Professional statement

Rachel’s counseling style is grounded in empathy, active listening, and a thoughtful touch of humor, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. She believes that therapy is a collaborative process and works closely with her clients to ensure their individual needs are met. Using a strengths-based approach, Rachel empowers clients to recognize their own resilience and capabilities, guiding them toward growth and healing. By focusing on each person’s unique strengths, she helps clients build the tools needed to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.

Message to clients

In our work together, I focus on creating a warm, supportive, and safe environment where you can feel truly comfortable. My aim is to foster a space where you can openly share your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. I want scheduling an appointment to feel like a relief, knowing you’re entering a space dedicated to your well-being. Each session should feel like a positive step toward healing and growth, where you’re met with empathy, understanding, and care—not stress or pressure.
