Heads up! As a practice, we know it’s important to know all the details about our education and experience. However, we also want to honor our values of authenticity and being humans first. If you are looking for all the formal things, keep scrolling (it’s at the bottom).

MA, Marriage & Family Therapy
I work with my clients to utilize their strengths and to understand and shape the ways in which our past impacts our present experience of ourselves, others and the world around us. This process entails shifting old ways of thinking and coping that are no longer serving us, and re-building the parts of ourselves that have been hurt or silenced. I am passionate about holding space for this process of shifting and re-building to create safer and more meaningful internal and external relationships and experiences.
Colleagues describe me as having a grounding, calming presence.
I take a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy which means I meet my clients where they are to find wellbeing on physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relational levels. I pull from the EMDR and AIR-Network frameworks and narrative, and cognitive behavioral therapies to support my clients in creating safety, acceptance and change.
I enjoy getting outside, traveling, making art and spending time with my dogs. I grew up on the North Shore of Lake Superior and love getting back up there when I can.

I completed my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Saint Mary’s University and am currently working towards licensure. I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), AIR Network (adaptive internal relationships network), and DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy). Rachel is also a 200 hour certified yoga instructor and brings aspects of yoga philosophy into her work with clients.
