Research Meets Real Life

You talk, I listen, and together we figure out what matters. No affirmations, no fuzzy woo-woo - instead structured curiosity, humor, and practical next steps.

You’re spinning on a tricky problem and need to make a decision that feels right. My approach borrows from behavioral science, qualitative research, and a few thousand interviews’ worth of curiosity.

Hey there! I’m Rachel — a former user-experience researcher who now studies one subject: you.

Here’s what I bring to the table:

15+ years of research and facilitation experience

Trained to ask insightful questions, spot patterns, and notice what others miss.

Part strategist, part coach—like a conversation that actually gets somewhere.

How I Can Help

Three ways to think straighter.

Single session

Clarity Sprint

Quick clarity when you need direction now.

Cut through noise and overthinking to name what’s really stuck.

One 90-minute session, no prework, notes provided after.

A clear decision statement, a simple next-step plan, and mental breathing room.

Best for smart overthinkers who want clarity on one issue without a long engagement.

4-5 weeks

Decision Lab

Structured thinking for complex choices.

Untangle competing priorities, emotions, and trade-offs.

Four 60-minute sessions over 4–5 weeks with check-ins.

A personalized decision framework, mapped trade-offs, and confidence in your final choice.

Best for people facing layered career, relationship, or life decisions that feel too big for one conversation.

2-3 months

Transition Partner

Steady partnership through major change.

Maintain clarity and direction during a personal or professional transition.

3 months of biweekly sessions and asynchronous Slack check-ins.

Clear milestones, steadier thinking, and a sense of movement amid uncertainty.

Best for individuals ready to make a decision and move through the change with support.
