Hello! I’m Dr. Rachel, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who provides psychiatric medication management and to children, teens, and adults. I take a holistic approach to mental health, often incorporating evidence-based interventions such as therapy and lifestyle changes into the care I provide.

I earned my BA in Comparative Cultures and Politics from Michigan State University, my BSN from Duke University, and my DNP in Psychiatric Mental Health from the University of Washington. I completed a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children's Hospital. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent eight years working as an emergency department nurse in pediatric and adult settings.

I'm so glad you're here.

Women wear many hats: we are partners, mothers, daughters, friends, confidantes, professionals, and more. The expectations we place on ourselves while navigating these unique roles can lead to overwhelm, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and a loss of sense of self. I help clients find balance among their different parts while discovering new ways of advocating for themselves and creating a life in which they are no longer just surviving, but thriving.

After receiving my Master's of Social work degree from Eastern Washington University, I worked in behavioral healthcare settings to help children, teens, and adults work through a variety of difficulties. As a licensed independent clinical social worker, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the challenges that life throws their way. I’m passionate about working with teens/young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions.

I have a Master's in Counseling and have practiced in the field of mental health for nearly two decades. My experience as a therapist includes extensive training and work in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, women’s issues, and spirituality. I am licensed in both California (LPCC) and Washington (LMHC), and I’m a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). I also hold a certification in Grief (CGP). I emphasize a whole-person approach to care, considering the full spectrum of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors that impact your overall health and well-being.

I have over 10 years of experience as a social worker assisting those with chronic mental health struggles. I specialize in anxiety, OCD & phobias, mood disorders and general work with adults experiencing challenging life stressors, change or loss. No matter what life stage you are in, therapy can help you cope and learn to thrive.

I am a lifelong behavioral health practitioner with 35 years of experience providing counseling services to a large cross section of clients including veterans, first responders, athletes, and individuals learning to manage symptoms associated with post traumatic stress, chronic pain, chronic conditions, depression, anxiety, and phase of life transitions. I am a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and licensed to treat co-occurring disorders in another state.

My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process difficult life situations, decisions, transitions and mental health challenges. I offer supportive guidance, a listening ear and a focus on self care. I use eclectic techniques based on what makes the most sense for each individual client and bring over 20 years of experience to our sessions.

We all have experiences in life that might leave us feeling broken or disconnected with ourselves, others, in relationships, and the world around us. I believe that healing and wholeness can belong to all of us. If you are looking for someone to support you on your journey toward wellness and restoration, allow me to accompany you on the road that can often feel isolating when taken alone. The therapeutic relationship is paramount to me!

I believe in our capacity to adapt, grow, love, grieve, overcome & thrive. Stressful events, trauma, loss, illness & change can overwhelm our ability to cope. We become stuck. We protect ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the wound is triggered, we experience pain & distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover & remove blocks to healing, transforming pain & loss into meaning, awareness & choice.
