About Rachel
I didn’t always think therapy worked. By the time I was a teenager, I’d seen enough therapists to feel like they were kind but not helpful — no one really showed me what to do with what I was feeling. That experience shaped the kind of therapist I became. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as you are and start making real changes. My approach blends warmth and honesty — I’ll listen, but I’ll also help you notice patterns and take action. I focus on awareness, accountability, and action so you can build tools that help you feel grounded and capable in everyday life.
As a licensed therapist in Chicago, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD, as well as relationship challenges and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to help you find confidence, stability, and self-awareness — both in sessions and in daily life.
