With over 10 years of experience, she has supported children, adults, and families as they navigate the complexities of healing and reconnect with their sense of safety, resilience, and inner strength. Her background includes extensive work in developmental trauma, sexual assault, and the impacts of interpersonal violence on individuals and their loved ones.

Rachael brings a gentle, empathic presence to therapy and strives to create a secure, grounded environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves.
