Hello, I’m Rachele. I strive to create a therapy space where people feel supported, can speak honestly, and have room to explore what they want to change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. I welcome difficult conversations and value helping clients find a useful way forward.

I am a second-year Marriage and Family Therapy intern completing my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Seattle Pacific University, alongside a certificate in Medical Family Therapy. My training is grounded in systems therapy and trauma-informed care, with attention to how relationships, emotional well-being, physical health, and spiritual beliefs shape our lives.

Within that foundation, I am especially drawn to solution-focused and narrative therapy. These approaches invite us to notice strengths, explore the stories that shape how we understand ourselves, and identify meaningful steps toward the life and relationships we want. As I develop my style as a therapist, I find myself drawn to straightforward conversation and a practical, collaborative approach. I also understand that each person has their own pace, preferences, and ways of expressing themselves, and it is my job to understand and adapt to yours.

I am especially interested in working with couples and partnerships of all forms, children and teens experiencing anxiety or depression and their families, and individuals or families navigating grief, loss, or medical concerns. I also welcome clients exploring the relational impact of gender-affirming care. When one person is struggling, the effects can reach across relationships, and those relationships can also become sources of support and change.

Before entering the therapy field, I spent many years as a professional artist. Creativity, curiosity, and lived experience continue to shape my work. Therapy can be challenging and uncomfortable, but there is room for humor, connection, and discovery along the way. Together, we can explore what matters to you, what you would like to be different, and work toward your therapy goals at a pace that feels right for you or your family.
