Meet Rachel

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (C018226) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist-Associate (LCAS-28794) in North Carolina who has been practicing therapy since 2022. Prior to beginning my journey as a therapist, I worked in child welfare, advocating for foster youth and families. I am dedicated to working with people who are seeking to bloom in their unique and authentic individuality while remaining rooted in a supportive community. I am still on this journey myself, and I would be honored to walk along side you on yours.

I have worked with a variety of presenting concerns in my career including behavioral concerns and conduct disorder, emerging bipolar disorder in teens, psychotic symptoms (hallucinations and delusions), neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ identity exploration and advocacy, and complex trauma. I am particularly passionate about working with mood disorders, anxiety symptoms, and trauma. My focus is with teens, young adults, and their families; however, I have worked with children as young as 7 and adults into their late-fifties.

I have lived experience with mental health struggles, and I have found community and nature to be extremely supportive in my continued wellness. Whether that be going on hikes, finding a moment of stillness in a local park, or spending time with my partner, my friends, or my 3 dogs. I am known to rely on a professional support community as well, and I know that even reaching out to inquire about services can be nerve wracking.​ Other moments of joy in my life are brought by reading, playing video games, and going on new adventures. A goal for 2026 is to take up some photography, too!

Please feel free to contact me if you think we might be a good fit!
