Rachel Wood
RACHEL WOOD loves providing pastoral counseling that connects people to Jesus in the particularities of their lives. She believes that our stories, relationships, bodies, emotions, and faith are deeply connected, and she offers a compassionate, Christ-centered space for people to bring both their struggles and their hopes.
Rachel especially enjoys working with those in ministry, third-culture kids (TCKs), and anyone seeking spiritual support. She brings pastoral compassion to those navigating singleness, shame, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, pregnancy and postpartum, and their relationship with their bodies. She considers it a privilege to sit with people in difficult seasons and help them discern where God may be inviting them in the midst of their stories.
Rachel is a certified PREPARE/ENRICH facilitator for premarital and marital counseling and has completed the Externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with a Created for Connection focus.
Before joining Daymark, Rachel interned at Grace Fellowship, where she now serves as Deacon of Spiritual Formation. Having grown up on the mission field, she has extensive cross-cultural experience and a particular appreciation for the joys, complexities, and questions that can come with living between cultures.
Rachel has been married to David since 2018, and they have two sons.
