"Life is opportunistic and will always seek to thrive."

Even in the midst of pain, confusion, or disconnection, something within you is reaching for clarity, connection, and growth. With over two decades of clinical experience, I help individuals and couples harness that natural drive toward healing and transformation.
​
Therapy is not just a place to process the past—it’s a space to gain insight, build emotional resilience, and reclaim your voice. I bring an active, attuned presence to every session, combining evidence-based methods with deep curiosity about who you are and where you want to go. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, or simply feeling stuck, our work together will be focused, collaborative, and grounded in your goals.
​
As a seasoned clinician, I offer more than just support—I offer direction, clarity, and a proven path toward lasting change. I hold space for your complexity while helping you access insight, resilience, and forward movement. If you're ready to do the work, I'm here to help you do it with purpose. Life is built to thrive—and so are you.

Take Your First Steps Towards Finding Emotional Health
Our work together is rooted in both connection and clinical precision.
Whether you visit my office or connect with me online, you will find an emotionally safe and judgment-free environment. Here, you’ll be met with compassion, respect, and steady therapeutic presence—anchored in both empathy and expertise.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to the individual. I draw from Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy—modalities that support insight, emotional regulation, and personal agency. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a structured, evidence-based method that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. These approaches allow me to address both present-day concerns and deeper-rooted patterns, offering a comprehensive and flexible framework for healing and growth.
Together, we’ll build a structured framework to help you reach your emotional goals—through increased self-understanding, meaningful growth, and the development of healthy, enduring relationships.
​
Let’s work together to create a path that feels both authentic and sustainable.

Testimonials
We came to Rachel in need of better tools for communication in our relationship. Her balanced and objective approach along with her humor and candor have created a space where both of us feel heard, represented, and supported. Rachel is intuitive and caring. And she had many suggestions on how to approach different issues.
​
What we loved most about working with Rachel, was her ability to hold clear boundaries while also being a friend we could feel relaxed and vulnerable with. Our trust in her has made it possible for us to start trusting each other again.
KHALI + JOHN // Los Angeles, CA
Rachel has been a steadfast source of insight, support, and education for me. She is professional, intelligent, and deep. She thinks so hard about each of her clients and how to help them meet their challenges in life. One of the strongest parts of Rachel’s professional abilities is her word choice and way of explaining things. I always look forward to spending time with her and feel refreshed and invigorated after we meet. I guess the simplest way to say it, Rachel gets it. She gets people and she will most definitely get you.
