People have a need to be understood and validated as they navigate through life. Everyone experiences different pitfalls in their lives. It is the manner in which we interpret those experiences that shapes one's perception of themselves. Whether you are experiencing downs or anxiety - unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to live. Therapy can help you reframe those experiences and see how all adversities have a purpose for your future self.

Healing begins from within and flows outwards. There are internal journeys that need to be addressed before one can successfully process, promote, and experience change externally. I do not have a specific ideal client that I would like to work with, because everyone is different. I do hope clients that allow me to work with them will be open and able to communicate their needs to me, so that I may be able to better assist them in a therapeutic manner. More importantly, I would like to partner with my clients to build a healthy therapeutic alliance while actively addressing and participating in sessions.

Rachel works with groups, individuals, couples, and families and operates holistically, considering how mental, emotional, spiritual, physical/nutritional, social, environmental, and occupational factors impact overall well-being throughout the treatment process.

This carries over to couples and families as they learn to shift the relational pattern of behavior through focused emotional connection and understanding.
