Rachel Vendsel, MAR, LPC, EMDR Certified Therapist, CIT
clinically sound,
trauma-informed,
Biblically grounded
Christian therapy.
Specialist in OCD and trauma.
To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known but not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything.It liberates us from pretense, humbles us, and strengthens us for any difficulty life can throw at us."
--Tim Keller
