Board-Approved Supervisor with over 10 years of clinical experience helping in outpatient, community, crisis stabilization, behavioral hospital, school and University settings
I provide supervision for Residents in Counseling and LMFT Residents, offering a supportive and collaborative space to build clinical confidence, sharpen skills, and develop professional identity. My goal is to help new and emerging clinicians navigate challenges with confidence and clarity.
In my clinical work, I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, and women’s wellness. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities including Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions.
Whether you are seeking supervision, consultation, or guidance in your professional journey, I strive to create a safe, encouraging, and growth-oriented environment—one where you feel supported as both a clinician and a person.
My mission is to empower emerging and licensed clinicians to grow with confidence, competence, and compassion by providing supportive, evidence-based supervision and mentorship.
I am committed to fostering a safe, collaborative, and reflective space where clinicians can develop clinical skills, navigate professional challenges, and cultivate their unique therapeutic voice while promoting healing and resilience in the clients they serve.

Supervision begins with structured, skill-focused guidance for emerging clinicians.
Clinicians develop confidence, self-awareness, and authenticity through collaborative learning.
Supervisees refine their professional identity and prepare to thrive as compassionate, confident practitioners.

I have consulted with Racheal on numerous clinically complex cases, and her contributions have consistently been thoughtful, constructive, and invaluable. She demonstrates exceptional clinical expertise rooted in evidence-based strategies such as CBT, EMDR, ACT, and other modalities. In addition, her experience across diverse populations and settings, from residential treatment centers to private practice and in-home crisis, gives her a deep understanding of the real-life challenges clinicians face, making her consultations both relevant and respectful. My experience has been that she approaches each consultation with empathy and curiosity, fostering a collaborative environment where growth and learning are encouraged. Even as an experienced clinician, I walk away from our consultations with new insights, practical tools, and a renewed sense of confidence. Racheal’s guidance has been instrumental in guiding the delivery of personalized, ethically grounded, and research-backed treatment for clients with challenging cases, always contributing a fresh perspective and clinical creativity.
