Hi, I’m Rachel, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges with cultural identity and adjustment. My practice is especially welcoming to immigrants, first-generation Americans, and individuals navigating bicultural identities. I strive to provide a supportive and understanding environment where clients feel truly seen and valued.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and flexible. I’ll meet you where you are and tailor our work to fit your unique needs. I often use tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you manage difficult emotions and strengthen coping skills. We might bring in mindfulness practices to help you feel more grounded in the present, or explore patterns from the past that may still be shaping your life today. I’m also continuing my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be especially helpful for working through trauma in a safe and supportive way.
In our work together, you can expect to walk away with practical tools you can use right away in your daily life, along with a deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges you’re facing. My hope is that you’ll not only feel some immediate relief, but also begin to notice lasting growth over time. I want you to feel grounded and supported in sessions, knowing that this is a safe space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. Together, we’ll focus on helping you build resilience, confidence, and a sense of hope as you move forward.
