More about Rachael
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I believe strongly in the dignity and worth of all people, and that living an authentic life is essential to personal happiness and harmony. I am dedicated to social justice, both broadly and within psychotherapy and social work practice. I take a holistic view of mental health, valuing the relationships between the physical and mental, the personal and environmental, and how our histories, stories, and identity formation shape our perspectives. I see therapy as a collaboration between the client’s expertise in themselves and the therapist’s role in supporting insight, growth, and skill building.
