My work as a therapist is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and liberation psychology. I help people navigate trauma while recognizing the ways our relationships, environments, and larger systems can shape our mental health. I have a particular passion for working with adolescents, young adults, and adults from underserved communities, while welcoming clients from all backgrounds. Genuine connection is at the heart of my work. I value open, transparent communication and strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll explore where you’ve been, what you’re experiencing now, and where you want to go. Therapy should help you better understand yourself while building a greater sense of agency in your life. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your experiences, needs, and goals. I integrate psychoeducation with somatic and cognitive approaches, with a particular focus on how trauma and stress show up in the body. Whether we’re processing difficult experiences, understanding patterns, or developing new ways of responding, my style is compassionate, gently direct, and focused on helping you move forward in a way that feels meaningful to you. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped in part by my own experiences with mental health and the process of finding my way through them. Those experiences strengthened my commitment to care that helps people reclaim a sense of choice, control, and connection. I don’t believe therapists need to leave their humanity at the door. I bring authenticity, curiosity, and genuine connection into the therapy room because I believe those qualities can make the work feel more honest, comfortable, and meaningful. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me skiing, rock climbing, spending time with friends, playing video games, or drinking probably too much coffee. I also grew up near the coast, and the ocean remains one of my favorite places to reset and recharge.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion regulation, substance use recovery, and life transitions. Many of the patients I see feel overwhelmed by these struggles and find themselves caught in unhealthy coping patterns, difficult relationships, or people-pleasing. Together, we focus on building healthier ways to cope. Lasting change, in my experience, happens when patients feel both supported and equipped with practical tools, and that belief shapes how I show up as a collaborative, goal-oriented partner in your growth. I look forward to helping you gain greater insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you can expect a warm and supportive environment where I'm passionate about empowering you with the knowledge and tools you need to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to help you build practical coping skills, improve emotion regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change. This approach is collaborative, practical, and evidence-based while being tailored to your unique needs and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began with working in inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment, helping patients navigate co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. This experience deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that balances validation with practical skill-building. Now, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a collaborative, goal-oriented perspective to each session, empowering patients to better understand themselves and develop the tools they need to thrive. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors and staying active. Some of my favorite hobbies include skiing, mountain biking, rafting, wake surfing, water skiing, and golfing. These activities help me recharge and appreciate the time I spend in nature. I also enjoy watercolor painting and reading. Painting provides a creative outlet and a chance to slow down, while reading allows me to keep learning and unwind. My favorite books are on psychology, personal development, and fiction.

Life throws many challenges at us and sometimes it can be hard to know what to about these challenges. I work with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression and are feeling down more than usual or aren't feeling like they belong. I know what it feels like to not feel good enough, to worry about what people think of you, and to constantly be there to help others but not always be there for yourself. If this is something you struggle with, I am confident we can work together to navigate these issues. We can add more joy and take away stress from your life.

School is more than an academic challenge. It's often a time when long-standing patterns in relationships, identity, and self-expectations become impossible to ignore. You may find yourself constantly meeting others' expectations, questioning your own decisions, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for keeping the peace in your relationships while losing sight of what you need. My practice is dedicated to helping students understand how these patterns developed and why they may no longer serve them. Together, we'll explore the ways you've learned to relate to yourself and others, strengthen your sense of self, and help you develop the confidence to make choices that reflect your values rather than guilt, fear, or the expectations of others. You don't have to choose between caring about the people in your life and caring for yourself. My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your unique story. Whether you're navigating academic pressure, relationship challenges, family expectations, or major life transitions, therapy offers a space to better understand yourself, build self-trust, and create relationships that support both connection and authenticity.

Our clinicians have immense compassion for the circumstances that lead one to seek out therapy. We hold therapy as a safe, non-judgmental space dedicated to your healing and growth. Through this work we may explore where you feel stuck and how to get unstuck, come to understand the multifaceted parts that make up your identity, what it means to be in relationship with yourself and those around you, how to be authentically yourself, and ultimately create deeper, more meaningful relationships and experiences.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my work is rooted in helping teens and adults navigate complex trauma, late-diagnosed or suspected neurodivergent experiences, and the deeper questions of identity, relationships, and purpose. Whether you're processing a difficult life transition, untangling a late diagnosis of autism or ADHD, or beginning to understand how past experiences have shaped who you are today, I'm here to help you find clarity, connection, and a path forward. I believe in the power of connection and the idea that every part of you has value, which helps me be a genuine partner in building something that actually works for you. There’s no clipboard here, no one-size-fits-all plan handed down without context. Together, we'll explore who you are, tinker with the pieces, and discover the purpose you came here to find. You can expect warmth, honesty, and a comfortable space that feels both safe and genuine throughout our time together. Drawing on humanistic, neuroscience-based, attachment theory, and solution-focused approaches, we'll explore your relationships, emotions, identity, and purpose in a way that's collaborative from the start. Your plan is built with you, not for you, because your needs, experiences, and goals are the compass for everything we do together. Authentic and curious by nature, I believe that all parts of a person are worth examining and none of them are broken. That conviction shows up in every session. My path to becoming a therapist began in grief counseling and restorative justice intervention, where I witnessed firsthand how much a genuine human connection could change someone's trajectory. That experience deepened my commitment to relationship-centered care, where the therapeutic connection itself is part of the healing process. More than 10 years of advanced training from CU Boulder and Northwestern University ground my clinical practice, but what I bring to the work goes beyond a résumé: vulnerable humanity, genuine curiosity, and the occasional well-timed laugh. Outside of sessions, you'll find me in the boxing gym, tending to my aquariums, or playing percussion in bluegrass and folk music. These pursuits keep me grounded, present, and endlessly curious, qualities I carry into every session with you.

