Rachel loves getting to work with the children, teenagers, and adults who walk through our doors at Turning Leaf Counseling and Education Center.

She recognizes the myriad of challenges the young people face growing up in a world that seems ever-changing and desires to help equip them with the tools they need to step into adulthood with confidence.
