A little about Rachel
Rachels Approach
The Philosophy: "Life is the Meditation"
Rachel operates from the core belief that "Life is the Meditation." She is dedicated to compassionately nurturing the therapeutic relationship through creative exploration and a multifaceted approach. By encouraging clients to tap into their innate resources, she supports them in navigating life’s challenges—meeting them exactly where they are on their wellness journey.
Rachel’s work is centered on empowerment. She guides her clients to discover and cultivate deep personal insights and strengths, enhancing their conscious well-being. This focus on growth and resilience is especially vital during difficult transitions and in the profound work of healing from trauma.
Rachel, Psy.D (ABD), LPCC, RScP, is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate and a Registered Psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience. Her unique clinical approach integrates mental health, spiritual guidance, and the arts.
