LPC-Associate, supervised by Stephanie Hooton, MA, NCC, LPC-S

Life is often hard, sometimes very hard. Stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, and major life changes can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. Reaching out for support isn’t always easy and can feel intimidating, but my goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing your story, and working through whatever life is bringing your way. 

I don’t view counseling as having all the answers or fixing everything that’s wrong. It’s about gaining insight, learning new skills, and finding a path forward that feels right for you. My role is to meet you where you are, offer support and encouragement, and help you work toward the goals that matter most to you in ways that make sense for you and your life. 

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and parents who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, school-related concerns, relationship challenges, and the everyday challenges that can sometimes feel like too much to carry alone. 

As a school counselor and LPC-Associate, I have experience supporting children, teens, and families through academic, social, emotional, and behavioral concerns. As a parent who has also experienced significant loss, I understand that grief doesn’t just affect one person; it impacts entire families. That personal experience, combined with my work in education, has deepened my understanding of the challenges young people face and the importance of supportive relationships during difficult seasons. 

Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply need a place to process what’s going on in your life, you don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you figure out what comes next.

Rachel’s rate is $125 per session.
