Less Distress… ASAP

Maybe you're feeling stuck.

You're a working professional… You're a motivated high achiever, and you're almost definitely "the strong friend." Maybe you're already a mom, or you're thinking about kids in the future.

You aren't doing bad! But you wouldn't say you're doing great, either. And the moments of anxiety and overwhelm are coming just a little more often than you'd like.

It's starting to feel like your anxiety, your negative thoughts, and your trusty, well-worn behavior patterns are getting in the way of that elusive thing called "your best life."

You're looking for a space to process your experiences and—most of all—learn to manage. Because you know a mental health challenge doesn't have to define you…

And you don't plan to let it.

You're Not Weird (I Promise)

If you told me that you…:

01
Often find yourself stuck in a cycle of anxiety and flat-out worry about the future;
02
Spiral into self-doubt on a regular basis;
03
Feel like you could be a contortionist with the amount of time you spend bending over backward to meet everyone else's needs (while ignoring your own);
04
Have a serious fear of failure that often stops you from even taking the first step; or
05
Wish you could figure out how to set better boundaries and feel calmer and more centered…

…then I'd say, "Cool! You'll fit in around here perfectly."

Gratitude From Clients

Rachel is unafraid to sit in the dark with you, but she also does not let you stay there.

I can say without hesitation that my time with Rachel as my therapist was profound, empowering, and groundbreaking. I came to her in crisis, virtually unable to see the forest for the trees some days, and through her unique combination of skilled clinical applications paired with warmth, quick wit and humor when appropriate, we together were able to begin to unravel some of the themes in my life that had, prior to my time with her, kept me stuck in a place of uncertainty. Rachel is unafraid to sit in the dark with you, but she also does not let you stay there. She is fiercely devoted to helping her clients realize their full power and potential. Her approach is current and vibrant and, yes, grounded. I can easily say that working with Rachel changed so many things in my life…for the better. If you are even slightly on the fence, just call. She's amazing.

I have re-wired my business and personal relationships to a deeply serving equilibrium

Rachel is a skilled educator and a profoundly supportive guide. I couldn't more highly recommend her classes, programs and courses to any who are seeking deeper levels of self-awareness, tools and practices to cultivate healthier lifestyle choices. She has encouraged me to learn so much about healthy boundary setting and with her as an example I have re-wired my business and personal relationships to a deeply serving equilibrium. Any who receive the privilege to work with Rachel will be so filled by her kindness, her wisdom and her depth of resources.

Rachel is grounding, inviting and authentic

Empowering and inventive are the words that come to mind when describing Rachel's calming yet targeted yoga style. I've had the pleasure of experiencing both the "yoga and beer" version at Noble Jay Brewery as well as enjoying a private yoga class in appreciation for healthcare providers. Rachel is grounding, inviting and authentic as she caters to many levels of practice. Her eclectic style and bridging to mindfulness makes her classes a fun and unique experience.
