More About Rachel
I work with both individuals and couples to explore and navigate the suffering, challenges, opportunities, and beauty that are part of the human condition. I invite you to show up as you are. There is no preparation for you to do. Whether this is your first time in therapy, whether you’re entering this process with a partner(s) or independently, my goal is to provide a safe space, free of judgment, for you to exhale and get present.
My approach is influenced and informed by humanistic psychology, existentialism, and depth psychology. My therapeutic orientation means we’ll likely explore layers beneath the surface – uncovering unconscious patterns that shape your experience, value systems, and purpose.
For couples, my approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. EFT focuses on the attachment bond between partners, fostering deeper understanding and security, whilst the Gottman Method equips us with practical strategies to navigate conflict and build intimacy.
As a therapist, I strive to provide trauma-informed and identity-affirming care that respects and validates your lived experience, and acknowledges the profound impact of past experiences on present well-being. I believe in the power and potential of a genuine therapeutic relationship, and as such, am committed to making this a space where you feel championed and empowered to grow and heal at your own pace.
I was born and raised in Ireland. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Trinity College Dublin, and a Masters degree from University College London. I’ve lived in Paris, London, San Francisco and Vancouver, and have called Seattle home for the past 4 years. I’ve worked in tech for almost a decade, and my decision to return to graduate school was based on my deep belief that this world needs more safe containers that allow people to process pain, to be seen and heard, and to go deeper.
Outside of work you’ll find me backpacking, doing tarot readings, at soundbaths around the city, or introverting with a book.

Why see an Intern?
Feeling the need to see a therapist, but the cost is prohibitive? Do you wish you could see a mental health professional in a comfortable setting? Anchor Light Therapy Collective’s internship program makes mental healthcare more accessible to all members of the community. It also provides mentorship and supervision for the next generation of therapists.
Things to keep in mind when scheduling with interns:
- Scheduling a consultation with one of our interns allows you to have a 20 minute conversation with them to make sure they are a good match, in order to achieve your therapy goals
- Intern therapy sessions are not infinite. These students will complete their internship after 1 year
- Interns are supervised by licensed clinicians. They may consult with these supervisors, who may then review your therapy notes
- Interns cannot bill insurance for therapy sessions. Therefore, if you would like to bill your out-of-network benefits for services please schedule a consultation with our licensed thereapists.
How much does Intern Therapy cost?
Intern Therapy sessions cost $70 and are 50 minutes long.
Individual therapy sessions with a licensed Anchor Light Therapist cost $190 and are 50 minutes long.
