Therapy for Modern Women
In a world that values quick fixes and instant-gratification above all else, making the choice to pursue therapy is a radical act of self-love.
- Are you burned out from the impossible pursuit of perfection?
- Does everyone think you "have it all," but you feel like a fraud?
- Do you worry about being liked so much that you ignore your own needs?
- Are you exhausted from "masking" your true self?
- Is your chronic pain or anxiety increasing and leaving you drained and fatigued?
Your pain is real. I help anxiety prone women stop doubting themselves so they can start living by their own rules instead of everyone else's. I have a particular interest in working with late or self diagnosed neurodivergent women and chronic illness sufferers. I can help you define your needs, hear your own voice, and remind you that rest and pleasure are worthy endeavors. Therapy with me might be helpful if you've tried all the "self care," but are still wondering why things seem so hard. Let's see who you are without the mask. You don't need to be cured, you need to be understood.
Let's get to work.

Hi, I’m Rachel. I help women of all backgrounds and neurotypes realize their full potential through my practical therapeutic sensibility. I am neurodivergent as well as a chronic illness sufferer and I know what it's like to navigate the world with ailments that are invisible to others. Counseling was not my first career (or even my second), but as I grew to accept my strengths and limitations instead of trying to fit in, I finally found where I belong.
By now you’ve seen all of the letters that come after my name. Those are hard-won, but not the most important piece of our potential journey together. I have over a decade of experience in mental health and am always striving to learn and grow and recently became a certified neurodivergent affirming therapist through Cascadia training. My true passion is seeing my clients start to live by their own rules and expectations . And maybe dismantling the patriarchy while we’re at it.
