Helping you connect–with your life, your loved ones, and yourself.

Hi, I’m Rachel (she/her).

I’m the founder of Connection Psychotherapy, and I want to support you on your path to being well–however you define it. In my work, I center connection, authenticity, respect, and competence while providing clients sex-positive, trauma-informed, evidence-based care.

My specialties include sex therapy, perinatal mental health, and trauma. I also have extensive experience working with queer folks, as well as with mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, and OCD.

Sound familiar?

Something’s off. You’re not yourself, you’re living a life that doesn’t feel authentic to you. Something’s missing.

You feel disconnected from others, finding it hard to be open and vulnerable.

You’re dissatisfied with your sex life, feeling really anxious about sex, maybe even avoiding it.

You can’t stop thinking about your to-do list, the look your partner gave you, or that thing you said last week.

You feel like you’re hanging by a thread as you read this, during the two minutes you have between meetings, pick-up, and throwing together dinner.

You’re constantly googling physical symptoms, looking for signs that you’re healthy, your baby is healthy.

If so, let’s connect.