I’m Rachel, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My goal is to create a safe and empowering space for my clients because our teenage and young adult years can be stressful and overwhelming to navigate with all of the different life changes that continue to happen. As we continue to grow as individuals, we are constantly trying to identify and discover who we are and who we want to be. This no longer has to be a process that you work at alone. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life-transitions, trauma, and relationships. I help teenagers, young adults, and adults learn to manage and understand difficult emotions, establish boundaries, and feel confident in their life goals. We will work as a team to learn new and healthy habits, as well as ways to create a life worth living. You deserve to enjoy your life! It can be difficult to take the next step, but when you are ready, please reach out via phone or email, and I would be happy to schedule a consult.

As a former NCAA Division I athlete, I offer a unique perspective in supporting individuals, including athletes navigating both mental health and performance-related challenges. This perspective was built upon my own experience in seeking help for challenges as a college athlete, including anxiety and burnout after an injury, one that deepened my commitment to providing the unconditional, nonjudgmental care everyone deserves. In my practice now, I remain dedicated to bringing warmth, kindness, and understanding to each session, creating a space where you can explore and grow at your own pace. Staying active is important for the mind, body, and soul, whether I’m in or out of the office. When I’m not working, you’ll most often find me out on a run, spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and searching for the perfect cup of coffee.

My work as a clinical social work student intern centers on helping adults and youth develop tools for managing stress and anxiety, improve emotional regulation, build self-esteem, and navigate life's challenges, such as supporting patients through grief and loss, including pet loss. As a queer woman, I am deeply passionate about providing affirming and supportive care for LGBTQ+ individuals, and I strive to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported in every conversation. I believe meaningful connection is at the heart of our well-being, and look forward to partnering with you to better understand your experiences, recognize your strengths, and navigate life's challenges together. Through our work together, my hope is that you feel empowered to better understand yourself, embrace your authentic self, and create a greater sense of connection in your life. My approach to care is rooted in a person-in-environment, trauma-informed lens, recognizing that every person is affected by the broader systems around them, including our relationships, communities, and the systems we're part of. I believe we must address these external impacts while also navigating our internal processes. Together, we’ll identify the unique stressors affecting your well-being and develop practical coping skills that support your personal growth. In our sessions, you can expect a safe, encouraging, and nonjudgmental environment. I incorporate concepts from various modalities, including Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), animal-related engagement, motivational interviewing, and expressive art techniques, tailoring each session to fit your needs and meet you where you are on your journey. The human-animal bond is something I deeply value and, when meaningful to you, I enjoy incorporating concepts related to animals and nature into our work together. My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep love and passion for animals and their human companions. As a registered veterinary technician for more than 10 years, I supported individuals and families through many of life's emotional challenges, including navigating difficult decisions, grief, and loss. These experiences helped me recognize a desire to support not only the animals in my care, but also the people who love them, which ultimately led me to pursue clinical social work and deepen my ability to support the mental and emotional well-being of my community. My personal experiences with therapy also shaped the therapist I hope to become, giving me a deep sense of curiosity, compassion, and empathy for those navigating difficult times. This compassion for all living beings carries into my therapeutic space, where I value human connection as the foundation of a meaningful therapeutic relationship. During my free time, I enjoy indoor and outdoor rock climbing with my husband, going for long walks while listening to audiobooks, hiking, spending time with friends, reading, and creating art.

The clients who see me, often hate to admit that they have reached a place where you need to ask for help. Normally, they can handle just about anything, but the fights, the disconnection and the wondering how they got here is taking up nearly all of their mental space. They feel like second fiddle in their relationship and they just can't take it anymore. The silence between them feels so loud. They know they need to talk about their feelings, but they aren't sure where to start. They feel alone and confused. This is where I come in. I've been working with individuals & couples since 2015 and I know how to help. While I welcome everyone, I specialize in betrayal recovery, helping couples decide whether they stay or go in their relationship and premarital therapy. I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with my clients. Gottman Method makes sure that you are receiving practical tips and homework on how to take the work home. EFT is experiential couples work that helps the two of you emotionally attune to one another in real time. This approach, empowers my clients to make confident decisions by offering stabilizing, organized, structured work. You don't have to suffer alone. Reach out! I offer free consultations to all potential clients.

Do you feel worried or insecure, overwhelmed or numb? Do you feel scared or anxious about social interactions or events happening in the world? Are you struggling to feel able to navigate transitions and stressors that you are facing in life and school? I want you to know that you are not alone in how you are feeling and that I genuinely believe you can find connection, calm, and confidence through engaging in therapy. I also want you to know that I have faced similar challenges to the ones above and have found great healing through interventions that I offer in my therapy practice. My approach in therapy is to constantly be aware of the "whole picture" that impacts each person (oppressive systems, laws, history, world events, family systems, education systems, and relational interactions) while also focusing on the "here and now" of what you are experiencing. The majority of sessions with me are outdoors, in public parks and on trails, to encourage re-connecting to yourself and to the natural world. I also offer sessions indoors and online when the weather does not allow us to be outdoors safely. I am an active participant in each session, whether I am listening, guiding a mindfulness or experiential activity, or being with you in the emotions and experiences that are coming up. My hope is that through our work together, you will be able to re-connect to yourself, find grounding and a sense of peace by connecting to nature, and learn concrete tools and practices that help make navigating daily life more manageable. I recognize that this work can be difficult, takes time, and does not have a clear map. I believe in walking through the journey together, wherever it may lead, with curiosity and empathy along the way.

I utilize approaches like EMDR, Gestalt Therapy, DBT, and mindfulness practices to deliver evidence-based, experiential treatment In time, the commitment and work we do will be an immeasurable gift that will have long reaching impacts you may not even know are possible.
