Hi. I’m Rachel.

I want to start by congratulating you. In a world where asking for help isn’t always encouraged, it can be difficult to take the first step. This is a big deal. Take a minute to celebrate yourself. It’s not easy to entrust a total stranger with your inner thoughts and experiences.

A little about me; I’m your typical millennial and Austinite. I have numerous tattoos. I have shaved my head on a whim. I curse a fair amount. I believe there is a meme for everything. Apologies to my mom, but she’s only getting grand-dogs.

In my opinion, your productivity doesn’t determine your worth.

I value authenticity and transparency.

I’m a mental health advocate working to break the stigma around going to therapy.

I believe in a life based on experiences and contentment, not things and consumption.

Helping people is my passion. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients, hearing their stories, and being a part of their therapy process. I am personable, genuine, and laid-back and my warm personality makes me easy to talk to. I’m not afraid to talk about the hard or awkward stuff. Judgment has no place in therapy. Period.

Therapy shouldn’t feel like a stale clinical experience. There shouldn’t be strict rules and structures. Therapy is your time to talk about whatever you want. Therapy with me will probably look and feel like a laid-back conversation, but it’s all about you. I like to think of therapy in terms of a puzzle - We’ll look at all the individual pieces of your life and one by one, I’ll help you put the pieces together.
