She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Rachel uses clear, evidence-based methods and helps people learn skills they can use between sessions.

Sessions include skill practice, reflection on patterns, and planning for manageable next steps.
Rachel gives particular attention to issues around adoption, attachment, and caregiver burden. She also supports people facing end-of-life or hospice concerns, chronic health challenges, and grief related to separation or divorce. The work often combines practical coping tools with the chance to process painful experiences.
Clients can expect a straightforward, respectful conversation focused on the problems they bring. Rachel helps clients set realistic goals and checks in on progress as therapy continues.

BHow sessions work
How Rachel uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework. It tends to help with mood symptoms, obsessive thinking, and behavior changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in on what is and isn't working and adjusts the plan based on clients' feedback and progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a day of work or caregiving. Many people find that doing skill practice between sessions helps progress, and online appointments can support that continuity. Ask about format options when you complete the matching questionnaire so your first appointment matches your daily routine.
