Over time, even overwhelmed clients begin to exhale.
Rachel integrates several trauma-focused modalities into her work. Her primary focus is Deep Brain Reorienting. DBR helps clients access core emotional pain safely. This may include humiliation, abandonment, rage, or terror. DBR allows processing without retraumatization. It works well for early attachment wounds. It also addresses somatic shock that lingers in the body. Rachel also uses Trauma Model Therapy in sessions. This approach clarifies how trauma shaped beliefs and behaviors. In addition, she integrates Ego State Therapy. EST helps clients explore inner parts with compassion. Through this work, clients build insight and integration.

Rachel’s beloved therapy dog, Henry, is a gentle giant in the room. He offers a grounding and steady presence during sessions. Clients often feel comfort in his quiet companionship. He brings emotional warmth and added safety into the space. Sometimes he curls up beside you on the couch. Other times he rests nearby on his dog bed. Even his calm presence can help settle the nervous system. For many clients, Henry becomes a trusted co-regulator. He offers a felt reminder that connection can be safe. He also reminds clients that soothing support can feel real and steady.
When Rachel isn’t seeing clients, she is working on building Joshua Tree, learning about DBR, growing closer to Jesus, reading, or out walking in the sunshine with Henry. Rachel loves bookstores; her favorite novel is Jane Eyre; and she is an Enneagram 5w4. Her soul country is Ireland but she is a desert girl through and through. Someday, she hopes to get her PhD (if she can settle on what to get it in) and to write a book.
