Hi, I’m Rachel. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life’s unexpected transitions. Many of the people I work with are adjusting to difficult life changes, searching for a renewed sense of purpose, or feeling anxious about speaking up, being around others, or even leaving the house. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll build practical tools, celebrate progress along the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and like your own again.
