Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Laguna Beach, CA

Hello! My clinical practice focuses on wellbeing & self-care for women. I typically work with clients struggling with stress, women's issues and/or anxiety- or clients who are wanting to get extra support with daily or work-related stress.

Hi! My name is Rachel. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I’m here to start with where you are at. We will work collaboratively to help you heal from past hurts and the negative scripts that are running your show. I offer a non judgmental space for you to come, slow down, breathe and just be. My approach includes EMDR, Somatic Therapy and a values- based approach that helps you handle tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dually licensed in California and Florida. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from George Mason University in 2018 and have worked in the mental health field since 2016.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and individuals from BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities across a variety of settings, including outpatient, school-based, intensive in-home, community-based, therapeutic day treatment, and residential programs.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe, supportive space to heal and grow. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build healthy coping skills, navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, and break patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you're facing anxiety, past trauma, relationship difficulties, or a major life transition, I'm here to help you move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I became licensed as a MFT ten years ago and began practicing 15 years ago. I earned my Master's Degree from the University of San Francisco (USF), where I dedicated my required 3,000 hours of experience to serving the diverse population that the Bay Area has to offer.

I have a broad range of experience and skills to support individual adults and adolescents of diverse backgrounds and identities seeking relief from depression and anxiety, among other common stressors in their lives.

I believe that true healing begins when you feel deeply seen and heard for who you truly are. My goal is to create a warm, engaging space where we can explore your story together, looking beyond just your symptoms to understand you as a whole person.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about supporting individuals as they work through challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, focusing on helping you recognize your existing strengths while developing practical tools to manage life's difficulties. Together, we will work to increase self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create a path forward that aligns with your values, goals, and overall well-being. My goal is to empower you to navigate challenges with greater confidence and build a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic.

Life can be challenging and at times unbearable, I want to help you find and develop life-enhancing qualities that you need in order to live the life you envision for yourself.

I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at the Univeristy of Pepperdine. With over ten years of varied experience, I have the ability to work with a wide range of people who come from different walks of life, and I would love to help you.
