Vita Magna is Latin for "Great Life." And you are meant to have one. Regardless of what you're up against––be it sexual addiction, trauma, relationships issues––let's discover what it means for you to overcome your challenges and live your best life.
In our work together, we'd explore your family of origin to develop greater insight about how you came to operate in the world and what you grew to believe about yourself and others. We may use the powerful science of EMDR to navigate any "stuck" places (e.g., traumatic memories from childhood). Then, we'd work to empower you to get out there and unleash the greatness within you.

You think fast, feel deeply, and hold a lot for everyone else. To the world, you're the steady one. But internally? You're running 10 open tabs at once: tracking every family dynamic, scanning for outcomes, and managing unspoken needs. You're the go-to problem solver, but you can't think your way out of this level of exhaustion. I work with deep thinkers who are stuck in overdrive. Together, we look at the systems you're navigating and start shifting the patterns that leave you feeling stuck and overwhelmed.

Hello there! I am so happy you are here, and I am honored to hear your story. I want to remind you, by looking for a counselor today you’ve made such a brave decision. Life is challenging and doing it alone can sometimes feel impossible. As a counselor I strive to give you a safe and welcoming space to actively work towards your goals and explore the aspects of your life that need extra attention.

I specialize in supporting high-achieving women who feel emotionally exhausted from doing it all yet still sensing something is missing. My clients are often navigating major life transitions—career changes, relationship shifts, motherhood, or rediscovering who they are outside of their roles. They’re deeply self-aware but find it hard to slow down, set boundaries, or release guilt when they do.

Becoming the best version of yourself can often take both time and practice. The tasks and challenges of the day can seem overwhelming and anxiety producing. Sometimes we find ourselves stifled in our own growth and we struggle to find inner peace and permission which allows us to move forward. It is important for us to understand as humans, that it is okay to seek guidance and an outside perspective. It is a priority of mine to provide a safe, calm and client-centered environment for clients to obtain a better perspective on themselves.

People-pleasing, emotional masking (hiding or minimizing your true feelings to appear okay or avoid burdening others), over-functioning in relationships, or shutting down your needs even when you deeply want closeness and connection, are all spaces I love to explore as your therapist. I light up around working alongside adults who long for deeper connection but often appear put together on the outside while feeling unseen, disconnected, or somewhat unknown inside.

I believe that each of us carries a deep inner wisdom; a quiet knowing of who we truly are beneath the layers of conditioning, trauma, and expectations we’ve absorbed along the way. My calling is to help you return to that place within yourself, to your truth and wholeness.
In our work together, I offer a space that is warm and deeply honoring of your full humanity. I hold the therapeutic relationship as a kind of sanctuary; a place where you can gently explore the stories and wounds that have shaped you, and begin the process of remembering who you are beyond them.

Sometimes, our stressful thoughts can become overwhelming and become taxing in our day to day experiences. I help people get "unstuck". I am passionate about working with the Hispanic/ Latin community. I can help with navigating challenging or conflicting cultural and familial differences. If you find yourself in a tough situation, starting to lose sleep, stuck in negative thoughts, and feeling like you are reliving the past due to trauma, then I might be able to help. I have helped people navigate these circumstances and the pain and struggles they have.

Are you worn out from people-pleasing, chasing perfection, and feeling like you’re never enough? Many of us carry wounds or limiting beliefs from the past, making it hard to tell where others’ expectations end and our true selves begin. As a therapist working with teens and adults across Texas, I help clients nurture their relationship with themselves and others. Through therapy, self-critical views are challenged, awareness grows, connections deepen, and authenticity emerges.

Many people carry invisible wounds from experiences that were overwhelming, unsafe, or life-altering.

Hi, I’m Rachel. People often come to therapy when they want more clarity, steadiness, or support navigating stress, anxiety, ADHD, or life transitions. You may be feeling stretched thin, uncertain about next steps, or simply wanting a space to think and reflect without pressure.

Clients sometimes ask me why it's easier for them to talk about "heavy" things in my office, versus at home or with their friends. Their second question/concern is about why they should use their resources to take care of themselves instead of other things... My response: Seeking guidance from an unbiased third party usually allows for increased honesty and vulnerability because there's no judgement and no personal relationship with me outside of therapy. Your story matters! Taking care of You is one of the most important commitments that you'll ever make. Self awareness and confidence is something that every person deserves.

Overthinking, emotional intensity, or control-based patterns with food, body, or self that leave you feeling overwhelmed by your inner world and longing to feel like yourself again are areas of passion for me as your therapist. I’m here for highly self-aware, deeply feeling adults who are used to holding more than they let others see, and over time may notice that turning into anxiety, depression, shutdown, or a constant sense of trying to get back to “okay.”
