More about Rachel

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I am a person-centered therapist who believes in the potential in each individual. I have worked with individuals from highly varied backgrounds and work to see the potential for growth in each person. I have experience teaching, training, and providing therapy for individuals of all ages. I help largely through helping people find their motivation, self-worth, and potential in order to solve issues ranging from past traumas to current dilemmas.

Through my career to this point I have been trained in Motivational Interviewing, Mediation, Thinking for Change, and Clinical Hypnosis. In session I also use techniques ranging from CBT, Adlerian psychology, and more. My experience has often involved individuals struggling with severe mental illness, substance use/alcohol use disorders, trauma, PTSD, and domestic violence. I have also done work with individuals working on parenting skills for typically developing children as well as those with developmental/intellectual delays.

I am married and we have two sons.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very nice woman. Listens very well, makes good suggestions and is very nice.

Reviewed August 2024

During the 2+ years that I have worked with Rachel I have found her to be honest, professional, humble, and a woman of integrity. Rachel has invested her energy in getting to know me and how I see my life, without burdening me or herself with preconceived notions due to my diagnosis or having unrealistic expectations of me or her own abilities. I'm learning how to take these qualities into my own work with other people. Rachel points out, acknowledges, and celebrates my victories with me. She also gently, insightfully and with wisdom points out my lack of understanding then clarifies/instructs me. Rachel also models mature relationships, how to apologize in a meaningful manner, walking the walk in showing me that I am respected and genuinely valued for who I am and who I am not - she doesn't just talk the talk. Rachel shares appropriately from and about her own life when it would be/is helpful to/for me. I do not give trust or respect easily. Rachel has shown me more than once during the past almost 2 1/2 years that I am safe and protected in offering these gifts of myself to her. Rachel takes good care of herself and it shows. Her effectiveness in guiding me in a short period of time to a place of peace and acceptance of all I am and was created to be is a lasting and profound legacy in my life. Thank you, Rachel.

Rachel has been extremely helpful in learning to navigate the recent loss of my mom and in dealing with difficult family members.

Reviewed May 2024

I have been working with Rachel for nearly two years now and I have made more progress in that time than in the previous 50+ years of traditional insurance therapy. We have not always been on the same page with each other but I have learned much through the process of working out the misunderstandings and mistakes on both sides. I am very possibly not always the easiest client to work with, but Rachel has persevered without ever causing me to feel like I am to be blamed for anything that is not truly my responsibility. She helps me to identify what that responsibility really is vs what I have been told throughout my life. Rachel is not perfect or my “angel” or best friend (words that others have used to describe a therapist here which make me cringe), but she IS effective in the long run which is so much more important and valuable to me.

I have been working with Rachel for almost 19 months and during this time I have heard from different people who don't know each other how much I have blossomed. I believe that the healthy, validating, and mutually respectful relationship Rachel has helped me to build with her has been a decisive factor in this transformation. I am doing the work through online therapy that I was unable to do with traditional "insurance therapy" because here with Rachel I have the assurance of at least one contact per most days. Part of the trauma in my life was that I felt "invisible." I didn't trust that someone who would only talk with/listen to me for one hour per week really had my best interest in mind. I could not figure out how to make traditional therapy effective for myself even after 50 years of it. I am blessed that COVID indirectly brought me to BH and especially to Rachel.

Rachel is a great therapist. She's kind, considerate, and truly a great listener. She clearly has a lot of experience, because she always manages to know what you're trying to say even if you're struggling to figure out how to say it. It's rare to find a therapist who knows how to gracefully manage the transition from treating an acute emotional trauma to a new phase of rebuilding. Rachel knew exactly when I needed healing and when I was ready for a challenge. This is such an important skill for a therapist to have when helping someone who is struggling with the effects of anxiety and depression.

I have been working with Rachel for 7 months. I came into therapy with her already being agonizingly distrustful of people in general and health/assistance providers in particular due to some grossly inappropriate and at least one criminal relationship. She has earned my trust and respect by her consistency, gentleness, keeping her promise of how often she would be in contact with me, apologizing in a way that was meaningful to me when she made a mistake, being open about her experience with and knowledge of (or lack thereof) some of the concerns in my life, responding in a timely/appropriate/understandable manner to me when I ask for clarification - I have learned that this asking is a critical thing to do in a healthy relationship which is what I believe I have with Rachel, her openness/willingness to learn new skills/new ways of doing things and to not put a client in a "box" according to their psychological diagnosis, her clearly stated receptivity to hearing about when she has made a mistake in judgment, etc. All of these qualities give her credibility in my way of thinking/relating to people and the world. I highly recommend her for anyone who struggles with trust, shame, hopelessness, abandonment, neglect, abuse, feeling connected/visible to and heard by other people. In a lifetime of being in therapy (MANY years) I have only met one other provider who approaches the impact Rachel has had on my life... I am PROFOUNDLY grateful and blessed to have found Rachel.
