HI! I am Rachel and I am a licensed mental health counselor in South Florida. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I have had experience working with a broad range and severity of clinical issues. With that said the areas I specialize in are anxiety, depression, substance abuse, family conflict, relationship conflicts, and complex trauma/abuse. I also have done clinical work in women's issues, such as postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis, and eating disorders. I describe my therapeutic approach as individualistic. I do not believe there is a one size fits all approach to therapy. I work to get to know my clients as individuals and develop a plan for what will help them reach short term and long term goals. I am always coming from a empathetic, caring, and non-judging point of view. I want you to feel that you can trust me and feel vulnerable with me. Whether you are going through a rough time, looking to make big life changes, you just need someone to listen to you are not alone and I am here to help! I look forward to working with you.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem and career struggles, as well as those struggling to overcome addictions. I believe the most important part of working with an individual is to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with mutual respect as I work with my clients. I am always curious and seek first to know my client and understand why he or she is looking for help with a problem. I initially started my career working with employees in a corporate setting with a MS in Industrial psychology. I developed a passion for helping individuals make positive changes in their lives and went back to school to become a licensed MFT. As my client I will help you develop goals for change and then to implement a plan to make positive changes in your life. I use a variety of tools such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused therapy and Narrative therapy. I am a believer in the tenants of positive psychology as a means to help you make positive changes in your life. I greatly look forward to meeting and working with you as a client. Together we can do the work and make positive changes in your life.
