Our anxiety therapy program helps clients identify triggers and develop coping strategies.

Clients learn to recognize thought patterns that contribute to anxiety while developing practical tools for emotional regulation.
Depression Counseling
This specialized counseling addresses persistent sadness and emotional regulation challenges. We help clients establish healthy routines, improve self-esteem, and rebuild relationships through evidence-based interventions. Our approach combines behavioral activation with interpersonal therapy to address both symptoms and underlying causes of depression.

Our trauma-informed therapy creates safe spaces for processing traumatic experiences. Using EMDR and somatic approaches, we help clients reprocess memories and develop grounding techniques. The program focuses on restoring personal agency while addressing the physical and emotional impacts of trauma in daily life.

We provide evidence-based interventions for prenatal and postpartum mood disorders, helping parents navigate emotional transitions while developing coping strategies.

Wow. I met Rachel a few months ago at a professional event, figuring I'd never need a therapist. The more I got to know her, the more I just knew there were people out there that needed her. She is so wise, and centered, and peaceful to speak with... Fast forward a few months and my dear sister is going through a terrible time in her life, marriage, children, health, etc. I have always been the 'go to' for my sister and always prided myself on being a solid guide for her. However, her situation is so tough that I was fearful I didn't have the horsepower needed and fearful I might give her wrong

As a new mom, participating in Rachel's postpartum support group has been a breath of fresh air for me as I navigate this new chapter in my life. Rachel's calm and non-judgmental presence puts me at ease and makes it easy for me to share my challenges, as well as my wins in a group setting. I enthusiastically recommend Rachel as your next therapist.
