Rachel’s Approach
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and centered on your needs. Drawing from Collaborative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and the Gottman Method, I help you explore what matters most in your life, relationships, trauma history, and parenting journey. I never force a topic – you define what’s important.
As a super-researcher, you can count on me to help connect you with resources and communities. While your own healing is essential, so is having a support network around you when you need it most.
Fun Facts
Coming soon!
Parenthood doesn’t look the way you imagined.
Whether you’re recovering from birth trauma, welcoming a new child, or in the midst of disheartening infertility treatments, you and/or your partner are carrying more than you can name. Each day asks more from you, and you’re already exhausted, wondering how much longer you can keep carrying it all.
You want to feel present for this journey, but you feel pulled away by intrusive worries, haunted by nightmares, or weighed down by a sense of emptiness. Perhaps you’re craving the support of your far-away family, grieving the loss of a parent, or feeling the glaring gaps in your own childhood as you raise your little ones.
HEALING WHILE YOU BUILD YOUR VILLAGE
I’m here to help you create a space to unpack and release the weight you’ve been carrying, find practical resources and community to support your family, and begin to redefine what parenthood and partnership can look like for you.
Whether you’re healing from a difficult birth, adjusting to life without an important loved one, or working to strengthen your relationship as new parents, I’ll help you feel more grounded and connected, so you can show up how you most wish to be: as partners, as parents, as whole-hearted people.
Advocacy at the Heart, Voice for the Unspoken
Advocacy for those who have been marginalized, silenced, or taken advantage of is at the heart of how I show up. And it’s the energy I bring to every layer of supporting you and your family.
As a Jewish therapist, a daughter of a refugee, and a mother of a deeply feeling child, I know how personal and generational history shapes the way you experience parenthood, marriage, your own identity, and the world at large.
I believe one of the most powerful forces for healing comes from having space to name the invisible—the loss, the anger, the rage—especially when these experiences are connected to marginalization, oppression, or injustice.
