Hi, my name is Rae and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I work under the belief that big emotions and big reactions are not a sign that something is “wrong” with you, but rather are healthy signals seeking respect and attention to guide you toward your true self. However, many of us have heard or come to believe that we're "too much" throughout our lives—too emotional, too challenging, too overwhelming, or too far gone to deserve the things, relationships, and lives we long for. This messaging can lead to difficulties setting boundaries, fear of independence, or choosing isolation to avoid feelings of shame and disappointment when our needs go unmet.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Palm Desert, CA


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Coachella valley. Going into private practice was not an impulsive decision. It is something I have thought about carefully, and I am committed to making it work well for the people I work with. My background includes clinical work with adults and families

across a range of settings from psychiatric hospitals, to non profits and private practice. I am based in Palm Desert for in person sessions and serve clients throughout

California via telehealth.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, women navigating Postpartum and those facing life transitions. I also work with people dealing with chronic stress, relationship challenges, and the kind of emotional weight that builds up when life keeps asking more of you than you feel you have to give. I have a

particular connection to working with Latino and bicultural clients, single parents, and people who are navigating coparenting and the identity shifts that come with it. I also provide Immigration mental health evaluations for those seeking cancellation of removal, hardship waivers, U-Visas or VAWA evaluations to support their immigration case.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Berkeley, CA, and I’ve worked in mental health care since 2012. My background includes community-based work, trauma-informed care, and leadership in training and clinical development. I earned my MSW from NYU and specialize in treating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adults navigating changes - career shifts, identity questions, or simply trying to feel more at home in themselves. Clients often say they feel safe, understood, and more at ease after we talk. I believe therapy works best with a good sense of humor - even in hard sessions, there’s room for relief and laughter.
