Let me be your grad school guide!
Calling all therapy grad school applicants!
Are you ready to blow the interview out of the water?
Are you ready to get into your dream school without having to research for hours about how to stand out?
Stuck spinning your wheels on your resume and CV instead of going after your goals?
If this is you, think of me as your grad school guide!
It’s my passion to help you ace your interviews and perfect your personal statement so you can get into your dream program. Future therapists, let’s get you into graduate school!
Major truth bomb: Not everyone who applies to a program gets accepted!
I applied to a social work program and wasn’t accepted due to a lack of experience in the field. I became more motivated to gain the experience and get into a program the next time I applied. I set off to Montana to work at a therapeutic boarding school for troubled teens. I received valuable training in how to help future clients with emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.
From my training and experience, the grad school panel realized that I had the skills to take on therapy clients and stay organized to excel in my classes. Also, with my training with the university career center, I successfully learned the ins and outs of resumes, cover letters, CVs, and interview prep to present yourself in a professional way.

So, you’ve got questions for me…
PAST MENTEES HAVE ASKED ME THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
Why would I work with a mentor when I can do the research on my own?
Sure, you can research on your own. But it’s a lot easier with someone that’s been through this already and it’s a lot less lonely. Don’t forget how important accountability is when you’ve got deadlines coming up.
Am I really going to feel supported by someone I don’t know?
Absolutely! I’m a therapist, I know how to make people feel comfortable and I love humor.
Will I really be able to make my resume and application stand out to the panel?
Yep, I’ve got training from University level Career Services to highlight your strengths and help you shine.
Work with a mentor who has been through it all!

Rachel has been a huge help to me as I navigate everything from taking the GRE to applying for graduate schools! Her advice has steered me in the right direction and given me confidence to pursue my dream of becoming a Licensed Counselor. She’s extremely compassionate and knowledgeable making her someone I have been able to depend on during this stressful, often confusing journey! With her guidance, I applied to the University of North Georgia, and I just received an invitation for an interview! Thank you so much Rachel!
I cannot recommend Rachel enough for anyone applying to graduate school in the field of counseling or therapy. Rachel has been a tremendous asset to me by helping me create a professional resume, formulate and edit my personal statement, and by answering my numerous questions about the application and interview process. With Rachel’s incredible help, I have felt confident and knowledgeable throughout my application cycle and am excited for my future in the field of therapy.
I contacted Rachel for mentoring before my matriculation into graduate school and she was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and eager to help. She answered all my questions thoroughly and gave me great tips on how to transition. She definitely eased my anxieties about taking that next step towards my career and keeping balance in my life. She provided me with links that will help prepare and guide me through the process as well. I look forward to keeping in touch with her.
