What some of my clients have to say
about our work in therapy together:
Imagine one day, your whole world changes. You have fallen into a deep dark pit and there’s no way out. Surrounded by darkness and loneliness, you begin to lose hope that things will ever change or get better. Everything feels numb, and even the smallest of tasks are riddled with difficulty. It seems like life is way too much and you think “what’s the point?”
Then, one day, you meet Rachel. She shares the space with you… staying with you, hearing what you’ve been going through, validating your experiences, and she helps you. It’s almost as if she radiates a gentle light in the darkness. And as you unwrap the traumas, emotions, and experiences, she stays with you and guides you each step of the way. Steadfast in her support, she continually cheers you on. And if you need to pause and get your footing, she’s there to help. With her help, you climb out of the pit and life completely changes. There’s brilliant sunshine, cheer, joy, and immense gratitude. The world is colorful and bright, almost as if you’re wearing rose- colored glasses. That’s what my experience has been with Rachel as my therapist.
She is amazing at really listening, supporting you, meeting you where you are, and caring for you- just as you are. You don’t have to be anyone else. And she’s equipped to support you wherever you are in your journey. She’s kind, empathetic, and caring. I am so thankful that she came into my life and helped me. When we started therapy, I was chronically ill and disabled, depressed, anxious, fearful of leaving my small space and interacting in the world. Each day was a struggle to survive, literally.
After years of working together, I am happy, content, thriving, healthy, and resilient. I am living life full of joy and hope and excited for whatever comes next. And I know that if I ever stumble or have an experience that’s too much for me to handle or process that Rachel will be there to help and guide me back onto my path. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, or any other issue really. She’s the best and I’m so thankful to know her. So why not see for yourself how far you could go with unwavering support by your side?
My trauma has healed in ways I never thought possible for me and I have grown so much.
Rachel is an incredible trauma therapist - truly one of a kind. She meets you exactly where you are, with such tenderness and understanding. What sets Rachel apart isn't just her deep skill and knowledge (which are beyond evident), but the way she shows up, fully present, compassionate, and deeply human.
You can tell that this work is more than a job to her - it's a calling. Her passion and authenticity shine through in every session. She holds space without judgment, offers insights with care, and walks alongside you on the healing journey with so much heart. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
I am so thankful for you. Your wisdom is really changing our relationship. So thankful for who you are and the integrity you give to your work. Thank you for such an insightful and validating therapy session. My heart is overflowing wth grattitude for you. Thank you for supporting us so well and for being so attentive to us.
I have learned to love myself, learned to manage my anxiety and depression, learned to foster healthy relationships, learned how to love myself as a mother and accept myself as I am. Rachel has supported me towards every goal of positive change. She accepted me as I was every step of the way. Because of the way she continued to see so much potential in me, gave me the eyes to see it for myself.
Our family is doing so well since therapy. My kids can communicate their feelings with me and I can communicate well with them now. We do art as a family and have continued to use that as a form of relaxation and communication. I can tell that she honestly cares about me as a person and is genuinely interested in my family’s well being. Even though I judged myself so harshly, Rachel was always kind and I never felt judged at all. She is amazing and listens to me and my children. The techniques she used have been very helpful for my kids.
Rachel has helped me and not judged me and guided me in the best ways. And I will forever be grateful. And I will continue to work on building myself up and living my beautiful life.
Rachel saved my life. I was suicidal, depressed, anxious, lost, empty, broken. I had never experienced a safe space to digest all my trauma and learn to love myself and accept who I am in the process. I am a different person than I was before I starting seeing her. I am happy and healthy now and Rachel has been with me through every season of growth and change.
Each session is a safe space for healing. I have learned to set boundaries and find my voice to advocate for myself.
She truly sees me and welcomes me as I am. She has so much knowledge and understanding of what she’s doing. It’s inspiring! I’ve been able to feel more comfortable with speaking up for myself and trusting others more when I share my thoughts and feelings. I know she truly cares. And that makes me feel like I can trust her with so much. I have gained insight and made positive changes as a result of therapy. Rachel has been such an amazing support and guide throughout my experiences. I can’t thank her enough for all that she does."
Rachel has helped me develop my own communication style and become comfortable advocating for myself.
I feel safe talking to her about anything. [She is] extremely validating and open and very respectful of LGBTQ+ people. The tools and techniques [Brainspotting and EMDR] are more effective than any other therapy I've tried.
My life has completely changed because of the insights and positive changes that have come as a result of therapy.
