Hi, I’m Rachel. I’m a licensed social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Western Michigan University. Over the years, I’ve worked in various community-based social service settings, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. I live locally with my family and enjoy beachside walks in the summer and crafting in my free time.

In my work as a therapist, I’m passionate about supporting students as they navigate life’s challenges. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where students can reflect, grow, and develop tools to manage stress, build resilience, and move forward with confidence. My approach is collaborative and empowering, focused on helping students discover their inner strengths and build coping skills they can carry with them beyond college.

I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities into my work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, strengths-based approaches, and person-centered therapy. I also have experience supporting the LGBTQ+ community and working with adults with learning disabilities, neurodivergent and autism spectrum disorder adults, and different cultural and racial populations.

I see therapy as a journey toward self-awareness, healing, and growth. It’s a space to better understand your past, connect with your present, and begin shaping your future story.
