Hi there! I'm Rachel (she/her).

I know what it's like to feel stuck in patterns or like coping skills just aren't giving you the lasting relief you're looking for.

Having recovered from a severe eating disorder and complex trauma myself, I understand how hopeless and disconnected life can feel—and I also know that healing is possible.

That's why I work as a therapist, life coach, and psychic medium! I believe there are many paths to healing, and whatever brings you here, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, genuinely connected, and supported enough to move toward lasting change.

I'm also deeply passionate about social justice and collective liberation. I believe healing doesn't happen in isolation, so I strive to honor the cultures, relationships, and lived experiences that have shaped who you are.

on a personal note…

I’m also just a human existing in the same chaos as everyone else. So yes, I also have a therapist!

I’m the parentified eldest daughter in a super traditional Japanese family — which honestly explains a lot, lol. Despite the horrendous bowl cuts I got as a kid (see picture), I still take a lot of pride in being raised by my immigrant grandparents and in the cultural values they passed down to me. I love my community of friends, family, partner, and my dog Benny more than anything.

I’m also a huge Lakers fan (even though the third quarter continues to test my emotional wellbeing), love baking, and will never say no to a good matcha. I’m a huge foodie too, so you’ll probably find me trying a new restaurant whenever I can. I also play an objectively unhealthy amount of Overwatch and snowboard frequently with my family.

Outside of work, you can usually find me reading romantasy books, being angry at the government, or dreaming about one day retiring in Japan to live my best Studio Ghibli life.
