Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Rachel
Life can be so hard. I know that it takes great courage to ask for help. I consider it one of the greatest honors of my life to be able to walk alongside people in the midst of their struggles through the field of counseling. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Professional Counseling at Liberty University. I spent 5 years counseling college students surrounding numerous struggles. I have counseled in two private practice settings since and offered Telehealth appointments as well. I have over 3000 clinical face-to-face hours counseling people in need. I have helped clients with Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Family Trauma, Spiritual Concerns, Adjustment Disorders, and Relationship Conflict.
We are storied individuals, and I approach therapy with great curiosity and care for each person. I typically include a combination of Attachment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to enter into client’s story. I assess the depth of pain and impact the client’s history has had on one’s current affect, thought processes, and relationships. I then utilize various tools to help clients continue to move forward in forming healthier behaviors, emotional responses, self-talk, and relationships. My goal is to empower the client to make decisions that lead to a hope filled future and become confident in continuing the healing work in their own story.

What clients say
- “Rachel is the best!”
- “She always makes me feel like everything is going to be ok!”
- “Rachel is fantastic. There are not enough positive adjectives for me to use to describe how much she has helped me in the few months we've been meeting. She is extremely smart/knowledgable, professional and eager to help. She asks all the right questions and provides a very comfortable space for us to explore the topics we need to. I appreciate her more than I can say.”
