what is therapy with rachel actually like?
I deeply believe therapy should feel like a space where you are not only understood, but safe enough to actually begin healing.
So often, we’re given coping tools or more breathing exercises that never quite get to the root of the “stuckness” that we experience. With me, we go beyond the patterns, coping, and symptoms to get to the reason why you still feel stuck to work towards growth that feels genuinely liberating.
I want to genuinely get to know you — your story, your relationships, your family dynamics, your culture, your identities, and the experiences that shaped you.
I also don’t believe people exist in isolation from the environments and systems around them, so our work always honors the larger contexts that shape your life.
This means I stand with you against oppressive systems (seriously, what is happening in this world??) and showing up with curiosity, acceptance, and at times, a little humor!
Therapy with me is described by my clients to feel warmly authentic and collaborative, where I truly “get you” so we can delve into the roots.
I firmly believe you already hold wisdom about your own life, so we work towards reconnecting with yourself in ways that feel safe, transformative, and sustainable.
Healing is not about becoming someone entirely different — it’s about understanding yourself with more compassion, building internal trust, and softening the shame or survival patterns that have kept you stuck.
We always go at your pace while I support you in integrating insight with actionable change. If you’re ready to truly transform, reach out below!
let’s work together!
