She has supported clients with a wide range of presenting concerns, such as anxiety, trauma, depression, emotional dysregulation, and challenges related to boundaries and self-esteem. Rachel practices from a client-centered, strengths-based, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trauma-informed perspective so she is able to authentically meet clients where they are and honor their diverse identities and lived experiences. In working with Rachel, she leads with warmth and age-appropriate humor, so you can expect a collaborative, compassionate, and non judgemental supportive space for clients to feel safe to show up as their authentic self.
In Rachel’s free time, she loves to cozy up at home with her two cats, Binx and Ember, read lots of books, play games, do yoga, and try different foods! Rachel believes that sand play can be a beneficial and powerful tool in exploring one’s emotions in a safe capacity, in addition to calming one’s senses in talking about difficult topics. Rachel is looking forward to meeting clients where they are and being a part of their healing journey!
