Modern Therapy for Only Children, Neurodivergence,
and Grief Processing in Atlanta, GA
Unique challenges require unique solutions.
Life is a lot sometimes.
The world isn’t always built for the highly-sensitive, those experiencing grief, or neurodivergent minds. That’s why I provide evidence-based therapy and individualized treatment plans designed to empower each and every client, both adult and child. With targeted ADHD support, neurodivergent strategies, and developmental guidance, I teach tools to thrive in school, work, and daily life.

Grief & Loss
Whether you're coping with the death of a loved one, anticipating a loss, or processing an ambiguous loss (grieving in absence of death, such as a job loss or breakup), together we can find a path forward and reframe painful experiences to create meaningful memories.
ADHD & Neurodivergence
Struggling to manage ADHD or navigate life as a neurodivergent individual? I specialize in helping clients build strategies tailored to their unique brain wiring, empowering them to overcome challenges like overwhelm, procrastination, and social anxiety. Together, we’ll create sustainable tools to thrive in your personal and professional life—because your differences can be your greatest strengths.
“Parentified” & Only Children
Being an only child can come with unique experiences and challenges. Many only children develop strong self-reliance, maturity, and independence at an early age. However, the trade-off is often perfectionism and struggles in interpersonal relationships due to intense focus and high expectations. Let’s build a life in which we’re not fearful of failure.
You’re feeling stuck and misunderstood. You’re putting grieving on hold while trying to move on. You’re fighting perfectionism and impossible standards. You’re not sure where masking ends and you begin.
It’s time to:
✔️ Connect with yourself and community to challenge persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
✔️ Learn techniques to cope with stressors and build resilience to work with, not against ADHD
✔️ Process major life changes such as career shifts, relocation, or separation and the anxiety that comes with it
✔️ Work on building self-confidence and a positive outlook on life as a highly-sensitive individual
✔️ Manage the emotions and adjustments associated with loss
Hi, I’m Rachel.
I’m an only child turned people-person who learned to harness my ADHD super-powers.
There is a common thread between grievers, ADHDers, and only children. Highly-sensitive and neurodivergent individuals often internally struggle with perfectionism and feeling misunderstood - leading frequently to chronic anxiety and isolating depression. I enjoy helping others through my lived experience by teaching clients to challenge self-judgement, enjoy their identity formation, and strengthen relationships with the people they love.

In-Person, Online, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
This isn’t your mom’s therapy. We’re not studying theory and just wishing our problems away.
The struggle to build and maintain healthy relationships with ourselves and the world is at the core of anxiety and depression. Talking about it doesn’t always cut it. I utilize research-backed, values-oriented approaches to treating mental health conditions related to unique stress of operating (in a world that doesn’t get it). We'll build some tangible skills in direct communication, managing change, and safely “feeling” feelings versus avoiding them.
In-Person
If meeting face-to-face is more your style, come visit one of my two offices, conveniently located off West Paces Ferry in the Buckhead community of Atlanta, GA and within a therapist collective in Sandy Springs, GA. I provide a safe and confidential space where individuals can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and concerns, receiving immediate feedback and support.
Online
Get comfortable! I use a HIPPA-compliant telehealth platform to meet clients where they’re at - literally. With a convenient app and secure appointment reminders, client’s are never out of touch.
