Rachel’s Bio

Hi! My name is Rachel, and I provide Life Coaching for women. I’m passionate about helping women make healthy lifestyle changes, process big decisions, and deepen in faith. I’ve worked with a wide variety of women, including wives of business leaders, college students, widows, health professionals, and women in ministry. My husband, Mark, founded Lion Counseling to help high-achieving men work break free of the barriers that hold them back and achieve their goals. We soon discovered that many women resonated with our mission as well, and I’m happy to help fill this need by helping these women also discover the freedom and breakthroughs God intended for them.

My Approach

In sessions, I use compassion, humor, and a powerful technique called Motivational Interviewing, which helps women achieve their goals. I also utilize the ground-breaking work of Dr. Stephen Porges, pioneer of the Polyvagal Theory. Trained in his “Safe and Sound” protocol, I can use this intervention to help my clients better regulate their emotions and navigate difficult transitions.

Finally, I draw on Christ as the ultimate source of hope and healing, understanding that a life of faith is messy and full of ups and downs. In sessions, I am happy to explore matters of faith, discuss scripture, and pray with you if this is something you want. But, regardless of your spiritual beliefs, I will strive to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, meeting you where you’re at on the journey.

I understand that healing comes through the courage to be vulnerable and face hard things. In my own life I’ve had seasons of doubt, experienced grief and loss, and know that life can sometimes be really hard. I want you to know that you can be real in my office, and if given the opportunity, I would be honored to work with you.
