About Rachael

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or emotionally drained? You may be used to being the strong one, the person others depend on, while quietly carrying stress, grief, relationship concerns, workplace pressure, or difficulty setting boundaries without guilt. If you are ready to understand yourself better, break patterns that no longer serve you, and make more room for your own needs, therapy can help you feel more grounded, supported, and confident moving forward.

My approach

I support adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, relationship concerns, life changes, workplace stress, and low self-esteem. Together, we can understand what keeps pulling you into the same patterns, find healthier ways to cope, strengthen boundaries, and feel more confident handling stress and relationships.

About me

If you are tired of carrying everything alone, feeling stuck in the same patterns, or unsure how to make space for yourself, therapy can give you a place to slow down, feel heard, and sort through what has been weighing on you. You deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
