Ways to Work with Rachel
People-Pleasing and Boundary Setting
Anxiety in relationships can make you feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells, second-guessing your actions, or feeling insecure about your place in someone’s life. Whether it's worrying about what others think, fearing conflict, or feeling overwhelmed by the emotional dynamics of your relationships, anxiety can make it hard to connect authentically.
In our work together, we’ll explore the sources of your anxiety and develop tools to manage it. You’ll learn to communicate your needs more clearly, build your confidence in relationships, and create healthier patterns that support your emotional well-being. You deserve to feel safe, heard, and loved without the constant anxiety.
ADHD: Understanding and Managing Your Diagnosis
My Specialties
If you often say "yes" when you mean "no", put everyone else’s needs before your own, or feel guilty for taking time for yourself, you’re likely caught in the cycle of people-pleasing. While it might have been a strategy to keep things smooth, it can leave you feeling drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected from your own needs.
Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your people-pleasing behaviors and work on setting healthy boundaries. You’ll gain confidence in saying "no", prioritizing your own needs, and building relationships that are balanced and fulfilling. You deserve to have your needs respected, and I’ll help you get there—one step at a time.
Let’s work together to help you break free from old patterns, find more balance, and build the life you want—whether it’s overcoming people-pleasing habits, managing anxiety in relationships, or understanding and navigating life with ADHD. You deserve to show up as your true, authentic self in every area of your life.
Anxiety in Relationships
Navigating life with ADHD can be challenging. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or are supporting a loved one, understanding your ADHD symptoms and how they impact your daily life is the first step to managing them more effectively. ADHD can show up in many ways: difficulty focusing, managing time, challenges in relationships or staying organized, but that doesn’t mean it has to control your life.
Together, we’ll work on understanding your ADHD diagnosis, recognize how it shows up in your life, and develop strategies to manage symptoms more effectively. From time management and organization to emotional regulation, I’ll help you build the skills you need to thrive. ADHD is part of who you are, but it doesn’t define your potential. Let’s find ways to work with it to create a life that feels organized, calm, and fulfilling.
