Rachel is a licensed professional counselor in Arkansas with a Master of Science and Education Specialist degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her therapeutic philosophy centers on embracing individual strengths and supporting people in living meaningful, authentic lives. She works primarily with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, and symptoms related to neurodivergence (including ADHD and Autism), guiding them toward personal growth, self-understanding, and emotional well-being.

​

A core part of Rachel’s practice includes nature-based therapy, walk-and-talk sessions, and climbing therapy. She believes healing happens not only in the therapy room, but also through movement, connection to the outdoors, and somatic engagement. Whether on a wooded trail or a climbing wall, these experiential approaches help clients regulate, reflect, and deepen their self-awareness in powerful, embodied ways.

​

Rachel takes a laid back, non-judgmental, and relational approach to therapy. She creates a warm and inclusive space where clients can safely explore their inner world, reflect on behavior patterns, and reimagine how they relate to themselves and others. She brings a holistic lens to her work and is experienced with a wide range of therapeutic goals, diagnoses, and demographics.

​

She holds a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification and has received specialized training in trauma-informed care, psychodynamic theory, adventure therapy, and clinical rock climbing therapy.

​

In graduate school, Rachel served as the assistant editor-in-chief of the Journal of Graduate Education Research and was a member of Chi Sigma Iota, the international counseling honors society. She holds a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy from the University of Arkansas, where she conducted research in neuroscience and social psychology and published original research on the intersections of diet and mental health.
