Once completing school, she became a nationally board certified physician assistant and licensed to practice medicine by the North Carolina Medical Board. Rachel relocated to the Charlotte area and started working on an inpatient psychiatric unit. While she enjoyed being a part of the hospital team, Rachel also found she enjoyed practicing on the outpatient unit as she get’s to spend more time building a relationship with each patient. She has experience working with behavioral health patient’s that are inpatient, outpatient, in intensive outpatient programs, and for emergency psychiatric evaluations. As a provider that believes all systems are linked, mentally and physically, she enjoys keeping up-to-date in all areas of medicine.
