About Rachel 

I firmly believe that as humans, we genuinely put forth our best effort day to day and naturally gravitate toward healing and growth. Our best varies substantially as our environment, circumstances, resources, supports, relationships, sense of safety, and understanding of ourselves, others, and the world vary. These and other factors have a significant impact on our experience of life and our ability to respond to its inherent ups and downs. Having a place to pause and cultivate awareness, choice, and clarity about ourselves, our actions, and our suffering in the broader context of our lives as well as within a therapeutic relationship can be very beneficial, even transformational. 

 

I believe therapy can be immensely useful in this process, but doesn’t have to be the last resort - when it feels as though everything has gone wrong and desperate for relief. Instead, therapy can look a variety of ways, depending on the client and how they want to approach and utilize therapy. Breaking out of the traditional therapy mold provides ample opportunities for personalizing therapeutic work so that the format, frequency, duration, and modality better meet your needs as the client. However you may wish to approach therapy, I am honored to develop a meaningful therapeutic relationship with you, guiding you through the process by offering my expertise and support, encouraging you connect with and cultivate your inner wisdom and strength, and empowering you with choice so you can more easily and effectively engage in the difficult, life changing work therapy can provide.
