Hi, I’m Rachel. I know how exhausting it is when worry takes over, whether it’s happening to you or to someone you love.
Maybe you’re a college student whose mind won’t stop replaying the same scary thoughts. Maybe you’ve handled anxiety on your own for years and you’re just tired. Maybe you’re a parent who has tried everything, and your child’s fears still run the house. Those feelings make sense, and things can get better.
What keeps me going is seeing an adult who was afraid of new foods finally enjoy dinner out with friends, or a parent realize they can help their child without a fight every night.
Adults, college students, and parents who want a therapist who is warm, organized, and a little nerdy. I also have extra training helping people with an intense fear of throwing up, and I love working with people balancing anxiety with a chronic illness.

For OCD and anxiety, I use a proven approach called ERP. In plain terms, we slowly and gently practice facing the things you’ve been avoiding, so fear loses its grip over time. You’re always part of deciding what we practice and when.
For parents, I offer SPACE, a program designed to help anxious kids through their parents. You come to the sessions and learn what to say and do when anxiety shows up at home, like at bedtime, before school, or around food. Your child is still the focus of the work, they just don’t have to be in the room for it.
We’ll start by understanding what’s going on, then build skills, then grow your confidence, checking in along the way so you always know how things are going.

Ongoing learning
Every year I keep training in OCD, ARFID and feeding concerns, emetophobia, developmental trauma, and parent coaching.
Outside of sessions, I’m probably building a Lego starship, reading one of my many Star Wars books, or hunting down the best churro at Disney. I’m a lifelong fan of all things nerdy, and I unwind with cozy games on my Switch (hi, Animal Crossing!). I also volunteer with a national Type 1 diabetes organization, advocating for affordable insulin and supporting families like mine.
Clients say I help them feel safe, seen, and at ease. I take time to earn trust, whether you’re coming in for yourself or your child, and there’s always room for humor along the way.
