Who am I?
Hello fellow couples counselor and coach! I am Rachael. In the early stages of my career, armed with a degree in marriage and family counseling, I eagerly stepped into the intricate world of couples therapy during graduate school and beyond. The reality hit hard—my academic knowledge was no match for the complexities of real-world sessions. Couples challenged me, pushing my limits and revealing the gaps in my practical experience. Acknowledging the need for a rapid transformation, I embarked on an intense journey of self-improvement.
I committed wholeheartedly, investing heavily in counseling trainings, seeking guidance from business and couples coaches, and immersing myself in both live and online training. Countless hours were devoted to one-on-one and group supervision, and the breakthroughs began. Through dedication and perseverance, I evolved from a novice in the field to a seasoned professional. Now, I bring this wealth of experience to guide you through your own transformative journey in couples counseling. I'm excited to begin this journey with you!
