empowering women to find strength and resilience in the midst of Separation & divorce
Hi, I’m Rachael!
I'm a separation and high-divorce coach specializing in guiding women through change, grief, and discovering new identities after divorce.
Not long ago, I was exactly where you are now, wondering if I could leave the toxic relationship that had defined most of my adult life.
As a clinical therapist, I felt the pressure to fix my marriage, but over time, I felt my identity slipping away and became lost in confusion and uncertainty about how to break free.
When I say "I get it, I see you," it's because I've walked in your shoes.
Since navigating my own high-conflict marriage termination, I've made it my mission to empower over-functioning women to strategically navigate separation, divorce, and healing from psychological abuse to help them reclaim their lives with clarity, courage, and self-compassion.
You can find freedom from a toxic relationship without losing yourself, your children, or your financial security.
At Resilience to Rise, I'm here to support you through every stage—from the Reckoning, to the Rumble, and on to Reclaiming your self-worth, identity, and dreams for the future.
If you're here, I suspect you're overfunctioning, striving to keep yourself, your nervous system, and your calendar in balance, while simultaneously questioning your sanity, self-worth, and the Toxicity of your relationship and divorce.
Are you questioning your resilience to navigate divorce?
Could you use support to understand how to co-parent with your ex-spouse?
Are you questioning how to rebuild your life and heal from divorce?
Could you use support to understand the dynamics of high-conflict separation & divorce?
Do you wish you had a community to connect with during this journey to help you feel less alone?
