I utilize a holistic approach and adapt each counseling relationship to the individual’s personal needs, goals, and aspirations. This is done through a strengths-based, client-focused therapeutic approach to partner with you as you seek wholeness.

If you are actively seeking change, want to be challenged in healthy ways, appreciate structure and humor, or want to incorporate your faith in your sessions, we will be a great fit!

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families as they seek to make necessary changes for cultivating a fulfilling and authentic life. It is my goal to identify your strengths, increase your self-awareness, and assist you in your journey. I specialize in anxiety, depression, faith based (Christian) counseling, pre-martial and martial counseling, life transitions, and identity issues.

First session

During our first session, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into any specific challenges you are facing. This will help me to create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

My biggest strengths are making clients feel safe, heard, and empowered. Clients have shared that I offer practical solutions to everyday problems and bring a warmth to every session. I utilize humor when appropriate and believe that therapy can be fun! If you are actively seeking change, want to be challenged in healthy ways, appreciate structure and humor, or want to incorporate your faith in your sessions, we will be a great fit!

Ideal clients

Adults 18 and up, couples, older teens(16-17), college students, BIPOC community, those seeking Christian counseling, older adults 65 and up

Treatment methods

Christian Counseling

For those who desire I integrate faith, specifically following Christ, and how it impacts our worldview and overall wellbeing. This looks like referencing scripture from the Bible, prayer, and open communication surrounding faith

Rachel has a warm, inviting presence that instantly makes you feel safe to open up and be vulnerable. She is an exceptionally attentive listener, demonstrated by the thoughtful questions she asks that directly build on what you share. Her supportive guidance makes you genuinely want to put in the work and achieve real results. I couldn't recommend her more!

Rachael is the best! What initially brought me to her is the fact that she integrates spirituality and has a holistic approach. She seemed like someone that would be easy to talk to and that has proven to be true. She really listens and never comes off as judgmental. Our first session had an immediate impact because she helped me to view things in a different way and that has been so helpful. I look forward to our sessions, and she really makes me feel understood and safe in sharing.
