Postpartum Therapists in Nashville

On the surface, you're doing well: good job, decent relationships, semi-functioning adult. You're "fine." Internally, though? Your brain won't stop. It runs a constant loop of not good enough, what ifs, "did I say something weird during last Tuesday's dinner?", and "how many exclamation points in this email is too many?" You spend too much time rereading texts for hidden truths, contemplating how to write the "perfect" email, and doomscrolling when it all becomes too much. You've started to wonder- "Is this how life is supposed to be?" If this sounds like you, know that life does not need to feel this way. I help people just like you find out what okay actually feels like. I'm Rachel, a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist based in Nashville, TN. I help young adults who are struggling to set boundaries, engage in self-care, and feel drained from the way life is lifing start to feel more centered, confident, and connected with themselves. I'm here when you're ready.

Aside from being a therapist, I'm also a mom, an immigrant daughter and an avid reader. I completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University in 2021. Having grown up in the heart of the diverse immigrant community, I've also spent over 10 years volunteering and serving immigrant and refugee families through various organizations. Since entering the mental health field, my passion has only grown to close the gap in access to mental health care for individuals and families. In an effort to help close that gap, I offer reduced rates for those clients that need it. Therapy should be accessible to everyone!

I’m a therapist, mother, and amateur baker. I became a therapist for people who are feeling anxious and disconnected from themselves because I know how unfulfilling it can be to live your life in that way. Sometimes, it can feel as if you’re on autopilot. Or you feel persistently on edge and tense. Maybe you’re constantly doing things for other people and you’re noticing just how burnt out you are. You’ve lost sight of who you really are and what you really need. But, you feel stuck and you’re not sure where to start. I’m here to help. I’m compassionate, nonjudgmental, and real. We’ll talk honestly about what you’re going through and work together to build strategies that help.
