As a licensed therapist in New York State, I bring many years of compassionate counseling experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in Christian values and a commitment to helping clients discover inner strength, purpose, and healing.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and self-esteem challenges. My practice focuses on supporting individuals through significant life transitions, relationship difficulties, and personal growth journeys.
With a heart for empowering clients, I create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their struggles, develop coping strategies, and rediscover their sense of self-worth. Whether you're navigating young adult challenges, midlife transitions, or working through trauma, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with understanding and care.
My therapeutic approach is holistic, compassionate, and tailored to meet your unique needs. I'm committed to helping you build resilience, find meaning, and move towards a more fulfilling life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Rachel is absolutely wonderful. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone. Thank you for everything.
I am incredibly grateful to have Rachel as my therapist. From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and understood. Her compassionate approach creates a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions. What stands out the most about Rachel is her ability to listen deeply and provide insights that are both thoughtful and practical. She always tailors our sessions to my needs and offers valuable tools that I can apply in my everyday life. Thanks to her support, I've made significant progress and feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges. Rachel truly goes above and beyond in helping me on my journey, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Great
Rachel has been amazing! She truly takes the time to understand what I’m going through and offers various methods of help not only direct from her but through classes, worksheets, and group sessions. I feel at ease speaking with her and feel like I’ve gotten so much out of just the 3 sessions we’ve had which makes me feel confident in how much my life can improve moving forward with her.
Rachel is empathetic, she listens and advises accordingly. Not only can she speak from a clinical point of view, I especially am grateful and blessed that she can relate to me from a spiritual view.
