THERAPY & COACHING

Hi, I’m Rachyl.

I work with women and couples seeking a deeper sense of alignment. One that emerges when we begin listening more closely to the body, telling the truth about our relationships, and making room for who we are becoming.

My work is grounded in the belief that our bodies carry the stories of what we’ve lived through: the ways we learned to belong, protect ourselves, take up space, make ourselves smaller, or become someone we thought we needed to be. Therapy can become a place to listen to those stories with curiosity, loosen what no longer belongs to us, and discover new ways of being in relationship with ourselves and with one another.

My approach is woven from warmth and thoughtful precision. I care deeply about creating a space where you can feel both held and gently challenged. Spacious enough for intuition and creativity, and grounded enough to help you discern and develop sustainable practices around what is actually true for you.

As a therapist, artist, and lifelong student of the creative process, I’m honored to walk alongside those who are ready to return to themselves, reclaim what has been quieted, and participate more fully in the life that is becoming theirs.
