“Having sought support from many therapists at different points in my life to navigate its ups and downs, I realized that what I truly wanted was a connection beyond mere checkpoints in my journey. I wanted to find someone who not only could understand my experience but relate to it, culturally. Now in my late twenties, I decided to embark on my healing journey with a more intentional mindset. Fortunately for me, I discovered Raquel very quickly.
From our first conversation on Zoom, I was immediately drawn to Raquel's calming energy, fostering a sense of comfort. There was never a moment where I didn't feel like she wasn't listening or didn't care (yes, this has happened to me before). She was as intentional with me as I was with her and we were able to identify exactly how she could help me in just one session. The real magic? Over the course of the following year, we delved into emotions I had long buried (and partially didn't even know were there), resulting in an incredibly transformative impact on my life. Raquel's dedicated focus on healing enabled me to shift my perspective from "life is happening to me" to "life is happening FOR me, and I am so grateful." In this time, I established boundaries in relationships that I once feared would break me, learned coping mechanisms for my anxiety, identified triggers for my panic attacks, and most importantly, learned to embrace the person I am to welcome the person I am becoming.
Raquel played an integral role in this journey, and for the first time, I feel like I have someone who is not just guiding me through checkpoints but is truly prepared to help me navigate this new era of self. I've fallen in love with the journey of "doing the work" and can't imagine not having Raquel by my side.”

“I came to Raquel after years of academic and professional success and then all of a sudden feeling stuck. I struggled to make decisions and take the next steps in meeting my next goals. Raquel’s patient, expert, and gentle guidance has helped me identify the root of some of my behaviors. She provides the tools to help me recognize and identify the blockages. We have then worked together on consistently applying the helpful behavioral changes to help me move beyond the barriers. I am happy to say that I moved beyond the financial fears and purchased my first home. I am also able to have more mental space to build meaningful relationships with my family and friends. She’s helped me in protecting my peace and I am forever grateful for her guidance and gentle accountability.”

“Working with Raquel as my therapist and life coach has been a transformative experience. Her guidance has been pivotal in helping me find clarity and purpose and facilitating tangible life changes. With her support, I decided to go back to school for a Master’s Degree, a step that has been immensely rewarding both personally and professionally. She equipped me with the skills and mindset to excel in my responsibilities and leadership roles, resulting in a promotion at work. Raquel emphasized the importance of self-care and setting boundaries. Thanks to her, I now view self-care as necessary for holistic well-being, not an indulgence. Her wisdom has helped me set healthy boundaries, which have been crucial for my mental health and have enriched my personal and professional relationships. Raquel’s expertise has been invaluable in guiding me on a path of self-discovery and empowerment. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life.”
