Clients I Work With
Hi there! I'm Rachel, and I specialize in supporting children, teens and young adults who are navigating mood and anxiety, identity, OCD and eating disorders. I recognize that healing does not take place in a vacuum, and I believe family or community engagement is a critical part of facilitating meaningful change for an individual. In addition to individual work, I often meet with the parents or caregivers of young people to promote growth and healing within the family system. You and your loved ones deserve a nonjudgmental space where you can show up fully, explore your identity, strengths and challenges, and above all, be seen and validated.
Approach
I am relational, curious and warm in my approach, and I use direct communication and gentle humor to allow room for authentic connection. I love finding creative approaches to unique challenges, and deeply value flexibility and accessibility in therapy. One of the ways I promote this is by offering flexibility in session location: we can meet in my office, your home, the wider community or the many parks and outdoor spaces in and around Denver.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
I approach therapy through a social justice lens, and see people as deeply shaped by the many systems, relationships and environments in our lives. As someone with extensive experience working in all levels of care, I have seen how disorienting it can be coming back into the chaos of life after discharge from inpatient, PHP or IOP. Sometimes it feels like the rug was pulled out from beneath you, and going from daily therapy to weekly therapy is not enough support. Sometimes the transition is a relief, but you have all these complicated feelings about treatment that you need to process.
Going to a higher level of care is often traumatic in itself, and I believe it is crucial to have continuing support. I offer higher session frequency if you need to start at 2-3x/weekly before easing into weekly or bi-weekly sessions.
More About My Practice
Outside of sessions, I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, climbing and camping. I love a good road trip playlist, sharing food with friends and family, and movie nights with my exceptionally cuddly cat. Above all, my hope is that sessions will leave you with a feeling of genuine connection.
