I find great joy in helping people discover hope and confidence that they didn’t think was possible. I specialize in OCD because no two stories are the same—treatment is creative, flexible, and often brings relief sooner than expected. My approach blends compassion, respect, and humor to create a safe, non-judgmental space where meaningful change can happen. I also treat anxiety disorders and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), with a focus on how nutrition and stress management support mental health.

Why our members love working with Rachel
A.C.
Rachel is amazing. She somehow always knows the right things to say without “reassuring”. She takes a collaborative approach that really helps you feel in control. She meets you where you’re at and never pushes you to do something you’re not ready for. Our sessions flow naturally and I think this is because she really shows up and puts her all into sessions, though it seems to come natural. She is a great support.
