More About Me

Hi, I’m Rachel. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I earned my master’s degree in Social Work from Wayne State University and have dedicated my career to helping others find meaningful growth and healing.

I have a deep passion for working with children and families. I’m certified in an evidence-based parenting program that helps parents build stronger relationships with their children while promoting cooperation and positive social skills. My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-focused. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and encouraged as you work toward the changes that matter most to you.

In my free time, I love hanging out with my family and our Yorkie terrier mix, finding new live music to enjoy, and getting lost in a good book.
