Hi, I’m Rachel!
she/her/hers
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community (panromantic asexual), I know first-hand how hard it is to find a therapist who’s not just an ally, but truly affirming.
My clients tend to struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, life transitions, identity exploration, and dissociation.
I specialize in and love providing mental health counseling to the LGBTQIA+ community, especially lesser-known identities such as asexual, aromantic, nonbinary, polyamorous, genderfluid, and others.
I’ve worked in various clinical settings including inpatient/hospitalization, PHP, IOP, and outpatient. I often give professional presentations focused on advocacy and education of LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy in the counseling field.
In my spare time, you might find me watching horror movies, cosplaying at anime conventions, writing creatively, playing with my cat, or spending time with my family.
