About Rachel

I am a licensed psychologist with 37 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan through life transitions, emotional challenges, and relational stress. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and family issues. My work centers on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where the roots of distress can be explored, and healing becomes possible.

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from Antioch New England Graduate School. My approach integrates cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strategies to help clients gain insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Compassion, empathy, and clinical experience guide every step of our work together.

I will meet you where you are and help you navigate obstacles with clarity, support, and practical guidance. Together, we will identify new perspectives and pathways that move you forward. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to live a more fulfilling and balanced life.

"As a psychologist for nearly 30 years, I am personally and professionally compassionate about the struggles that lead to emotional challenges and work with people to overcome barriers to feeling good about themselves, relationships, and cope with losses."

Get to know Rachel

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

From the time I was a teenager I decided to work in the field of Psychology. Helping people and facilitating change has been a guiding force in my life. I honor the opportunity to provide a trusting, compassionate experience for individuals to heal, learn, and grow.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Psychology works! You can overcome what is challenging you.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

Listening is key and gathering information on the past as well as developing goals.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

My own losses and challenges have helped me become more empathic and aware of challenges in the process of change.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

Through a mutual understanding of goals and exploration of helpful techniques.
