About

Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm so happy you're here. I am licensed in both Florida and Virginia. I love working with clients seeking greater self-understanding, and supporting them along the journey of self-exploration. As a clinician, I am committed to fostering a safe and welcoming space where clients can feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment.

Education & Licensure
Bachelors in Psychology from Colorado State University; Masters of Psychology from University of La Verne; Doctorate of Psychology from University of La Verne
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with neurodivergent adults stems from my deep appreciation for diversity and acceptance. I believe that greater self-understanding is the first step toward self-acceptance. I am dedicated to supporting clients on their journey, helping them cultivate insight, navigate life’s challenges, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I operate from a person-centered, strengths-based approach to honor each client's unique personality and experiences. I believe clients are the expert on themselves, and I strive to actively listen and understand each client's perspective. By providing validation and support, my goal is to create a space where clients feel free to be their authentic selves.
