"When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone."

Hello, I'm Rachael!

Finding the therapist that is right for you can be challenging, so I want to let you know a bit about me in hopes to help in that process.

Creating a safe environment rich with empathy and compassion is my priority. However, I am not afraid to be direct and dive into the heart of the concern.

When I am not practicing, I enjoy being in nature by hiking, paddle boarding, gardening, or playing badminton. I enjoy finding beauty in my life, and live at home with my husband and our cat.
