About Rachael
I have a passion for working with young adults 18-35 and adolescents 13 and older, who are exploring their identities and trying to create their place in the world. Whether this includes healing past trauma, increasing coping skills or changing relational patterns, I’m honored to be part of their support system during this transitional period in life.
Our work together can address a variety of topics, like increasing healthy coping strategies for anxiety and depression, breaking the cycle of perfectionism and self-judgment, increasing self-compassion, LGBTQIA+ identity exploration, family of origin issues and learning how to set healthy boundaries in relationships. I am privileged to have had extensive experience working with a diverse clientele in my career. I strive to co-create a safe, inclusive and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where people of all identities feel affirmed and welcome.
I seek to support clients using a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework and person-centered approach. My therapeutic practice incorporates evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Play, Art and Expressive Therapies, Narrative Therapy and others.
My own wellness practices include a mixture of art, crafting, cooking and other creative hobbies, as well as mindfulness. Attending live music concerts and involvement in the arts community also makes my heart sing. I was drawn to the Pacific Northwest by its incredible ecosystems and natural beauty. In my spare time, you will often find me outdoors.
