Life doesn’t look the way you expected it to.
When you’re not feeling like yourself because of whatever life has thrown at you, you deserve space to stop holding it all together and start feeling like yourself again.
That was until… A health issue hit. You were thrown into a caregiving role you didn’t ask for. Or the scaffolding you built to hold everything together - your sleep, your focus, your sense of control - finally gave out.
Suddenly, the ways you’ve always coped - pushing through, figuring it out, handling it all - aren’t cutting it anymore. And you’re starting to wonder:
What if the ways I’ve always coped are what’s costing me now?
You’re the one who gets things done: the calm in a crisis, the one people lean on. (If you happen to be an eldest daughter or just radiate eldest-daughter energy, hi, I see you.)
Do any of these sound familiar?
-
You’re so tired it feels cellular — and not the kind a nap or a weekend off can fix.
You’ve started Googling things like “early menopause,” “autoimmune symptoms,” or “is burnout a disease?”
You’ve started resenting your to-do list, your body, and maybe even your partner and then feel guilty for it.
You feel foggy, disconnected, quick to snap — and your body keeps sounding alarms no one else can hear: chest tightness, gut chaos, migraines, disrupted cycles.
You’re grieving the you before things got like this.
-
You can’t remember the last time you woke up feeling rested and your brain starts spinning before your feet even hit the floor.
Your days are a blur of appointments, medications, and mental checklist…and your own needs don’t make the list..
You’re so done hearing “You’re so strong” when what you really need is support.
You feel angry — at the situation, at the silence around it, and sometimes at yourself for feeling this way at all.
Your friendships are fading, your hobbies are on hold, and your future feels… paused.
You’re not just the medical liaison, the emotional buffer, the one who remembers it all — you’re a person, and you’re burning out.
-
You fall asleep fine—but wake up at 2am, wide-eyed and wired.
Or you lie awake for hours, exhausted but unable to shut your brain off.
You dread bedtime because it feels like another battle you’re going to lose.
You wake up feeling foggy, irritable, and already behind.
You’ve tried melatonin, magnesium, white noise, calming podcasts—nothing sticks.
Your body is tired, but your nervous system won’t power down.
You keep wondering if something’s wrong with you—because you “should” be able to sleep.
You’re starting to worry that chronic insomnia is just your new normal.
-
You’ve always held it together—until lately, when the smallest tasks feel like uphill climbs.
You’re missing deadlines, zoning out during conversations, forgetting what you were saying mid-sentence.
Your brain feels like it’s glitching: a mix of fog, restlessness, and overwhelm.
You bounce between overdrive and shutdown, unsure how to pace yourself anymore.
You’ve tried organizing, pushing harder, powering through—but none of it’s sticking.
Maybe you’ve always had these struggles but masked them with perfectionism or structure.
Or maybe this is new—and you’re wondering if it’s ADHD, burnout, hormones, or something else entirely.
You’ve started asking: Is this just stress? Or is there something more going on?
HI, I’M RACHEL.
As a psychologist, an eldest daughter, and someone who’s navigated the demands of unexpected caregiving, I know what it’s like when your own needs get pushed to the bottom of the list.
I bring a mix of evidence-based care and deep attunement to the real-life messiness of chronic stress, shifting roles, and health that no longer feels predictable. We’ll make space for the hard feelings and start making sense of them—so you’re not just surviving, you’re reclaiming your footing.
I’m not here to hand you a worksheet and send you on your way. We’ll get beneath the surface of what’s keeping you stuck, and create a plan that supports both your nervous system and your lived reality, whether that means learning how to wind down without numbing out, protecting your sleep like it’s sacred (because it is), setting boundaries that don’t crumble under guilt, or finding small, doable ways to reconnect with the version of you that’s been buried under exhaustion, caregiving, and chronic stress.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed or overlooked in other spaces, you don’t have to worry about that here.
-
You're managing medications, appointments, and emotions — often at the expense of your own. Caregiver burnout isn’t just exhaustion; it’s the quiet erosion of your identity. In therapy, we’ll process the unspoken grief and resentment, create space for your needs, and help you reclaim a version of your life that includes you again.
-
You’re managing a body that’s unpredictable—while the world still expects you to keep up. Whether you have a diagnosis or are stuck in limbo, the physical symptoms (like fatigue, pain, and brain fog) and emotional weight (grief, guilt, disconnection) are real. In therapy, we’ll address both, so you can feel more grounded and in control again.
-
You’re tired all day—but the moment your head hits the pillow, your brain kicks on. You toss, turn, check the clock. Nights feel endless; mornings come too fast.
CBT-I is the gold standard treatment for chronic insomnia. We’ll retrain the thoughts and behaviors keeping you wired and wakeful, and build a science-backed, personalized plan to help you get real, sustainable rest, without relying on medication.

Brain fog. Focus issues. Memory glitches. Is it ADHD—or is it stress, trauma, sleep issues, or menopause?
I offer comprehensive ADHD and executive functioning assessments for adults who want real clarity, not just a rushed diagnosis. Whether ADHD is the answer or not, you’ll walk away with a thorough evaluation, a formal report, and next steps tailored to your life.
