She gets it

Rachael understands both sides of the therapy experience. In addition to being a therapist, she is also a human being and has encountered her own mental health needs like everyone else. Rachael has personally experienced anxiety and the sometimes negative stigma surrounding mental health and wellness. For that reason and countless others, her goal is to offer genuine support to you. She is also on a lifelong mission to make a positive contribution to the public perception of mental health.

Everyone deserves the ability to grow

It is Rachael’s belief that every single person deserves to feel safe as they learn, grow, and make positive changes in their lives. The ability to offer that safe environment is something she is grateful to be able to provide.

While many of her therapeutic approaches are clinical by nature, she also enjoys using sarcasm and humor in sessions when appropriate. Laughter can be very helpful in the healing process, and sarcasm is Rachael’s own idea of a love language. She is not afraid to laugh at herself and sees each misstep in life as an opportunity to learn.

Outside of work, Rachael enjoys cooking and spending time with her Mini Australian Shepherd, Sammy. She’s also been known to binge watch a show or two.

You may be faced with the question, “Does my child need medication for their mental health?” If your child is worried, sad, angry, or overwhelmed, encourage them to talk to a trusted adult. If they are struggling with things like regulating emotions, controlling anger, or focusing it may be a good idea to discuss it with a medical professional.

While we cannot change the past, it IS possible to stop the cycle of intergenerational trauma and prevent it in future generations. Community support and resources play an important role.

Your brain is doing what it is wired to do: protect you from life-threatening danger. The brain does a marvelous job helping your body to react quickly and know to fight, run, or freeze when needing to escape a threat. The trick is — how often are we in situations where we need to run for our lives? On a day-to-day basis, probably not very often.
