Find a therapist in Connecticut — covered by insurance

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I currently work in a school setting, which has given me a strong understanding of how stress, emotions and behavior show up in everyday life-not just in therapy but at home, school and work.

I connect easily with people who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like they've always had to "hold it together" for everyone else. My goal is to create a safe space where you can feel comfortable being yourself without judgement. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you better understand your patterns while building practical tools to feel more in control of your life.

I help women move through fear, self-doubt, and old patterns so they can step into clarity, confidence, and fulfillment — both personally and professionally. Many of my clients are navigating transitions like ending relationships, redefining careers, or growing businesses while trying to protect their mental health. Together, we focus on strengthening self-trust, setting boundaries, and creating a mindset that supports lasting change. As a therapist and mindset coach, I combine evidence-based tools with forward-focused coaching to help you move from awareness to action — and build the confidence to trust yourself again.

I’m a therapist with over ten years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and the everyday stressors and transitions that can feel overwhelming.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and integrate tools that best fit each person’s needs. Whether you’re dealing with persistent worry, low mood, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore, grow, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I graduated from Fordham University in 2009 and began applying my new skills in trauma- and addiction-focused positions across clinics and hospitals in NYC. I continued working in crisis response services upon moving to Rochester, NY and in 2020 I became interested in sex therapy and integrative sex and couples therapy. I studied to obtain my Certification in Sex Therapy from the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists. My work focuses on a number of sexual health and mental health issues, including desire discrepancies, physical concerns that limit one's ability to enjoy preferred sexual activities, erotic recovery after infidelity and/or trauma, establishment of monogamy agreements, kink-affirming care and assistance to co-create polyamorous relationship agreements.

Hi! I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I know reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. My goal is to make this process feel safe, supportive, and real. You don't have to have the "right words." You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up as you are.
