About

Hi, I’m Rachael. I'm so glad you are here.

 I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Perinatal Mental Health–Certified clinician (PMH-C) in Ohio. I support parents who are navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the many transitions that come with becoming—and being—a parent.

My work is deeply shaped by both clinical training and lived experience. After facing my own perinatal mental health challenges during pregnancy and postpartum, I felt called to create a space where parents feel safe, understood, and supported as whole humans—not just in crisis, but in growth. I integrate trauma-informed care, somatic and nervous system–based tools, and gentle mindfulness practices to help parents build capacity, resilience, and steadiness in everyday life.

Through The Whole Parent Collective, I offer somatic therapy and leadership-informed coaching that honors your experiences, your body, and the reality that parenting and intuition are deeply connected. We move at your pace, grounded in compassion, connection, and hope.

Here are the modalities that inspire me and have taught me so much in how to hold space for you. Check them out before we meet:
