About Rachel

ADHD & Grief Specialist
Associate Professional Counselor & Clinical Rehabilitation Counselor

I specialize in assisting neurodivergent individuals and those navigating grief through various life transitions, including:

  • Academic/Occupational: We work together to figure out what you really want, how to tackle stumbling blocks, and advocate for your needs. As a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I'm dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities achieve independence and fulfillment.

  • Identity Shifts: Whether it's adjusting to a new diagnosis or embracing a new role, we'll explore who you are and align with your core values, empowering you to embrace your identity unapologetically.

  • Relocation & Community Building: Whether you're grieving or managing ADHD, forming meaningful connections can seem daunting. Through therapy, we'll learn to cultivate trust, vulnerability, and authentic connections within our communities.

The last few years have been tumultuous. You may have had a vision of what your life would look like - but after weathering so much change, it’s hard to know how to start, what the goal is, or where to find meaning.

“Managing” ADHD often means we’ve tried to change our way of thinking, being, and feeling, yet we’re still met with “you’re not trying hard enough”. Despite your efforts, you may have faced criticism (maybe even from yourself), leaving you feeling like you're constantly falling short. It's a struggle to change when you've never been taught to believe in yourself, leading to a cycle of feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood.

Through an Acceptance and Commitment approach, we acknowledge what's beyond our control and focus on living according to our values. With a shame-free environment, I support you in developing practical skills for effective communication, navigating transitions, and embracing both the highs and lows of life. Asking for help may feel daunting, but together we can untangle the confusion and pave a path towards clarity and growth. We can hold both sadness and joy in our lives, even in the aftermath of a loss or a change.
