Rachel is one the best providers I've ever had! She makes me comfortable to talk about my mental health and what's really going on in my head. Working with her helped me let go of the shame of taking medication. I'm so proud of how far I've come!! Something about the art work in her office also makes it feel very safe and inviting. Thank you Rachel!
