Rachel believes that accessing a rich and meaningful life is possible no matter your story or circumstances. She offers fresh perspectives coupled with the latest therapeutic techniques and aims to equip her clients with the tools needed to navigate what they previously believed they could not.
She earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Nova Southeastern University and has experience providing individual, family, and group therapy to adolescents and adults. She enjoys working with clients experiencing OCD and anxiety related disorders, disordered eating, grief and loss, depression, chronic pain, behavioral addictions, infertility and reproductive concerns, life transitions and uncertainty, and more.
Rachel’s approach is rooted in evidenced-based and trauma-informed modalities, and she enjoys blending Eastern and Western philosophies within her practice. She also understands that many difficulties require a “bottom-up” approach. Her desire is to significantly improve her client’s relationship with the present moment without discounting the role that past experiences often play. Her treatment approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Mindfulness-Based interventions, elements of DBT and IFS, and involves conceptualizing the whole person through the lenses of Attachment and Family-Systems theories.
When she isn’t with clients, Rachel enjoys yoga, meditation, reading, spending time in the sun, cooking for loved ones, exploring new places, and hanging out with her two cats.
