I'm a licensed therapist in Texas with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns, helping them build resilience and find their way forward.
My approach is grounded in compassion and understanding. I specialize in supporting clients with trauma and abuse recovery, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress, and grief and loss. I also work with individuals exploring identity, relationships, sexuality, and life purpose—including concerns around attachment, codependency, communication, and body image.
I'm particularly drawn to supporting women through life transitions, family-of-origin work, and the complex emotions that arise from divorce, isolation, and feelings of shame or guilt. Whether you're processing sexual assault, navigating caregiver stress, or working through impulsivity and mood challenges, I'm here to help you move toward healing and self-compassion.
My therapeutic style is person-centered and trauma-informed. I believe in meeting you where you are, without judgment, and creating space for authentic exploration of your experiences. I'm committed to supporting your growth at your own pace, drawing on evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Rachel allows me to feel comfortable and she is someone that is not in awe of me and also does not condescend.

Rachel has very quickly become an important sparkle in my life. Speaking to her is like speaking to a friend. I highly recommend her.

Rachel is so great and supportive. I love that she doesn't make therapy so formal. I have room to be as casual and blunt as I want and we explore areas that I want to work on that day. She is just amazing over all.

Rachel has been an incredible therapist. She allows me to speak my mind freely and guides me to core problems, while giving me practical strategies, anecdotes, homework (per my request) to drive home what I need to heal, and her professional opinions. As far as therapists go, Rachel has set the bar for me. I look forward to each of our therapy sessions and I feel that I’m making progress overall. This is the best I’ve felt in a long time, and I feel like I’m evolving into a better person. All my thanks to you, Rachel!
