Let’s be honest – life is moving faster and getting more stressful by the minute. The thought of finding the time or motivation to do anything about it, though, is a funny joke. So the cycle continues: you keep going to the same job, staying in the same relationship, and putting up with others' expectations. You're stressed, frustrated, and depressed. You find that your thoughts are distracting you, your body is tense, and you snap at everyone and everything. You can't even catch a decent night's sleep! You sometimes even argue with yourself because you "should" be happy with everything you have. So what gives?
The good news is that things don't have to stay this way. I can help you find yourself again. Together, we can clarify your wants, give you the confidence to pursue them, and strike a meaningful balance of work and play. You’ll feel calm, secure, and powerful again because you’ll be living a life that you truly want, instead of what you “should” want.
Reaching out for help is scary and can feel vulnerable, but it also might be the accountability and support you need right now. Having a good personality fit in therapy is crucial so I invite you to schedule your free phone consultation from my website. I offer all online therapy sessions so we can make change happen at a time that works best for you.

As a provider specializing in adults, I know this is a very busy and exciting time, but it also can be stressful, confusing, and lonely. In sessions, we can talk about interpersonal relationships (i.e. family dynamics, romantic partnerships), identity issues (i.e. diversity, self-confidence), and adulting obstacles (i.e. money management, career selection). Really, anything goes!

Rachel brings warmth, humor, and authenticity into her work. We've collaborated, and I heard a former client speak so highly of their experience, sharing how helpful it was and how supported they felt navigating perfectionism and burnout with her.
