Hi! I’m Rachel.

I’m glad you found your way here.

I am the Clinical Director, owner, and a fellow therapist of Olive Branch Counseling, a group practice here in Tucson, Arizona. I come equipped with sarcasm, cursey words and humor - you’ll find that our team is equally spicy.

As an AuDHD mom, my life is often loud, overwhelming, chaotic, and overstimulating (if you know, you know). Because therapy has been such a meaningful source of support in my own life, I’m deeply passionate about helping others who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. I created Olive Branch Counseling alongside like-minded clinicians who share a commitment to neuroaffirming, compassionate care.

We are here to connect to you with an open and honest heart because knowing and witnessing your therapist as a human first is key to feeling safe, and in that safety, acceptance and self-compassion can thrive.

Schedule an initial evaluation or a free 15-minute phone consultation with our team.

Neurodivergence refers to the natural variation in how people think, process information, and experience the world. Olive Branch Counseling primarily focuses on support with ADHD and Autism, which fall under the neurodivergent umbrella. Being neurodivergent comes with certain challenges that might need support to navigate.

In therapy, we honor and support those differences, helping you build a life that fits your needs.

While we specialize in neurodivergence, we offer support in other areas - see below for our other specialties.
