(Updated 6/27/22) Hi, my name is Rachel. Unfortunately, I am NOT taking new clients at this time. -------------------------------------------------- According to the great poet Rainer Maria Rilke, "The only journey is the journey within." We all need help sometimes and we all have room to grow. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, whether it is to address a severe mental illness, to receive support through a rough season of life, or to gain greater self-knowledge and unleash your full potential. My professional interests include psychoses, dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, and narcissistic abuse. As a bilingual and bi-cultural therapist, I am especially sensitive to cultural issues and can provide therapy in Korean. I can also address spiritual and religious issues in treatment. Please call me to schedule an appointment. I do not communicate electronically. Free 20 minute phone consultation available. (Phone number will be available when I have availability.)
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your brain is like a muscle and therapy is like exercise for your brain. Sessions with me will not always feel comfortable because growth requires discomfort. But I provide a safe emotional space to feel and explore that discomfort and help you get more comfortable with being uncomfortable which is what helps you grow.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Generally speaking, my approach is relational, focusing on empowering you. I am also trained in exposure therapy to treat trauma.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Population-wise, my niche includes Korean speakers, Asians, immigrants, health care workers, and creatives. I especially love helping empathic people who have difficulty setting boundaries and often feel used by other people develop a stronger sense of self and learn assertive communication skills.
