Hi there and Welcome to Strength and Light! I am Rachel. I'm a Licensed Social Worker with experience working with individuals and families that have experienced significant trauma. As a suicide loss survivor myself, I am passionate about helping loved ones find healing after a death by suicide. 

While I do treat individuals who have extreme trauma, I am also here for clients who experience anxiety, depression, life changes, family and relationship issues, and women's issues.

My approach is multi-systemic and blends a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; and Motivational Interviewing. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which has proven beneficial in treating trauma. 

I strive to make my clients feel heard and validated. We are all on a journey, so let's take the first step together.
