I also work side by side with people to help with identifying and resolving the causes of depression and anxiety along with skills to work through the struggling moments.
I work with people across the life span to meet them where they are. I believe people are the experts on themselves, but just need help with navigating what is inside, so they can see their own self-worth and potential. In helping people work through their traumatic experiences, we can take a new approach where the person does not have to tell their story AGAIN and relive their experiences. Instead we can look at how the mind and brain react and recognize how to build resiliency to achieve an optimal level of happiness, calm, and freedom from being owned by emotional responses.

Starting therapy can be an awkward and anxious thing, which is why I focus on a low pressure introduction and virtual therapy that allows you to stay in the environment that is most comfortable and convenient to you.
You know all the right things about mental health, but your emotions still feel overwhelming. People often comment about how well-adjusted your are or compliment you on your success, but in truth, you don't feel this way. You feel stuck in your mind and struggle to process what you feel so that your can heal. It's even possible that you have tried therapy before, but you weren't able to achieve the change you wanted. If you relate to this, I can help you better understand what is going on and we can work together to get back to your most natural self.

Life transitions, parenting, anxiety, depression, & substance abuse can all be difficult issues to go through, however, I am here to help you navigate these unchartered waters.
The vulnerability required of therapy can be overwhelming. As someone who has personally experienced not only the benefits of therapy, but the support & compassion of a therapist, I can safely say working with someone who sees you as an individual can truly do wonders. When clients seek my therapeutic services, I don’t view them as having “problems.” I recognize them as individuals, stuck in patterns of behaviors no longer helpful. As an upbeat & energetic person, I provide a safe, open, & validating environment to facilitate change.

I work with adults struggling with identity exploration, life transitions, identifying and regulating emotions, building self-esteem, relational conflict, communication, anxiety and depression.
Loneliness, fear, and worry are powerful feelings that can keep us disconnected from those around us. You might notice yourself thinking “things have to change” or “I can’t do this anymore.” Perhaps you feel like you’ve tried everything and are exhausted from the effort; you’ve tried to talk to others but walk away feeling misunderstood and lonely. It could even be that the fear of sharing your story and experiences feels overwhelming. Counseling is an opportunity to experience the opposite; it’s a space to connect with someone who listens without judgment or distraction.

Rachael has been interested in mental health since she can remember. Growing up, this manifested itself into her being a nosy kiddo :). However, as she aged she turned that "nosiness" into a passion, an education, and a career. Rachael is excited about the relief and clarity offered in working through a therapeutic process. Being a Christian, Rachael is also sure that God cares deeply about the wholeness of His people.

I have also presented my work on trauma nationally and internationally which has lead to the publication of three distinguished books on anxiety, depression, trauma and panic.
Psychotherapy and counseling are most effective and long lasting when provided with compassion, understanding and hope. I believe in these values strongly. Talking about your doubts, worries and fears with a stranger can be daunting at first. When you are offered an open, responsive dialogue that is nonjudgemental, accepting and respectful this initial discomfort is replaced by a sense of emotional freedom rarely experienced before.Self acceptance and resiliency emerge and grow so that life challenges that before seemed so inhibiting are now met with confidence. I have been honored to witness and participate in these hard work miracles for over 35 years.

You have taken a very important first step by considering going to therapy and looking into your options for a provider. I worked in the treatment of addictions for over twenty-five years, which allowed me to help a great many people with a wide variety of issues. My specialty areas include helping those with substance use or those who love someone with a substance use disorder, anxiety, relationship issues and trauma. I think therapy is the process of making connections and having a safe space to explore, express and renew.
