Rachel
knows the concerns of front-line staff in managing our own mental
health. Through her years of intake and emergency services on-call she
has helped our neighbors through some of their most vulnerable moments
in mental health crisis and addiction. She has used what she learned in
formal trainings as well as trial and error to help our community
members find stability. This experience has informed her experience as
the Director of Behavioral Health Services in that she’s not just a
stuffed shirt (or dress) but still a boots-on-the-ground
provider. Before coming to JAMHI in fall 2010, Rachel worked in
Anchorage and Craig providing complete comprehensive psychosocial
assessments, treatment planning, and group therapy to adults and
children. In her free time (and when it’s not a pandemic), Rachel enjoys
volunteering in the Travel Juneau kiosk; writing snail mail letters to
pen pals, working part-time giving food tours in the summer and taking
food tours wherever she travels.
