About me
I am a passionate mental health therapist who loves helping people understand their inner world in order to improve their own lives.
Hi, I'm Rachael! I work with teens (ages 12+) and adults who are seeking a safe, collaborative space to better understand themselves and create meaningful change.
My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based practices, and solution-focused techniques to meet you exactly where you are. I believe therapy should move at your pace—sometimes deep and reflective, sometimes light and even a little humorous. Growth often happens when we can hold both our struggles and our strengths with compassion.
I commend you for taking this step toward caring for yourself! I know it can be scary. Together, we’ll build insight, develop practical tools, and find moments of lightness along the way. Healing is possible!
