My approach to treating OCD is flexible, accepting, and holistic. My primary goal is for my members to have a full and valuable life, with as little interference from OCD as possible. It's important to have broader goals for therapy, in addition to reducing OCD symptoms. I want to know how your life would be better if your OCD were under control. What would it free you up to do or be? Change really is possible! I also specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, addiction, and depression.

Why our members love working with Rachel
A.R.
Thank you for all you do Rachel! I just want to note that I am proud of the progress I have made and it’s all possible due to your guidance and support!
J.M.
Rachel uses humor and ERP in a way that makes tough moments feel manageable. She creates safety, keeps things human, and helps you make real progress without it ever feeling overwhelming.
J.M.
Rachel has been incredibly dedicated and supportive throughout my work with NOCD. She shows up consistently, pays close attention, and genuinely cares about helping you move forward, not just get through the session. She has a calm, steady way of guiding the process that makes even very difficult moments feel manageable. She’s thoughtful, patient, and deeply knowledgeable, but what really stands out is how present she is. She also knows exactly when to use humor to take the edge off without minimizing what you are dealing with, which makes a huge difference on the hard days. Her approach has helped me understand my patterns more clearly and given me practical tools I actually use in real life. I’ve felt supported while also being appropriately challenged, and sometimes gently laughed out of my own mental loops, which has been genuinely helpful. I’m very grateful to be working with Rachel and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is both compassionate, effective, and human.
A.R.
Rachel is amazing and challenges me a lot but that is how I grow. She is kind and compassionate and is very personable! Thank you, Rachel for all you do!
A.R.
All I can say is Rachel is a godsend, she challenges me in so many ways and I can't wait for her to come back!
N.S.
Rachel is a great match, she has been extremely helpful without the reassurance part. Thankful to finally be working on my OCD
J.H.
Rachel is absolutely wonderful. You can tell she genuinely cares for her clients and wants to see them get better. She's not afraid to call you out on your b.s. and she has a fantastic sense of humor. Since starting sessions with her, I actually feel like I'm making progress in therapy and my mental health journey for the first time in YEARS.
L.K.
Rachel has been so helpful these past few months. I have loved talking to her and she really has changed the quality of my life. I can take on life so much better after the tools she has taught me. I have never felt more comfortable talking with anyone else. Rachel is really great at what she does.
E.T.
I think Rachel helps me not only with response prevention but also with realizing some of my cognitive distortions
