Rachel is committed to growth, connection, and healing throughout personal, relational, and systemic levels. She is a licensed mental health counselor, dancer, musician, and lover of nature and animals. She finds her roots in Cuba, Syria, and Italy but grew up in North Carolina and moved to the northeast as a teenager. She became inspired to become a therapist after experiencing the power of therapy as a client. As an adolescent, she was deeply grateful to have a comfortable space to share her inner world, process her thoughts and emotions, and feel seen & supported. She felt driven to offer that same presence to others.

Throughout her life, Rachel has been moved by art, music, dance, yoga philosophy, and nature. She has witnessed how these modalities allow humans to expand their expression beyond words and their impact on her life has been transformative. This connection has guided her towards integrating these elements into her clinical practice.

Rachel is devoted to learning and an avid reader. She considers herself an eternal student, always growing through each experience and interaction. She understands that therapy is another space where both she and her clients can learn and grow. Rachel considers the opportunity to walk alongside her clients on their journey an honor.
