Get design psychology strategies that brings out the best in you, the people you love, and the spaces you inhabit.
Our homes are reflections for greater health and well being. Furthermore, remodeling can wreak havoc on a relationship, both your intimate partnership as well as between your team. So if there’s conflict brewing in your intimate partnership around cohabitation, you have a child suffering from attentional difficulties or you’re experiencing general stuckness, malaise, or emotional distress, psychitecture can provide the right tools and blueprint to not only ease these symptoms but help you actualize your potential and reach your life goals.
Psychitecture consulting services can both mediate to support relationships in the home and design team while implementing design solutions to enhance the living environment.
We create a wellness aesthetic based upon:
Environmental design strategies including not limited to: Biophilia, Color Science, Neuroscience, Ergonomics, Proxemics, Wayfinding in addition to design concepts including and not limited to: Wabi-Sabi, Japandi, and Hygee.
Enroll a psychitect, and here’s what you can expect:
- Enliven your space, enliven your life. When we feel enlivened by our spaces, we live more artful, creative lives—the kinds of lives we’ve been dreaming of, and feel the satisfaction, accomplishment and joy we all really crave.
- Increase presence, connection to spirit and sense of self. Modern life is busy life, and caught up and overwhelmed by our habitual life patterns, and blinded by life stressors to realize we can live in a way that maintains and deepens our connection to self.
- Create an environment that supports harmonious relationships. When we’re given the tools to cohabitate and live together in a healthy way, the conflict in our relationships naturally decreases. Spaces designed with intention lead to intentional support in the health of our relationships
- Create sensory spaces for inattentiveness, stress, and sadness. Drawing from design psychology concepts of color theory, ergonomics, proxemics and environmental psychology, we use trauma and evidence-based research on sensory integration to regulate emotions through specific design choices.
- Promote creativity, productivity, and wellness, actualize your potential. Limited beliefs and outlets. Overwhelmed. Living in a trauma lineage. Break the cycle and habitual patterns both in your psyche and space.
Our inner worlds are reflected in our outer environments—if we’re unconscious in how we live, it’s reflected in our space.
Set you and your family up for success in your home.
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 up 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.

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.
