Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Rachael—a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’m passionate about helping individuals create meaningful change through a compassionate, solution-focused approach. My practice is rooted in the belief that you already have the tools within you—we’ll just work together to uncover and strengthen them.

What I Specialize In

I work with adults navigating a variety of life experiences and mental health challenges, with a focus on:

  • Anxiety & Depression
  • Coping Skills & Stress Management
  • Burnout & Life Transitions
  • LGBTQIA Affirming Support
  • Women’s Issues

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next steps in your journey, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore what matters most to you.

My approach to therapy

As a solution-focused therapist, I believe that therapy should be empowering, practical, and tailored to your unique goals. Our work together will center on:

  • Clarifying what you want to achieve
  • Highlighting your strengths and past successes
  • Building coping strategies that work for you
  • Creating small, sustainable steps toward change
  • Cultivating a stronger sense of identity, resilience, and self-worth

My style is warm, inclusive, and collaborative. I aim to meet you with authenticity and empathy, while challenging you to move forward with intention and confidence.

Accessible & Flexible Support

I offer online therapy sessions so you can receive care in a space that feels safe and convenient for you, and making therapy easy to access from anywhere you feel most comfortable. Whether you're navigating daily stressors or working through deeper emotional challenges, I’m here to walk alongside you—one solution at a time. I offer flexible scheduling to meet you where you are—literally and emotionally.

What you can expect from me

In each session, you’ll find a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where your voice is heard, your experiences are validated and your growth is the focus. Clients often walk away with:

  • Clear, achievable goals
  • Personalized coping tools
  • A renewed sense of purpose and clarity
  • Stronger emotional resilience
  • Practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress

My goal is to help you:

  • Identify and clarify what you want to change or achieve
  • Build on your existing strengths and successes
  • Develop meaningful, achievable goals
  • Strengthen your self-awareness and confidence
  • Learn practical, real-life tools for managing emotions, relationships, and daily stress
  • Feel empowered to take steps—big or small—toward the life you want

Our time together is centered around hope, possibility, and empowerment. You don’t have to have everything figured out—just a willingness to begin.
