience in the social services sector. I provide counseling support in addressing the socio-emotional needs of clients including: depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, academic challenges, family dynamics and peer relationships. I have 4 years of professional working experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, strengths-based and solution-focused. You are the expert of your own story and I trust that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Rachel is amazing. Her personal and professional experience makes it easier for her to understand my personal situation. I got lucky with her.
