About Me
My Journey
From a childhood shaped by community and connection, to finding my calling in trauma therapy.
My interest in working with people and the honest, often messy parts of life, started in childhood. I grew up watching my dad lead a church full of people from all walks of life, and I learned about grief, love, trauma, and everything in between just by being around that community. That upbringing sparked a desire to understand people deeply and make a real difference in their lives.
It took me a long and winding journey to find the right path. I spent years working in retail and hospitality, experiencing plenty of life along the way — my own traumas, heartbreaks, and dysregulations included. After a particularly painful breakup, I decided to start therapy myself, and that's when everything clicked. For the first time, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
Not long after, I enrolled on the closest counselling course I could find and four years later in 2022, I graduated with my diploma and opened the private practice I now run full-time. Since then, my work has continued to grow in ways I couldn't have imagined — extending through social media, my podcast Rachel & Co, and my upcoming book The Core Journey.
"I try my best to practice what I preach, but I'm human like everyone else. Sometimes old patterns show up or overwhelm creeps in, and that's okay — I do my best to meet those moments with compassion and give myself the space I need."
Outside of work, I share life with my dog, Luna (who you might occasionally hear in the background of online sessions). I love being in nature, spending time with friends and family, and my faith plays a deeply grounding role in my life. Music is also a huge part of my self-care — concerts and festivals are where I recharge and reconnect with joy.
