About

Your Well-Being Matters

At some point, many of us lose touch with who we truly are — often through painful experiences, overwhelming expectations, or relationship patterns that ask us to shrink or disconnect. Healing from these experiences is possible, and it starts with reconnecting to yourself. In our work together, you’ll learn grounding tools to calm your nervous system, strengthen your relationships through more authentic connection, and build a sense of safety and steadiness within yourself, even when life feels uncertain. I combine modern therapies and science — including ACT, EMDR, and positive psychology — with age-old wisdom from philosophy, such as Stoicism, and spiritual traditions. Together, we’ll work to soften self-criticism, shift unhelpful patterns, and support meaningful, lasting change that helps you live a more aligned and fulfilling life. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to reach out and see if we’re a good fit.

Testimonials

“Rachael has a very warm and gentle presence and clients I have referred to her rave about their experiences with her. Highly recommended”

- Rachel Kokichi-Burnley LMFT, CSAT

“Your help was perfect! Thanks for helping me make myself a priority again. It's not just helped me but it's helped my family too!”

- Julia P, past client

“Rachael didn't fix me or tell me what to do — she listened, gently pushed back, and helped me see what was actually going on underneath the noise. Days later, I had the most honest conversation I've ever had with my sister — one I never thought was possible.”

Zane F., current client
