Grow Through What You Go Through

I’m Rachael, a psychotherapist, writer, and group facilitator passionate about helping you create a life that feels authentically crafted and created by you.

If you’re ready to stop people-pleasing, let go of perfectionism, and finally set boundaries that stick, you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll clarify what you want and need—then map out how to get there.

Through compassionate conversations, practical tools, and deep self-discovery, I’ll support you in reclaiming your voice, your power, and your peace.

You don’t have to navigate change alone. Let’s take the first step toward the life you deserve.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

Self-Sacrifice and People-Pleasing Are Hurting You.

Ignoring what you feel and want leads to feelings of not knowing yourself and not trusting yourself.

Choosing to take care of other people emotionally, instead of taking care of yourself is exhausting and leads to guilt, fear, anger, resentment, and illness.

Constantly focusing on doing what others think is best for you can cause you to make major life decisions (such as education, career, and partner choice) that are deeply dissatisfying.

It's Not Your Fault.

Relational trauma, which includes early childhood neglect, abuse, and abandonment (physical or emotional) can create a “fawn” or people-pleasing response as a coping strategy.

Becoming hypervigilant to the subtle cues, needs, and desires in your caregivers is a way you were able to predict, anticipate, and adapt to their behavior.

These experiences likely made you Highly Sensitive, or an empath.

This way of relating to other people is also societally reinforced in our patriarchal society, especially for women.

Discovering Who You Are is Sacred Work.

Beyond that perfect, pleaser persona is an authentic and divine feminine powerhouse. The world needs to hear her voice, learn her ideas, and to grow from her influence. 

Accessing your intuition, creativity, and imagination can support you on your life’s path. 

Clarifying who you are, deep down, and what you want allows you to live the life of your dreams.

Let’s get curious about your inner world… that curiosity is going to lead to clarity…

And once you know what you need, you’re on your way to getting those needs met. Getting your needs met feels really good!

So grateful!

“Rachael immediately conveyed trust and support. The most memorable part of the group was the chance to untangle and unpack feelings and experiences and connect. Without Rachael’s guidance and care, it would not have been the same.” – Kathryn B.

Thank you!

“The group was well-structured and organized and the content presented was very relevant. It was clear a lot of thought was given and work put into coming up with the structure for the class as a whole as well as each individual session. She fit a lot into our time together.

This was a very healing and timely experience, and I appreciate the thoughtful and intentional way Rachael created and held the container for the group.” – Cari B.

I looked forward to every week!

“Sharing with others and the connections I made will stick with me from this group. Hearing each other’s stories and seeing how others were in a fragile state, too, was really impactful. I can’t thank you enough for making this available.”  – Group Participant
