Rachel Payne
PMHNP-BC
Professional Bio:​
"I’m deeply inspired by the work of Dr. Brené Brown, especially her research on shame, vulnerability, and wholehearted living. Her insights remind me daily of the power of showing up as our authentic selves—messy, human, and brave. That same mindset shapes the way I connect with my clients: with honesty, compassion, and respect for each person’s unique path."
Personal Bio:
"Outside of my work, I’m also a parent, nature-lover, and lifelong learner. I treasure time with my child—especially cheering from the sidelines at the baseball field, sharing post-game laughs, or simply enjoying the everyday moments that matter most."
