I am an energetic, humorous, passionate, mother of 2 with 20+ years experience in helping people with mental health struggles. I use an eclectic approach including CBT and mindfulness to help clients deal with symptoms of depression of anxiety. Yoga and reading are two of my most favorite activities.

With many years of experience working with people with all sorts of trauma and struggles in life I have become really good at helping people find joy and hope in even the darkest parts of life.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I am most passionate about helping those in the community.

First session

In our first session I would gather some preliminary information, do a brief introduction and give you the opportunity to describe what is troubling you the most. From there, we can start working on a plan to help you feel better.

Strengths

With many years of experience working with people with all sorts of trauma and struggles in life I have become really good at helping people find joy and hope in even the darkest parts of life. The use of humor and compassion are my greatest strengths.

Ideal clients

I love working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma and would like to learn how to experience more joy and peace in their lives. I love helping those manage the issues that arise from being a part of the queer community.

Treatment methods

Eclectic

I use a variety of treatment methods and like to tailor my therapy to individual clients based on their needs.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Identifying negative thought patterns and cognitive distortions is an integral part of my practice. Positive reframing can be a life changer.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness and meditation are practices that I love to teach and encourage clients to try. In a chaotic and stressful world, learning to stay in the present moment and ground oneself can be very helpful.

I feel good after my sessions with Rachael. Previously, I was having a difficult time finding the right connection with other providers. Rachael is honest, direct & someone I can trust.

I read her profile and from her picture she looked like someone I would be friends with. She allows me to share my life and she responds authentically and doesn't just sit there and stare at me. She engages with me in session and I can feel that she wants me to reach my goals and would be an advocate for me as well. I feel like I have someone in my corner which is a relief.
