Rachel is a native of the Washington DC area with a Master’s Degree in Special Education and over twenty years of experience working with the neurodivergent community. Helping others build confidence and meaningful connections is not just her profession — it’s her passion. Nothing makes her happier than supporting individuals as they grow socially and personally.

In her free time, Rachel loves exploring new places, trying out new restaurants, organizing social events, watching the latest TV shows, and spending quality time with friends.

Anyone who wants to feel more confident and connected in social or dating situations can benefit from working with The Social Skills Girl. Rachel supports neurodivergent teens and adults who may find social interactions challenging — whether that means starting conversations, building friendships, navigating relationships, or understanding social dynamics.

These sessions are especially helpful for individuals who:

• Want to improve communication and relationship-building skills.

• Struggle with reading or responding to social cues.

• Feel anxious or unsure in social or dating situations.

• Are looking to increase self-awareness and confidence.

Rachel provides a compassionate, encouraging environment where clients can practice real-world skills, gain insight, and celebrate progress at their own pace.

Each session has a specific purpose, but Rachel customizes every one to meet the unique needs of the person she’s working with — ensuring that each experience is engaging, supportive, and effective.

Absolutely! While Rachel specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals, her coaching is beneficial for anyone who wants to improve their social or dating skills.

Whether you want to feel more confident starting conversations, build stronger friendships, navigate dating more comfortably, or simply communicate more effectively, Rachel provides personalized support that meets you where you are.

Everyone can benefit from learning new ways to connect — and Rachel’s compassionate, practical approach helps clients of all backgrounds feel understood and empowered.

Sessions are 45-minutes to be perfectly balanced — long enough to cover the material thoroughly without feeling rushed, yet concise enough to keep engagement high and prevent information overload.

The goal is to create lessons that flow smoothly, with enough time for teaching, interactive practice, and reflection — so nothing important is missed, and learners stay motivated throughout.

The sessions are conducted virtually; however, Rachel strives to create an environment that fosters a strong sense of presence and connection.

Rachel has a Master’s Degree in Special Education and two decades of experience working with individuals with disabilities of all ages in the school, home, and community settings. She has been providing social skill and dating services for three years.
