Hi, I'm Rachel — and if your child is struggling, you're in exactly the right place.

I know how hard it is to watch your loved one deal with anxiety, sadness, or stress and not know how to help. That's where I come in. I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with young children — from preschool all the way through preteen — and helping them build the kind of skills that actually make a difference in their everyday lives.

My background is rooted in schools. I've been a school social worker in Norwell, Plymouth, and Sandwich, which means I understand the world your child is living in — the classroom pressures, the social dynamics, the moments that feel too big to handle alone. I bring that real-world context into every session.

I am caring person who uses a open and compassionate approach in helping you to better understand your own needs. I use a skill building style that will build your relationships with others and provide you with interpersonal effectiveness to use in all of your important connections.

I bring an authentic presence to the therapeutic partnership, and am prepared to meet you where you are at- it's your time, so I value human-centered work. My approach is often described as relaxed, nonjudgmental and meaningful, but dynamic enough to adapt to the specific needs of my clients.

As a licensed social worker with over 11 years of experience across diverse populations

and life challenges, I have developed a deep understanding of how person, environment,

and context all shape our wellbeing. I have supported individuals and families navigating

anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, and questions of identity. My approach

is strength-based at its core: I see you as the expert in your own life, and my role is to

help you build on what already works while navigating what feels stuck. I am now focused

on supporting adults in individual therapy, and I would love to connect with you.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and finding the right provider matters. I provide a warm, welcoming space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported. I worked in community health for several years as a bilingual nurse practitioner and place great value in providing culturally competent care.

I specialize working with young women, young professionals, and college/graduate students. I have helped many people transitioning into adulthood, navigate the stress of college/grad school, navigating a new job, work stress, dating, interpersonal issues, family conflicts, (Life in general!). To me, success looks like creating realistic goals that are achievable.
