About Rachel
I am licensed in Texas with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have helped clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I am especially passionate about treating people who have experienced trauma (however large or small), and I use a combination of somatic healing and cognitive-based healing to address both our thoughts and our nervous system’s response to trauma. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have experience working in private practice, virtual intensive outpatient therapy, prison and jail settings, and with sex offender treatment. I enjoy getting creative with clients to help them identify coping strategies, calming methods, and problem solving solutions that work for them as individuals. I approach each new client with a non-judgmental mindset and focus on creating a trusting relationship where growth can occur organically. It is important to me that clients feel engaged in and a vital part of their treatment, after all, you are the expert in your own life! It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

But therapy has been so much more than that for me- it’s given me a fresh start and a chance to re-program my mind to live my best life and to appreciate who I am for the first time in my life. <br /> <br /> Rachel has helped me get back on my feet, and I can’t recommend her enough. She listens so well, is a shoulder to lean on, and gives me tools and resources to get better. I feel so seen when I talk to her, and I love how she checks in on me even after our sessions. Rachel has seriously changed my life, and I’ve only met with her twice. My husband has even noticed a significant difference in me, in my peace, and in my joy. Thank you BetterHelp for helping me turn my life around.”
