She has partnered with students who experienced depression, anxiety, "imposter syndrome", social anxiety, stress, grief, self-esteem issues, and academic and employment challenges.

Rachel enjoys working with individuals and their families through different life challenges. She passionately works with members of the following populations: single parents, young children, teenagers, young adults, college students (international students, adult re-entry students), and military families. 

​

Rachel is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, sand tray and sand play therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, and Play Therapy with young children. She leans toward person-centered and integrated therapy, such as Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Therapy, Art and Music therapy, and Mindfulness Practice.
