Therapeutic Coaching

For women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are

rethinking what success and happiness really mean.

Coaching Like You've Never Experienced Before

I work with women in that powerful middle stretch of life—usually between 35 and 55—who are rethinking what it all means and what they want next.

Is this you? You’ve poured yourself into your work—leading, building, achieving—but the question keeps tugging at you: Is this really the life I want?

I offer online sessions year-round, as well as in-person retreats by arrangement in the Seattle area and London, England. Specific group retreat locations and details are shared as they become available.

Most of my clients come to me after exploring different therapies, engaging in self-help practices, or even attempting to avoid their issues altogether. Regardless of how you discovered me, please know that you're not alone. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical work, I provide a unique approach to support you where other methods may have fallen short.

I’m Rachel, a therapist and international coach who helps women welcome the middle-ish chapter of life—where things get honest, and finally, interesting.

Who is this for?

  • Meet Clare. She’s in her early 40s, mid-career, and on paper she looks accomplished. But inside, she feels weighed down by old patterns, an inner critic that never quits, and a longing to feel at home in her own skin. Clare’s story might sound familiar… because she represents so many of the women I work with.

    Clare is smart, creative, and the one people at work rely on when things need to get done well. But lately, she’s been asking herself: Is this it?

    At work, Clare works hard but often feels overlooked and her contributions slip by unnoticed while louder voices get the recognition. At home, she still finds herself caught in old family patterns that leave her feeling small, guilty, or like she has to prove herself all over again. She knows how to hold it together, but inside she feels drained, frustrated, and invisible.

    Clare’s inner critic is loud: Don’t speak up, you’ll sound difficult. Don’t say no, you’ll disappoint someone. Don’t take up space, people won’t like it. And the truth is, she’s tired of listening to it.

    Clare longs to stop fighting with her body and start feeling proud of it. To have relationships where her boundaries are respected, her voice is heard, and she doesn’t have to shrink to keep the peace. She wants to show up fully in her life,  with clarity, confidence, and a sense of ease.

    Clare isn’t looking for a quick fix. She knows the roots of these patterns run deep. What she’s searching for is a safe, supportive guide who won’t judge her, who understands how layered this all is, and who can help her untangle the stories she’s carried for too long. Someone who can see the strengths and magic in her - even before she can.

    What she sometimes forgets is that the life she’s dreaming of — one that feels authentic, balanced, and genuinely good to live… is closer than she thinks.

  • When we work together, I help you hear your truth… the one that’s been buried under self-doubt, expectations, and old patterns. I listen for more than words, noticing the weight of what isn’t said and the stories that keep you stuck. This isn’t about quick fixes or surface changes. It’s about uncovering what’s real, shifting the way you see yourself, and creating changes that last.

    The outcome? You’ll feel clearer, more confident, and more at home in your own life because you are able to set boundaries, have your needs met, and live in a way that finally feels authentic to you.

    The best part? It doesn’t take years. With focused coaching, you can experience meaningful shifts in a fraction of the time.
