People I work with come to me feeling stuck - second-guessing every decision, replaying conversations in their heads, or feeling like they’ve lost touch with the version of themselves they want to be.

My style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that connection is one of the most powerful tools for healing. ...

You’re the overachiever, the strong one, the one who puts out fires, and keeps going in a crisis. Maybe you’re even more comfortable in a crisis than those quiet moments in between. Trauma can do that. It rewires our brain for survival so the crisis is when we best perform. But crisis mode, PTSD, it doesn’t work well for everything else. It can show up as constant exhaustion, anxiety spirals, difficulty finding joy, or just not feeling like yourself. Therapy is a space for you to prioritize y...

Hello, I'm Rachel. We've all heard the saying 'things happen for a reason' and 'you wouldn't be who you are today if that didn't happen.' While there may be some truth to those, that doesn't mean we have to let them define us.
