Get to Know Rachel:

 

Why did you become a mental health professional?

I began advocating for the importance of mental health from my teenage years. After receiving my bachelor degree, I spent a few years working in childcare on a military base. Seeing the  variety of moves, life events, and stressors experienced by military children inspired me to focus on work with children in adjusting to changes that they don’t always make sense to them.

​
What are your interests outside of work?

Outside of work, I enjoy crafting, gaming, reading, spending time with friends and family, and
traveling.
