“During some very trying times of our marriage, Rachel has worked with us not only to get back in sync with one another but also to really hear and appreciate one another. Her knowledge, expertise, and thoughtfulness in her practice have paved the way for us to work together as a married couple rather than against one another and our relationship has never been stronger.”

“As a young married African-American couple of 10 years we have tried multiple therapists and didn’t make a connection until we met Rachel. We have worked with her for couples’ therapy for several years now. Rachel is phenomenal, she has been able to help us through a range of tough times from depression and how to support a spouse to children transitioning into teenagers and recognizing how to adapt as a couple. Rachel also encourages and guides us to find/remember the positives in our relationship and celebrate those moments too as those are equally important. We’ve realized that therapy is not only for when our relationship is in a hard place but also for when we are in a good place to maintain the growth. We have been comfortable with having discussions with Rachel about racial issues not only how we are impacted personally but professionally too. Rachel shows empathy in working to understand the complexities of our lives within our family, community and broader connection with the world. She gets it and she gets us. Rachel has seen it all and no matter what you are going through, you are going to feel that she has your best interests in mind and will help you through. Rachel is patient, direct, humorous and really takes the time to get to know you and your partner.”

"We are incredibly grateful for the time we’ve spent working with Rachel. She’s helped us to become better communicators in our marriage and has guided us with compassion, patience, and humor as we re-learn how to discuss, and even think about, sex and intimacy. Rachel skillfully identifies recurring themes in our relationship that we wouldn’t have otherwise noticed and calls upon details of our past and present as though she’s known us forever. "

“Rachel has a very warm, non judgmental approach, and always made us feel comfortable and safe opening up in our sessions. Right from the start, we felt welcomed as a same-sex couple and relieved to find such a good fit in a clinician. Rachel is a great listener, attentive to client needs, and very down to earth. Her sense of humor is also well timed and appreciated in such a vulnerable process. As a couple, our communication definitely improved, and she really helped us shift our perspectives and soften our own self-judgments and criticisms. Rachel was a pleasure to work with and we are very grateful for all the ways in which she helped us.”

“Over our five years together, Rachel has helped me navigate so many of life’s twists and turns – the endings and beginnings of friendships, career changes, break-ups, new romances, ever-evolving family dynamics, and more. In one particular instance, Rachel suggested inviting my mother to join us for a session. With her background in family work, Rachel served as the moderator and neutral party, allowing my mother and I to share our past experiences and shift our future perspectives on our evolving mother-daughter relationship. Rachel brings with her the experience and expertise of a knowledgable professional balanced with the active listening and empathy you feel with a genuine friend. This has allowed our sessions to be fruitful ground for discussion, where Rachel seeks first to understand and then to partner with me in a way that allows me to move forward with a new perspective on how I think about and engage with myself and those around me.”
