You don't have to keep carrying the weight of what happened to you. Healing is possible.

Hi, I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.

Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted. They've spent years trying to push through painful memories, quiet their anxiety, or make sense of experiences that continue to affect their relationships, confidence, sleep, or ability to feel like themselves. Some have tried therapy before but still feel stuck. Others have never talked about what happened because it simply felt too overwhelming.

Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone.

As a therapist trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART®), I offer an evidence-based approach that can help reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories—often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. One of the things many clients appreciate most about ART® is that you don't have to describe every painful detail of your trauma to experience meaningful healing. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel less overwhelmed by the past so you can be more present in your life today.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where healing can happen at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Imagine waking up without constantly feeling on edge. Imagine memories no longer having the same emotional grip on you. Imagine feeling more like yourself again. That kind of change is possible, and it would be an honor to help you get there.

If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to walk alongside you.

My approach to therapy is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide the guidance, tools, and support needed to help you achieve the healing and growth you're looking for.

Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and create goals that feel meaningful to you. While learning healthy coping skills is an important part of therapy, I also believe lasting healing happens when we address the root causes—not just the symptoms. That's why my work goes beyond traditional talk therapy by incorporating evidence-based, mind-body approaches that help your nervous system process and heal from traumatic experiences.

As a clinician trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART®), I use an approach that can help reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories without requiring you to repeatedly relive or retell every painful detail. I also integrate Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and principles from Polyvagal Theory to help you better understand your nervous system, develop practical coping strategies, and build resilience.

My approach is especially helpful for individuals who have been in therapy before but still feel like they're carrying the weight of their past. If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I understand why I feel this way, but I still don't feel better," you're not alone. Healing often requires more than insight—it requires helping both the mind and body process experiences in a way that allows you to move forward.

My goal is to help you feel safer in your body, more confident in yourself, and freer from the emotional burden of the past so you can begin living the life you deserve.

Your first therapy session is about getting to know you—not just what you're struggling with, but your story, your strengths, and what matters most to you.

My priority is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, respected, and valued from the very beginning. I want to understand what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to change, and what healing looks like from your perspective.

During our first session, I may ask some intake questions to better understand your background and experiences, but therapy should never feel like an interrogation or a checklist. I believe the foundation of meaningful healing is a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and collaboration. Our first session is about beginning that relationship and helping you feel comfortable moving forward.

If you've experienced trauma, please know that you do not have to share every detail of what happened in order to begin healing. You never have to talk about something before you're ready. We will move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you, honoring your individual journey and respecting that trust takes time to build.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure if things can truly get better. If you've spent years trying to understand your experiences but still feel weighed down by them, you're not alone. Healing is possible, and therapy can be a place where you begin to feel more connected to yourself, more in control of your life, and less defined by your past.

My hope is that you leave your first session feeling seen, supported, and hopeful that change is possible. You don't have to navigate this journey alone—I would be honored to walk alongside you.
