“I liked and felt comfortable with Rachelle from the start. She listens and asks questions if she is unsure, and it is so obvious that she really wants to help. My only concern is that I might overwhelm her. I have some pretty deep issues, and I certainly hope she can help. I have faith, and at the moment that will have to do.' Rachelle is a very smart and intelligent young woman. My feelings are that she will be able to give support to many who suffer, and help them negotiate a happier and hopefully more rewarding life.”

“I am incredibly grateful for my experience with my therapist. From the very first session, I felt heard, understood, and supported in a way that felt both compassionate and empowering. They create a safe, non-judgmental space where it’s easy to open up, even about difficult or deeply personal topics. Their guidance has helped me gain clarity, build emotional resilience, and develop healthier ways to manage stress and life transitions. They listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and provide insights that are practical and meaningful. not generic advice. What truly sets them apart is their genuine care and professionalism. I always leave sessions feeling lighter, more grounded, and confident in my ability to handle challenges. I highly recommend this therapist to anyone looking for real growth, healing, and support.”

I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and supported. I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and hold a Marriage and Family Therapy Limited Permit (MFT-LP). My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, combining compassion with practical tools to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and create positive change.

    Amazing therapist to work with! Definitely recommend! Sadly because of insurance change I have to find another therapist but definitely would stick with her great advice and is very helpful!
    Rachelle is professional, attentive, and passionate about health and wellness. You can tell she cares for the wellbeing of her clients and actively strives to grow her knowledge and understanding of the psyche
    I had a great experience. She listened to what I'm going to go through , and we spent much time digging through my past. I felt very comfortable with talking to her and I'm looking forward to future sessions.

    Rachelle is wonderful ! I don't usually leave reviews about people or things unless I feel very strongly about them as I do in this case. Rachelle has been a blessing and so good at being able to help my adult daughter and I to communicate effectively, without yelling at each other. We've been able to unpack some very strong emotions in a calm manner , my daughter and I laughed at the fact that it would take a VERY skilled counselor to handle the both of us. And we have found Rachelle to be that person and we are both very thankful for her.
    Rachelle is a very understanding & knowledgeable therapist. She always hears me through everything, even in The moments where the words are hard to let out. In reply, she’ll always have a way for me to expand my thought process and think in ways I haven’t thought of before. I’m very glad I’ve found Rachelle as my therapist and my time with her has been nothing but refreshing and energizing.
    My experience was great.
