MEET DR. RACHEL WHITE
Clinical Expertise
with a Human, Relational Approach
I’m Dr. Rachel White, a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps individuals and couples understand the patterns shaping their lives, relationships, and sense of self.
With over 15 years of clinical experience and doctoral-level training in Marriage and Family Therapy, I bring a relational, attachment-focused lens to therapy. My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins when we can slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin relating to ourselves and others with greater clarity, steadiness, and connection.

My background allows me to bring both clinical depth and practical clarity into the therapy room.
My Lens for Individual and Couples Therapy
My work is grounded in the belief that many of the patterns we struggle with do not develop in isolation. Anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, disconnection, and conflict often make more sense when we understand the experiences, relationships, nervous system responses, and protective strategies that shaped them.
A relational lens means we look beneath the surface. Rather than focusing only on symptoms or immediate concerns, therapy explores how you learned to cope, protect yourself, seek connection, avoid conflict, manage emotions, set boundaries, or carry responsibility for others. This allows the work to move toward deeper insight, emotional steadiness, healthier relationships, and more lasting change.
Whether I am working with an individual or a couple, I pay close attention to the patterns shaping how people relate, to themselves, to others, and to the life they are trying to build. My goal is to help patients move beyond blame, shame, and stuckness, and toward greater clarity, self-understanding, emotional safety, and meaningful connection.
