Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.

If you’re feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward, my goal is to help you uncover what’s holding you back, heal the underlying roots of shame, disappointment, and loss, and begin to believe again in the possibility of a brighter, more fulfilling future.

  • This could be an indicator that your soul needs attention and care. Learn to process your emotions in a healthy way so that you can continue to take action steps that move you forward.

  • You’re able to take action steps, but your emotions of anxiety and anger are hindering you from feeling emotions of peace and calm. Learn to be-friend your emotions without shame, discover hidden wisdom behind your emotions and use your logical mind to heal emotional wounds.

  • Unprocessed grief and trauma can quietly impact your relationships, career, spiritual life, and overall well-being. Healing the pain of the past is essential—not to forget it, but to grow from it, gain insight, and finally move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and emotional freedom.

I’m Rachel.

I believe you deserve relief from pain and hope for healing.

If you’re feeling disconnected in your relationships, overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or spiritually depleted—you’re not alone.

These experiences can leave you feeling isolated, stuck, and uncertain about where to turn next. In therapy, I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can process your story, identify areas of pain, and begin to envision meaningful next steps. Together, we’ll work toward healing and help you move forward with renewed clarity, connection, and hope for a brighter future.

How I can help

I specialize in therapy for lasting change.

  • We hurt and heal in relationships. Relationships can be one of the biggest influencers in your life. In therapy, we’ll explore your attachment style and uncover how early relational experiences may be influencing your current connections. Through attachment-informed therapy and psychoeducation, you’ll gain practical tools to build healthier relationships, improve communication, and foster emotional safety and connection.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that activates full-brain processing to help you heal from trauma, painful memories, and deeply rooted negative beliefs. By targeting the emotional and cognitive blocks that keep you stuck, EMDR allows your brain to reprocess distressing experiences and integrate them in a healthier, more adaptive way.

    This approach helps you move beyond survival-based reactions and reconnect with a sense of personal strength, safety, and freedom. Many clients experience faster breakthroughs with EMDR, as it addresses the root causes of emotional pain while supporting long-term healing and emotional resilience.

  • If you’re experiencing disconnection or loneliness in your spiritual life, it may be a sign that it’s time to gently explore what’s contributing to that distance. Faith crises and spiritually dry seasons are more common than many realize—and they don’t mean you’ve failed. In fact, a renewed and authentic connection to your faith can become a powerful part of healing from life’s challenges, grief, or trauma.

    Through spiritually integrated therapy, you can begin to reconnect with your faith in a way that feels emotionally grounding, honest, and meaningful—supporting both your emotional well-being and your spiritual growth.

  • Your therapy journey is unique, and your treatment should be too. I use a tailored, integrative approach that draws from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you achieve your goals more effectively.

    By combining the most effective tools from these proven therapies, we’ll work together to address emotional challenges, promote healing, and help you unlock your full potential with clarity and confidence.
