Hello and welcome!

I offer in-person and online sessions (telehealth) on weekdays, evenings, and Saturdays.
Private fee: $180.

Insurance: Blue Cross Blue Shield.

I am Rachael and my work is mostly about helping individuals feel good about themselves, whatever journey they are going through. Finding the right therapist is a personal process, and it is important to find someone you connect with. Curious if we would be a good fit? Not a problem. Here are some questions to help you decide.

Have you recently experienced a significant life change or transition?

Are you getting in your own way, trying hard and getting nowhere? Are you ready to make some effective changes and level up your life? Living is a sequence of unexpected events. We can handle many of these new situations but some of them hit us hard and we realize that our previous skills and habits are not working. We feel stuck in our ways and we need new skills and strategies. As a therapist and health coach, I can help you brainstorm and find new ways to achieve your goals.

Are you struggling to manage stress effectively? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed?

Does life feel overwhelming right now? Has the pandemic brought concerns to you at work or at home? Or are you feeling sad, depressed or unmotivated, lacking motivation and energy? Would you like to learn new strategies to deal with these common life challenges? My expertise includes anxiety and depression, and I can share with you effective strategies to deal with these challenges.

Are you grieving the loss of a loved one?

Are you grieving the loss of a beloved friend, a romantic partner, a pet, a job, or a life dream? Have you been feeling stuck in that pain? Do you want support to understanding the grieving process and learn ways to come to a closure with it? There are several ways to grieve a loss, and there is no certain path to get over it. Talking to a therapist can help you mourn your loss at your own pace.

Do you need a boost to your self-esteem?

Do you feel that life has been rough lately and impacted your self-esteem? Have you lost a job, been through a divorce or heartbreak? Have your kids left home for college or work, and now the empty nest phase has been hard on you? Do past experiences have led you to believe that you are never good enough for others and yourself? If so, you are not alone. Life is challenging and teaches us new lessons through hardships. I can help you see your strengths and lessons learned from life and see how special you are as a person.

Are you looking for EMDR Therapy?

I integrate EMDR principles and exercises into my therapeutic approach for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and stress. The results have been very positive and I would love to help you to know more about this type of therapy.

Are you looking for a health coach?

A Health Coach is a trained professional who works with clients individually or in groups. The Health Coach helps individuals to gain the knowledge, skills, tools, and confidence to take responsibility for their diet and lifestyle, enabling them to reach their health goals. Health coaches use techniques such as motivational interviewing, behavior change, non-judgmental coaching, active listening, and accountability to better understand and support the client’s individual needs.

If you answered YES to any of the questions above, I can help you.

I am a therapist and a health coach. My work is about helping individual clients reach their goals. You decide on your goals and make your decisions while I will listen to you with compassion and no-judgement and share new tools and strategies. My clinical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, and Health Coaching.

We are a comprehensive, sex-positive team of professionals who are here to support you!
