Our Approach: Crafting Wellness Aesthetics
We employ a holistic set of environmental design strategies to create spaces that resonate with your unique needs:
- Biophilic Design: Incorporating natural elements reduces stress, enhances creativity, and improves well-being.
- Color Science: Utilizing color psychology to evoke desired emotions and behaviors.
- Neuroscientific Insights: Designing based on how our brains interact with space, optimizing for comfort and engagement.
- Ergonomic Design: Ensuring physical well-being through tailored spatial arrangements.
- Proxemics: Understanding spatial dynamics to improve interpersonal communication and connection.
In addition to these, we draw on diverse design philosophies, such as Wabi-Sabi, Japandi, and Hygge, to craft spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also deeply nurturing.

How Our Homes Impact Us
We have come to expect so much from our homes. Hybrid work/home living has only added more stress to modern relationships. Working and living in the same space disrupts our boundaries, work productivity and intimate life. If you’re feeling uninspired in your work and romantic life we can change design variables to increase life satisfaction. Being intentional in how you design your space—delineating the limits of your office, creating space for restoration and intimacy, and designing for creativity and productivity—sets you and your family up for success.
Here’s How It Works:
Through a hands-on approach and detailed design plan, a Psychitect can coach you through inner conflict or conflict within the family system or design team to heal relationships and support harmonious living and design results.

About Rachel
Uniquely qualified as a trained psychotherapist and designer, Rachel meets clients in both relational and design needs.
Often referred to as the Marie Kondo of the West, I am the only one in my field trained as both a psychotherapist and designer, focusing on couples, somatic experiencing certified body-oriented stress recovery, and Jungian-certified archetypal methodology of individuation in self-development and expressed imagery in art and design.
Psychitecture was founded as a psychological design consultancy, employing the Psychitecture method that combines design psychological principals such as neuroscience, biophilia, color theory, mindfulness, design with intention, and experience to create spaces that reflect an elevated psychology of well being. Psychitecture also is an intervention where the psychitect mediates conflicts in the design space between couples, families, and collaborators in the design process such as architects, contractors and realtors. I was featured in Dwell Magazine for my Psychitecture services.
