hello there :) My name is Rachel, a therapist based in California. My work with clients is sensitive, collaborative, warm, and non-judgmental. It's us against the problem- you bring the expertise of your life and I bring the expertise of training and professional experience. My role in this process is to listen, understand, support, and meet you where you are. Through this I aim to create a safe and trusting environment where you can begin to reveal and heal your true self.
