Hi, I'm Rachel!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington. I obtained a Masters Degree in Counseling in 2015 and have been working full time in the field since. I am a compassion and trauma focused therapist and enjoy working with a variety of different clients and issues. I am a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA affirming therapist. I belong to, and strive to be a safe place for persons of these communities.
In my work, I draw from many modalities of treatment depending on your presenting concern. I tend to favor "parts work" or Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and EMDR because I see a lot of transformation come from these forms of therapy. I also believe that the relationship with your therapist, (feeling respected, understood, and cared for), is the backbone to any good therapy.
In my work with clients, I tend to see them feeling more connected to and accepting of themselves as well as feeling less emotionally burdened and in turn noticing more energy in their lives.
