Hi. I am Rachael. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice in finding help. I have availability morning, afternoon, and evening hours Monday - Thursday and morning hours on Friday to offer flexibility for my patients. I am a traveler, foodie, and animal lover who specializes in treating life transitions, stress/anger management, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and substance abuse in adults. No matter what the concern, we can work together to find the right resolution for your life.
You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome whatever you see as a problem. I believe therapy is a unique and different experience for everyone. Maybe it's a time to freely speak your thoughts and gain a new perspective from an impartial person. Maybe it's acquiring a new coping skill to manage emotions during stress or learning to communicate more effectively in your relationships. I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort. I may have the therapeutic knowledge, but YOU are and always will be the expert of YOU. That's important to remember.
Imagine a place to talk about your problems and feelings in a judgement free space, taking the time to exhale from holding your breath while peeling your tongue off the roof of your mouth. I provide a safe space for you to do that by assisting you to identify your own unique strengths and utilize them to overcome challenges, reach your goals, and improve your life.
The skills I use are drawn Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help manage our thoughts and perceptions of events in order to see different perspectives to allow us to feel better.
I provide training on different skills to help improve functioning in different areas of your life and provide handouts for you to use as tools out of practice.
I work with your strengths and abilities to help you become the best version of you.
I am supportive in your reasons to seek therapy and work with you to help you reach the outcomes you desire.
